Harper, you tone-deaf IDIOT!!

There are no words to descride this, and no one would believe me if I tried, so just watch the video at the end of the post before you continue.

Obviously, he's lip-syncing. And on the off chance that he's not... Harper, you IDIOT!

For those of us who don't know what brought this on, here's a quick recap of the last two years: Before or during the 2008 federal election, Harper lost a lot of votes in Quebec by cutting $45 million of the Arts budget. This, apparently, was the reason he didn't get a majority, his life crumbled around him and rumours have it that he tried to hit the self destruct button on himself. (Oh, Harper's also a robot, didn't you know?)

Excuse me, but the Arts cut was one of the things that I half-agreed with. Harper himself said, "I think when ordinary working people come home, turn on the TV, and see a gala of a bunch of people, you know, at a rich gala, they err..." Yes, Stephen, we see where you're getting at. And we, surprisingly, agree with you. As an ordinary working-and-studying Canadian, I don't want a big portion of the budget going to rich music snobs.

What I do want is funding for the arts in schools. You know, those big buildings that try to educate and shape children for the future?

Which hypocrite decided to parade the prime minister on a stage built for rich gala-goers and have him perform for them in person? Harper, tell your publicist that there's a fucking recession going on! This is not the time for rich galas and dumb publicity stunts.

Harper, if you must sing, there are a lot of elementary schools that have stages and pianos. Otherwise, SHUT UP AND GO BACK TO WORK!!
