Don't touch me
How did I miss this classic moment with Stephen Harper, would be Conservative Prime Minister of Canada? I have to say Paul Martin looks better and better all the time. These things are relative.
But the Tory leader was miscast for the assignment. He watched silently, not knowing what to say to these kids. Until, that is, one of the finger-painting toddlers leaned toward his tailored suit.
"Don't touch me," Harper said.
Steve, Steve, stop it, you're killing me. I read that last sentence over and over and laugh every time. It just does not get old (via the Ambler).
I was also intrigued to learn that alongside Atlantic Canada's "culture of defeat" and Ontario's content with Canada's slide into becoming "a second-tier socialistic country" that Harper feels alienated even from the alienated West as "in parts of the Prairies" there is evidence of "the kind of can't-do attitude (that) is a problem in this country." I assume that would be the parts of the Prairies that do not show Calgary's economic can-do spirit so admirably demonstrated by the Saudi business model of being lucky, sucking oil out of the ground and then bragging about it. Oh, and the whining about other people having a sex-life. Musn't forget that.
Not to worry Conservative supporters. Assuming he can bring himself to talk to people, this BBQ circuit could be the ticket to showing the Canadian people his warm, welcoming side. Plus, your party leader has yet to insult the people of Nunavut so that could be a seat right there. Just don't ask for his opinion about inukshuks. It might be enough to drive him right over the edge.
