Dave Thomas: “Harper is probably the worst thing that’s ever happened to Canada.”

In a wide-ranging interview, SCTV alumnus Dave Thomas - who with Rick Moranis created the iconic Canadian characters Bob and Doug Mackenzie - says that Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper is probably “the worst thing that’s ever happened to Canada.”

...

When the discussion ranged into politics, Thomas criticizes both Obama’s inability to curb or regulate Wall Street’s excesses, as well as the Bush administration’s decision to go to war in Iraq.

...

Thomas responds, “Oh, yeah. Canada’s just such an absolute suck-up to America. This guy that’s in there right now, Harper, is probably the worst thing that’s ever happened to Canada.

And where Canada had a definition and an identity at one time, with people like Pierre Elliott Trudeau, now it’s just like you’ve got this bird-eyed freak running the country - that’s just - he was in Bush’s pocket, he’s in the pockets of big business. He is the most insidiously conservative - eroding the liberties of Canadians at such an incredible rate that it would make Americans go to their cellars and get their muskets and start shooting. It’s unbelievable.”
