Hate is a strong word in this case. Canadians feel about him the same way most thinking people do. Got too rich too fast at a young age. Not an unusual story. It's happened many times.
People here in the east hate Harper. It's like the thing to do. What's funny is how harmless and funny-looking he is.
But I agree that he is all about the 'now' and not what happens next, which is obviously a lot more important. Good news is I can't imagine him being re-elected after this term by a longshot. The last election was practically cut in the middle.
Not by popular vote, that would of never gotten him in. It's the amount of ridings he won, not the amount of actual people who voted Conservative.
I don't know much about Canadian politics, but out of curiosity, in what way is Harper "anti-science"?
This is a term I mostly hear among fringe atheist and environmentalist groups who don't really understand science themselves, beyond (often fallacious) appeals to authority.
I rarely hear it used in a discussion involving two or more mentally balanced, rational individuals.
In the US, it's tough to say, because it depends so greatly on the region. In the South, for instance, Obama is probably the most hated person, with some people seriously believing he is the antichrist, and many people thinking that he's a socialist communist Muslim hellbent on destroying America.
As far as the rest of the US is concerned? That's really tough. Justin Bieber, maybe; it's sort of the "cool" thing to hate him now. If not him, then maybe Kim Jong Un.

Maybe Hugo Chavez?
In the US it is hard to say. Shows how divided we really are. I agree in the south and other conservative areas, it's easily Barack Obama. In liberal areas it's anyone with "Republican" as a title.
Hard to say really. Used to be Margaret Thatcher while she was alive, but while nobody is particularly "hated" to that extent these days, more as a pantomime villain I'd perhaps say George Osborne or Iain Duncan Smith (Chancellor of the Exchequer and Secretary for Work and Pensions) more so than the PM. They've got the job of cutting back on public spending and the welfare state - nuff said!
This is an easy one. Yes, there is. And his name is Silvio Berlusconi.
I don't know a person with a more unanimously bad reputation, even hatred, than him. Persons like George W. Bush don't come even close to Berlusconi. And hey, we're just returning the favor. He hates Finland with a passion, so we hate him back.

I disagree. I've heard the term used by even moderate Republicans to describe the likes of a Paul Broun (evolution is a lie from the pit of hell).
