As we all know, before he was defeated by the Forces of Light, dirty old King Harper made a number of last minute patronage appointments.
To ensure that his legacy would live on, and that Justin Trudeau wouldn't be able to fully control his own government.
For as Michael Harris writes, he will not let go of the government.
In the last desperate weeks before he was crushed and humiliated, Stephen Harper, must have thought it was a brilliant move.
One that would ensure his insane policies of Total Oily Domination would continue even if he was defeated.
He would stack the board of directors of the National Energy Board with patronage appointments, and make sure they could not be replaced until after the next election.
And since he knew that NEB directors can only be removed after a vote in the Commons and the Con Senate, he must have thought that Justin Trudeau wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
But sadly for Harper he's wrong.
