    Eh… Yes it was a complete removal of the democratic process, the parliamentary system allows for parties that have a majority to form an alliance and form the government, just because it has never happened in Canada doesn’t mean it can’t and shouldn’t. Harper decided to go against the democratic will of the majority and shut down the parliament instead. Then there’s the robocall scandal (which led to prison), prisoner torture (which led to another parliament shutdown), meetings with the oil industry while writing a law that got rid of environmental legislations, millions spent to promote tar sand.

    Them silencing scientists and their handling of environmental legislations killed people, it’s not smaller scandals, they just managed to make it seem so by never talking to the press about anything while they were in power so people wouldn’t pay them no mind.
