As a Canadian who goes back to visit frequently I can confirm practically all Canadians despised Stephen Harper. In fact many were pushed to vote in the sole idea of getting him out of office. For example during his time as prime minister he cut funding for women’s advocacy by 43 percent, shut down 12 out of 16 Status of Women offices in Canada and eliminated funding of legal voices for women and minority groups. He has also cut more than half of the aid going to Africa and various impoverished nations. In short the vast majority of the nation hates his guts.
