I mean he could be spending more time with a mistress or something, possibly having a child with said mistress, which he would be referring to as ''my family''.
Also being horrible doesn't make him a fake Conservative, it makes him just like any other Conservative.
LOL.
This jerk - our former Prime Minister - is a narcissist who would have to pay someone to be his mistress - if he were so inclined to have one. His wife, Laureen, refused to live with him in 24 Sussex (the PM's official residence) and took the kids and went to live in a swanky suite at the Chateau Laurier (rumors abound about what was going on between her and her female RCMP security detail).
This is a politician who traveled with a personal groomer and makeup artist, and about the politest nicknames he has are "Helmet Hair" and "Lego Hair." Political cartoonists often drew him with a long Pinocchio nose and royal cape and crown. He fancies himself a musician (I sing better than he does and my singing sets the cats to looking really annoyed), but I'll give him credit for being able to do decent impressions of Joe Clark and John Diefenbaker (a couple of Progressive Conservative Prime Ministers from several decades ago).
I can't think of any other Canadian Prime Minister who inspired over 50 protest songs about him. He's anti-science (unless the scientists in question can be bribed to swear up, down, and sideways that there's absolutely nothing wrong with the soil and water in/around the tarsands in Alberta and say with a straight face that polar bears are not drowning in the Arctic Ocean due to a lack of ice). He ordered the media to stop referring the Canadian government as the Canadian government and start calling it "the Harper Government" as though our country's government was his personal property.
The right-wingers keep whining about Justin Trudeau and selfies, but they're oblivious to the fact that it's other people who ask him to pose and use their own cameras. Trudeau's not the one running around, demanding to have his picture taken with members of the public. That was Harper's schtick - including pulling firefighters aside in British Columbia, demanding they pose with him, and getting huffy when they refused to sing "O Canada." Another photo-op he wanted was with a group of Boy Scouts - a politically neutral organization that was justifiably upset that Harper had some of the kids pose with him.
Paranoia much? When Harper arranged to give out Halloween candy to kids at 24 Sussex one year, he made them go through metal detectors, and the RCMP made the kids leave any part of their costume behind that looked like a weapon - stuff like cheap plastic toys. There was a photographer there, and I've always wondered if he charged the parents for the pictures taken with their kids. His wife wasn't there, and neither were his kids. The whole thing was creepy in a way that had nothing to do with Halloween.
The reason I refer to him as a fake Conservative is because of how the Reform-Canadian Alliance party hijacked the real Conservative party. Sleazy backroom deals, political backstabbing, people reneging on promises... when the dust settled, Stephen Harper wound up as leader of the Conservative Party of Canada (they really wanted to take over the "Progressive Conservative" name but couldn't legally do so). It's amusing how they settled on the party's name... some of their people wanted to call it the Conservative Reform Alliance Party, and I really wish they'd done that. Unfortunately, someone realized that the acronym for that name would spell CRAP, and so they settled on a name that worked out to CPC.
This party bears no resemblance to the Progressive Conservatives. I never voted for that party either, but at least it did have a few people in it whom I could respect. Harper's party gets none of my respect. The list of reasons is a very long one.
So yes, he's horrible as a politician, horrible as a person, and is a fake Conservative. I'm not the only person by far who feels this way; some people have suggested naming the Calgary landfill after him.
It is like we never parted. Love this awesome should be universal.
