A relic of times gone by.... I’m curious if anyone else has these ghosts around their towns. (This is in Kamloops, B.C.)

Put him back in the seasonal storage, I know he's got more electability than peepee but this is just so transparent, like a two for one deal offer but what you actually get is the american deepstate

This documentary I'm watching is meh but this French poster saying Stop Harper is a forever mood.

'Stop Harper' sticker campaign has potential to make a real impact, says expert

The message on the stickers couldn’t be clearer: Stop Harper, framed in the shape of the familiar red octagonal road sign. Or just the word Harper, designed to be slapped on a real stop sign.

Article, back from August 2015, two months before the most recent Canadian federal election:

While they might seem juvenile, one political scientist suggests they’re an interesting backlash to the slick, stage-managed political advertising we now take for granted...

They certainly create the opportunity for an impact on the election, said Prof. Jonathan Rose, a political scientist at Queen’s University whose interests include political advertising.

“Because it is a sort of grassroots, clearly designed to be amateur campaign it creates the argument that there is this grassroots sentiment to stopping Harper,” Rose said.

“I think where it might be effective is providing a counterpoint to the professionalization of campaigns.”

There were many factors stopping Stephen Harper’s conservatives winning the 2015 federal election, but “Stop Harper” was a motif that could be seen across the country.

Months after the election, I see little analysis on the impact of this meme, though I believe it had an effect on the thinking of Canadian voters.

And I haven’t seen anything for Trump like this, yet!

Yeah, he’s cute, but how badly did he want Stephen Harper out of office?

I'm so funny*

I live in Calgary. On Deerfoot Trail there ETA signs that are supposed to update with traffic. They aren't very accurate on anything more than moderately busy to no traffic. There's petitions out there to name the Calgary Airport after Stephen Harper. My dad actually sent me the link to sign. One of the many things he sends me that I delete without reading. Anyway, as I was driving past one of these ETA signs just south of 16th Ave heading north, it was saying 6 minutes to the Airport. I kept hearing Trudeau's voice saying "No one believes you!" So I kept notes. It told me 3 min to 32nd Ave, it actually took 6 minutes. My exist is at Beddington, which is 1.9 km from the airport exit. It took me 14 minutes to get there from the ETA sign. They should name these signs after Harper. *I know it's not really funny but it amused me enough to post.

It was never Canada’s government

that Conman swindled his way into office three times

he played us all for fools

he played us all for toys

he never cared about us

he never cared about anything

but himself

we fought, we fought, we had to fight

it was the only way out

tooth and nail, we fought

he might’ve played dirty, but he couldn’t play forever

we clawed him down

and dragged him away

and soon

soon

Canada can come back.

It was Harper’s government.

It wasn’t Canada’s government. It was Harper’s government.

That bastard took our country and made it into his personal playground

Never can we allow that again

Never can we allow that again

Fight against the system

Rise, rebel, resist
