Yes, despite his tough stance on marijuana and other drugs, Slick Steve Harper really just wants to get high with a little help from his friends. Congrats to the guy for getting up on stage and singing a song. That ain’t the easiest thing to do. But could he have picked something more contradictory? Hopefully he made sure to secure all the rights for performing the song and posting it up on YouTube. Wouldn’t want to piss off any of those record companies that he’s helping to impose draconian copyright laws on everyone.
The thing that bothers me the most about this performance, though, was that Rahim Jaffer was nowhere to be seen. That guy knows how to party, and I bet he could have helped on the harmonies.
Oh my fellow Canadians… we have had an interesting week, haven’t we? I found myself alternating between excitement over my country actually being represented by a majority (contrary to what one might assume by our Conservative leadership, we actually voted 63% or so in favor of political parties from the left) and anxiety because if a coalition government was not stalled, the overwhelming majority of idiots in my particular province (the lovely Alberta) might truly end up trying to forge ahead with this western separatism bullshit. Alas, Prime Minister Steve Harper ran like a baby to our Governor General and got Parliament prorogued – i.e. shut down – for a couple of months, hoping that the parties he’s been pissing on ever since he won a minority government will start wimping out again.
How dare I call my fellow anti-Coalition Albertans stupid? Well, perhaps some quotes from one of their groups on Facebook to illustrate:
“Canada has never had a civil war. But if they threaten this nations constitution and democracy then that certainly warrants action.”
“How about just nuking Quebec, we would then have a majority Conservative government, and we wouldn’t have to deal with the retarted bilingualism crap. plus we could still Hire Newfies to do all our crap work, like we already do.” (more…)
