    Record high deficits, a book about renewables and keeping oil in the ground, and a housing minister that wants to maintain high home values. How is that not Liberal to a T?

        Harper wanted high home values? Why did rents fall relative to income under him then, and why were immigration levels the same as every PM before him?

        As far as deficits it seemed like Harper had a plan to a balanced budget, and he was undergoing keynesian economics during the GFC, as a trained keynesian economist. Am I wrong?
