Just last week the <a data-HoCid=\"111555\" href=\"/politicians/jim-prentice/\" title=\"Jim Prentice\">Minister of Industry</a> embarrassed himself with bizarre economics and incoherent math and these were backed up with false and misleading quotes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"933215\" data-originallang=\"en\">The minister tried to rewrite the history of deficits in this country, the kind the Conservatives create and the Liberals have to clean up. Does the minister recall the multi-billion dollar deficit left to Canada by his political hero Brian Mulroney?</p>",
