How will history remember Stephen Harper?

While many politicians are remembered for what they built, Prime Minister Stephen Harper's legacy may have more to do with what he dismantled.

But what about his legacy? How will Harper’s time in office be marked in the history books?
 
Not that long ago, a former Progressive Conservative politician (he stressed the “progressive” part) told me Harper will not be remembered for building anything, but rather for what he’s dismantled while in power.
 
Or, as this veteran Conservative put it: “These guys only know how to tear stuff down.”
 
There’s a case to be made for that point of view.
