I have nothing to add to this, other than to delight in the fact that it comes to us via The Guardian : Down is the new up: Canadians suddenly like Stephen Harper, but for the wrong reasons. Michael Ignatieff's announcement on Monday that his Liberal party will not "actively seek to defeat" the Conservatives "by proposing their own confidence motions," was an almost direct contradiction...
(we returned obscenely late last night from Seattle, so this is up a little behind schedule. Apologies for the delay) Music has been a formidable support for me, as it is for many people. The first record I remember hearing was Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on my dad's stereo. He had quite the collection: jazz, classical, sixties pop, and the odd movie soundtrack. I spent many years curled...
The political expediency a given moment requires is all : In the middle of the federal election campaign a year ago, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, smarting over criticism of his government's cuts to funding for the arts, snarled at a Saskatoon audience: "I think when ordinary working people come home, turn on the TV and see a gala of a bunch of people at, you know, a rich gala all subsidized...
Here is Stephen Harper softening his image by singing a Beatles song "With A Little Help From My Friends" at the National Arts Centre gala over the weekend in Ottawa.

Canadian PM Stephen Harper sings a Beatles song: The National Post noted the following: "The surprise to those Canadians who see Mr. Harper as the arch-political tactician was that it was Mrs Harper who pushed an idea, which caused much chewing of fingernails among political advisors. Everyone could see the potential upside of neutering the impression that the Prime Ministers is a cultural cro-magnon....
Shocking video footage of the Prime Minister playing the piano and singing to the tune of The Beatles’ “With a Little Help from My Friends” at the National Arts Centre Gala held this past weekend in support of Canada’s next generation of performing artists.

This columnist calls it a masterstroke. Visiting India is also a very good idea. Let's get a free trade arrangement with India and all the other nations of the anglosphere! At a crowded NAC gala co-hosted by his wife Laureen, the kind of event Harper has rarely if ever been spotted at before, the Prime Minister played piano and sang the Beatles With A Little Help From My Friends, accompanied by Yo...
I sn’t terrific that we have a prime minister who doesn’t take himself too seriously? At the National Arts Centre on Saturday night, Stephen Harper was playing a Beatles song backed by Yo-Yo Ma no less. And he did just fine—better than most would have guessed. According to John Ivison of the National Post , the consensus at the National Arts Centre was that PM Harper’s surprise...
