Stephen Harper has of course taken on a back up job as a piano man. His choice of songs is a bit puzzling. I sent this to the National Post in reply to his latest gig yesterday, no tongue in check no not me.
It was published this morning, including corrections as I had not noticed there was indeed a picture of him playing (with no article)
I was surprised to see no coverage today of Mr. Harper’s latest singing gig with “Jumping Jack Flash” as the grand finale at the Conservative Christmas Party. This song is of course well known as a tribute to the joys of heroin use by unrepentant junkie Keith Richards. Other songs included “Share the Land”, a collectivist anthem of social redistribution, and of course this gig is a follow-on to his earlier debut at the NCC where he sang the line “I get high with a little help from my friends”.
While Mr. Harper’s policies are clearly increasingly collectivist, so that seems consistent, the other choices do seem at odds with his importing of extreme policies from the U.S. war on drugs. Is there some major policy change in the works perhaps?
