Let The Door Hit You In The Head On The Way Out, Harper.

[R.J]

He is still an elected Conservative MP in Calgary ... hope they (The Conservatives put him under the bus (bulldozer)!!!

There will be a bi-election for his riding shortly. Harper is stepping away from politics not just stepping down as the leader of the PC's. But hey, let the hate flow through you, no matter how misguided or inaccurate it may be.

I have heard from multiple sources that he is staying as an MP so I'm not sure where you're hearing otherwise.

Amazing how the ever "tolerant" Liberal minded people express themselves toward the Conservatives and or anyone who doesn't share their views.

Hasn't lived there for decades & decades: Originally from Toronto, Ontario, Stephen Harper moved to Alberta to work in the petroleum industry in the 1970s. He maintains a permanent home in Calgary, and was re-elected in the federal election as MP for the riding of Calgary Heritage.

So as I said, he's from Toronto.

Yes they're a very open minded bunch, unless you dare to have a different opinion than them.

My apologies, originally heard on CTV News that he was also planning to step away from politics, just checked via google and according to CBC and other media sources it seems as though he'll stick around as an MP "for now".

Not even going to bother getting into that debate lol.

Until the Duffy trial is over. He is "immune" to being called up on the stand as a sitting MP. If he quit now, he WOULD be testifying, and we all know that he'd be caught in knowing about the whole deal (something that he has lied about until now).

He's just been hired to be the new Glad Man. Real great fit as he has the look and his archaic views should be trashed.

... or a janitor ("custodian" is far too sophisticated of a name for his new vocation). He knows all about brushing stuff under the rug, and hiding in a broom closet. Toilet scum.

Unfortunately corruption and grotesque abuse of taxpayers funds are a non partisan phenomenon and should be condemned by all.
"Sweeping things under the rug" is also a mandatory course at politician school for all of the parties, remember the Sponsorship Scandal involving the Liberal Party 10 or so years ago??

I still believe the ones who get into politics got bullied real bad in school and this is how they get back at everyone. Let's face it they all get into this gig so they can retire early with a massive pension unless your Hazel who retired at 90. haha.

The pensions and other perks are like winning the lottery.

Exactly why so many "names" have children or some kind of lineage in politics.

Trudeau/MacKay/O'Toole/Layton, etc etc etc

Why go back that far? The current Ontario liberal government has had more scandals than any other government in Canadian history.

Glad we moved back to Ontario and here I thought BC politics where screwed up. Thanks to McGinty or however it's spelled Hydro rates will be going up yearly forever. Most of the mess in Ontario happened during the 11 years we were away. The bailing on the gas plants and border bridges cost stupid amounts of money. Politics is a real messed up game and I really hate it all. They do need to legalize pot, hash, meth, coke and whatever other drug is fashionable and tax the hell out of them all. That'll start some issues but solve money issues. haha
