Never has a campaigner for Prime Minister held closed campaign rallies and vetted Canadians who wanted to come to meet him or not taken lots of questions from the media. Completely unacceptable in a democracy.

Did Collective Soul give him and his Cons permission to use it? <br /><br />http://www.macleans.ca/politics/ottawa/on-the-harper-tour-everybody-behave/<br /><br />As Harper walked off the stage to the song Better Now by Collective Soul, shaking hands with those in attendance, even some Conservative supporters felt they could collectively act, well, better now. “I felt very bad for the journalist, because now, she feels like she’s in a hostile environment,” Corrin says. “She should be free to ask a question.” But he says the continuous questioning about Duffy at campaign events is tiring for Harper supporters. “I think anybody with a Conservative bias just thinks it’s petty,” Corrin adds. “You’re not going to get a different answer [from Harper], so why ask it?”<br /><br />[snip]<br />====<br />Someone involved in the Canadian music scene wrote to me:<br /><br />"The group [Collective Soul] probably knows nothing of it. the songwriter might. It's the publisher that Harper and co. would have to get the synch license from. Maybe he did it. He's got some friends in the Canadian music industry that may have advised him."<br />Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09630890163958807048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-26088356447882425142015-08-25T19:43:04.016-04:002015-08-25T19:43:04.016-04:00If Steve couldn't get it together in the 9 yrs...If Steve couldn't get it together in the 9 yrs he was in office, in better time, how can we trust him to keep it together in "bad" times. He put all the eggs in one basket. Jobs are needed and they won't be coming from the oil patch or pipelines. The manufacturing sector slipped badly while the Cons were in office. The manufacturing sector needs to recover for there to be jobs. With all the trade agreements that may be difficult.<br /><br />Steve wasn't happy at all about the agreement between Iran and the 6 other countries. No wonder. Once Iran is back in the game, they will reclaim their position in the world oil business. who needs Canada's tar if they can buy Iran's oil. We are so f..ked with Steve's game and now we will have to start all over again.<br /><br />At least Mulcair's day care plan will provide some jobs.<br /><br />e.a.f.noreply@blogger.com
