Harper DID make deals with China which I don't like. I am not an admirer of his for many reasons, this among them.
But... I remember those days. I remember the constant pressure from the Liberals and NDP as well as corporate Canada adn the media to make nice with China, pressure Harper ignored at first. So I give him some credit for having the right ideas. He often did. But also as he often did, he refused to stand behind his beliefs and caved in once the recession set in. He was the great pragmatist, after all.
The Liberals and NDP get ZERO credit, of course. They enthusiastically embraced China from the beginning. Chretien had the RCMP rough up and falsely arrest all kinds of people during the APEC summit because he'd promised the Chinese dictator he would see no protestors if only he would please, pretty please, pretty pretty please come over. "I put de pepper on my steak!" he said jovially, he and the Chinese dictator slapping palms about what you do to demonstrators. Those who followed him into the leadership took identical positions, and still hold them.

It was under Harper that the Sino Forest SCAM- the biggest stock market swindle in Cdn history finally UNRAVELED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For those who dont know- Sino Forest HAD THE CHINES GOVT as one of its partners........................................
and yet the main holding companies were SHELLS that NEVER actually produced any wood products in its home territory of Yunan!!!!
Sino Forest got started in Canada under Chretien..............................................
and DELIBERATELY TARGETED Cnd investors "because they know more about the forest industry"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In spite of having the Chinese govt as partners.................................
Sino Forest eventually collapsed into bankruptcy................................................
WITH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS LOST both here in Canada................................
and ALLEGEDLY LOST in China as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With such a fiscal record - Harper was UNWILLING to let Chinese business people have the sort of free rein that western business

Our idiot Boy ABANDONED our allies left hordes of people at the mercy of Isis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HYPOCRITE LIE-berals like hemer-HOID point out that Our idiot Boy sent Cdn soldiers to train Jurds and others to resist Isis...............
and so instead of a relatively short fight dominated by western air power that would pave the way for a quick victory.............................
Our idiot Boy HELPED turn the fight against Isis into a LONGER..................................
more DRAWN OUT AFFAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That gave Isis MORE TIME to torture and abuse its SEX SLAVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was LIE-beral Chretien who sent a BADLY EQUIPPED pack of Cdn soldiers to Afghanistan.............................

LIE-berals DELIBERATELY MAKE HUGE MESSES....................................................

Afghanistan..................................................
the Chinese govt abuses of its slave labour population....................................................
And it will be CONSERVATIVES who have to sort out the Canola war.........................................................
