Socialist and Separatists? They'll destroy our country. Environmental advocates? They're fundamentally un-Canadian, backed by foreign capital.
But Huawei and China? They're just good partners.
Canadians are an open people, but they value their security. Harper should know - he's spent his entire time as Prime Minister fanning the flames of fear. He needed more control, the argument went, to defend Canada from radicals like Stéphane Dion and Michael Ignatieff.
Now, his own security apparatus - the people he has listened to unquestioningly (F35s, cough cough) as they supported the Harper Agenda are telling him that same political agenda is going to hurt Canada. Not only that - the US is now wondering whether they need to worry about Canada becoming a security threat, a pawn in China's broader game.
So, having consolidated power, Harper is becoming the embodiment of every threat he has warned Canadians about, time and again.
What do you think - is Huawei a Trojan Dragon? Will China prove to be Harper's Achilles' heel?
