The Highs Of Harper?

Stephen Harper showed up at the National Arts Center in Ottawa to boogie down with cellist Yo Yo Ma and the NAC Orchestra. Turns out he can actually carry a tune. But then if you know the tune well you can hear he really doesn't hit the "high" notes.

Maybe that's what he means when he sings about getting high with a little help from his friends. They do the "high" stuff. It's all a little outside the box considering his strong stance against cannabis and other "highs". I suspect he has at least heard of Marc Emery.




Update: Via email, a response to Harper's Performance:




Update 2: Would you believe that Harper is in tune with California where pot legalization is gaining momentum? Nah. Me neither.

Update 3: Via The National Post...

The Calgary Herald's editorialists don't seem to think much of their readers, based on their decision to inflict the following on them:

“Some Canadians feared [Mr. Harper] might become a real Nowhere Man [after] last week's no-confidence vote [but] Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff changed his tune and decided that We Can Work It Out.” Okay, that's enough. Oh no, there's more:“It's not as though Canadians want to hear Harper at the piano Eight Days a Week, but his performance did cap off a Hard Day's Night.” Arrrrgh, somebody make it stop!

Help!
