Welcome to my blog.
This is my creative outlet that could include my thoughts on anything from current affairs, my weight loss quest and things that just make me need to voice an opinion.
As most Canadians know, Prime Minister Stephen Harper is a big time hockey fan.
OK, any Member of Parliament that isn't should be force to resign as it's mandatory to be a fan of our National Sport to hold office.
Any way, a friend of mine snapped this photo outside of the PM's home at 24 Sussex Drive in Ottawa last night. It clearly shows Prime Minister Harper and the U.S. Ambassador to Canada David Jacobson bringing in the brewskies from the trunk of the limo. They were getting ready to cheer on the Montreal Canadiens as they looked to clinch a playoff spot (which they did) against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Nothing more Canadian than watching Hockey Night In Canada on a Saturday night with some cold pops and a good neighbour.
I liked Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper before last night but now...I like him just a little bit more.
He received a standing ovation after he surprised guests at a National Arts Centre Gala in Ottawa on Saturday night by playing the piano and singing a light-hearted Beatles tune.
Harper, a Beatles fan, joined cellist Yo-Yo Ma on stage and sang a rendition of With a Little Help From My Friends.
I don't have the whole performance for you but here's a sample of what he did and how it sounded. I think he did a great job. Plus, he went from being just another stick in the mud stuffy politician to being human and that counts big time for this voter.
