Harper was a big hockey fan, even wrote a history book about the early days of the game.

Harper loves hockey. He wrote a book on hockey. Chill.

For what it's worth the Stephen Harper that wrote this book is the Stephen Harper that was prime minister when the book was published.

That never made me like him though.

I am utterly convinced that Canada's, and specifically Harper's recent politics of fear (after all, no politician prior to 2006 had ever used fear tactics) irrefutably proves that Harper is the 21st century version of Hitler. It is only a matter of time before innocent civilians are profiled and detained for simple matters of free thought and speech.

The parallels between Harper and Hitler are too strong to ignore.

Firstly, both politicians published their own manifestos for controlling the masses:

  • Exhibit A
  • Exhibit B

    Second, both politicians had majority control of their respective governments.

  • Exhibit A
  • Exhibit B. Note how Harper has yet to eliminate the opposition in his respective parliament, Trudeau is literally the only person who can save us from absolute tyranny.

    Finally, both leaders , nay, dictators forced oppressive legislation upon the masses, to cement their statuses as iron dictators of their nations.

  • Exhibit A
  • Exhibit B . Note how we are all considered terrorists under the CPC reign of fear/terror.

    Wake up sheeple. The end is nigh. #HeaveStephen2015

Our past Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, is a huge hockey fan and wrote a book about hockey.

I didn't hear a lot of hockey analogies out of him.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

I'm saying this apolitically. I don't even live in Canada anymore, but he's the perfect fit. He absolutely loves hockey - he's a 'leader', he's been in office for almost 10 years (meaning he'll be done soon), and he is a diplomat.

Oh yeah, and he's a hockey historian: http://www.amazon.com/Great-Game-Forgotten-Professional-Hockey/dp/1476716536

I have a feeling this would be a perfect job for him, and I actually think he'd do a great job running the NHL.

He supports bringing more teams to Canada too - and if anyone can do it, the former PM of Canada is the man.

Remember Condi Rice said her dream job is the Comish of the NFL?

PM Harper is actually a big hockey fan, wrote a book on it too.
