Steve Nickelback and the Rebranding of Stephen Harper

Well as you know the young fanatics in the PMO are desperately trying to improve  Stephen Harper's image. Frantically trying to put a fresh coat of lipstick on it, before the next election campaign.

But it's all going horribly wrong. 

Trying to portray Harper as a Great Strong Leader, who is almost as fresh and just as pretty as Justin Trudeau, AND a Mr Nice Guy, just isn't working eh?

No matter how hard they try. No matter how hard the PMO pit bull Jenni Byrne screams or grunts...



So now a former PMO member has come up with the wildest and most desperate idea  yet.

Rebrand Harper as Steve Nickelback. 




Right now, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is the hot new indie band, the one the press can't get enough of and the people seem to like, even though they haven't actually heard him because he has yet to put out a record. Meanwhile, Stephen Harper is Nickelback. 

It's true you'll find no shortage of people who say Nickelback sucks. But no one can deny their commercial success, just as fair-minded observers can't deny Harper's electoral success.

And all I can say is WHY?

Why would Andrew MacDougall dredge up the sordid past, and do that poor band even MORE damage?



Or lower it even further in our estimation. If that's possible.

Or remind us that Nickelback started off as a band called The Village Idiots.

I mean doesn't MacDougall realize that Chad Kroeger has FEELINGS ??? 

And that him and the other band members are probably still deeply traumatized by the way they allowed Stephen Harper to use them so shamelessly,

In the vain hope that some of his "greatness" would rub off on them.

And are probably still trying as hard as they can to forget that unfortunate episode. 

Just like poor Bryan Adams.

Who was once suckered into a photo-op in Harper's living room. 



And later confessed he found the experience deeply disturbing.

The next thing you know, we’re playing music in his living room and I realize it’s a photo op. The only publicity the story got is that Bryan Adams got to play with Stephen Harper.” 

“More like Stephen Harper got to play with Bryan Adams,” I suggest. He shrugs. “It was quite disturbing.”

And who can blame him eh? How would you like Stephen Harper playing with YOU?

*Shudder*

But what really blows my mind is that MacDougall seems to have forgotten that reminding us of Great Ugly Leader's musical proclivities, can only remind us of his regular band Herringbone.

And of this bone in his throat or his posterior.

Ottawa police have charged a 43-year-old public school teacher — who is also the drummer in Prime Minister Stephen Harper's band — with sexually assaulting two girls.

Because scandal it seems, does follow him EVERYWHERE...



For let's not forget that he could soon be singing, under oath, at Mike Duffy's TRIAL 

Which just might be his last performance, until he plays Johnny Cash in the Big House.

But of course that's the problem eh?

He may be desperate, he may want Canadians to love him so much he can taste them in his mouth when he grinds his teeth at night.

He may hit the stage again...



But it just won't work. 

He'll never be Steve Nickelback, he'll never be a Great Leader, he'll definitely NEVER be Mr Nice Guy.

The fanatics in the PMO will never change his ghastly image no matter how much mascara they cake on him, or how much lipstick they smear on his cold cruel lips.

Because as I pointed out in this little video I made, before he fooled Canadians into giving him his precious majority.

His mask fell off long ago...



Sadly, not enough Canadians saw the real Stephen Harper in time to stop him from winning that election, raping our values, and trying to kill our country.

The progressive parties were far too soft on him.

But hopefully this time things will be different. We will brand him instead of the other way around.

The monster will be exposed. His ghastly act will be booed off the stage.

And he will get the HOOK...
