The last Conservative PM to actually balance a budget was Sir Robert Borden, Canada's 8th PM, in office from 1911 - 1920. Harper OTOH squandered the $13 billion surplus he inherited from LPC PM Martin, and turned it into a massive deficit. But don't let facts get in the way.

@dbeggs13 Liberals just spent more than every PM combined ever. More liberal math and lies .
@dbeggs13 Harper was handed a $13 Billion surplus and then the following year he also managed to have a $9.6 Billion surplus. Then the following year was the Great Recession which was when he had his first deficit budget. But as you say, "don't let facts get in the way."
@dbeggs13 Trudeau increased the deficit more than everyone else combined.
@dbeggs13 When you get down to brass tacks you'll find party means nothing. The uni-party politrix upon us is driven by the complicit News media. Our tax dollars buy this propaganda for the communist NWO despite political affiliation. Voting @peoplespca is the change required.
@dbeggs13 Harper ran 2 surpluses. He didn't squander anything. He ran a minority gov that was in frequent danger of being voted down during a global recession. He ran deficits to gain approval from the opposition and then during majority gradually brought the deficit down to near balanced
@dbeggs13 I so appreciate your facts, John. Good for you for digging them up and presenting them so baldly.
