Chretien won at least one and a half elections on the platform of "I'm not Mulroney" .and little else

Harper won at least one election on the platform of not not allowing the tainted Liberals (from Adscam) to have their hands on the cookie jar.

The difference is that Harper didn't explicitly say this, and Chretien made it a key point.

Much like many posters on these boards, the Liberal party lives life in the rear-view mirror...How many posts start with, and have as their only point "But Harper...", and conversely, anytime anything good in Canada was noticed under Harper, even up until 2015, these boards would have someone posting "thank you Paul Martin" - ten years after he lost power...(just yesterday, we had a poster blaming Mulroney for 1981's recession, even though Mulroney was not in Parliament or elected until years later. Pointing this out, got your post deleted.)

Something is wrong with your compass, if "progressive" means living your life looking backwards..
