CFN – Our Prime Minister had excited the Twitter Universe with his adroitness when it comes to history, or lack thereof. I think many of those giggling along with #harperhistory miss the point.
Our PM has been changing history here in Canada and making it his own for awhile. We seem to have gone from a country of peacekeepers well thought of around the world to…um….Alberta.
So it’s not that Mr. Harper erred historically to depths that’d be a fail on “Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader” but if he insists that elephants are orange and not gray it probably pays to agree…
#harperhistory has had some gems though:
PM Harper settled the war of 1812 with an F-35.

#NDP lived 130 years, and begat a son in its own likeness and after its image, and called his name Kiefer

The NDP stood idly by as an asteroid collision caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs.

“The NDP refused to come to the aid of men when Mordor invaded Gondor.”

Hello. My name is Stephen Harper. The NDP killed my father. Prepare for lies.

I loved that one. I wonder if anyone remembers the movie that was spoofed on!
It’s uncanny; a challenge to Canadians to drink the kool aid or have their funding cut. LINK
Prime Minister Stephen Harper twice admonished NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair this week for questions on an possible extension to the Afghanistan mission by saying the NDP didn’t even support the fight against Hitler.
Foreign Minister John Baird and Conservative backbencher Scott Armstrong repeated the reference again Friday in the House of Commons.
It’s even reached into the US where Mr. Harper has a new Admirer…
It even made the House!
I wonder how many of our valued viewers can come up with their own “Harperisms” ? Feel free to post yours below.
The NDP cancelled the Avro Aero.
