PRIME MINISTER HARPER GETS HIGH ON HYPOCRISY

Dear Editor,

In case you haven't heard, Stephen Harper gets high with a little help
from his friends.

Prime Minister Harper surprised a crowd of deep-pocketed potential
campaign donors on Oct. 3, singing the Beatles classic and, I must
admit, it was both a decent singing job, as well as a brilliantly
staged political stunt.

Give the devil his due, Harper is a brilliant politician.

The typical Stephen Harper supporter, unable to form an independent
thought or analyze anything themselves, likely loved the performance
and think that Harper is a really cool, personable guy.

All intelligent people, on the other hand, saw a soulless, callous,
malice-fueled marionette expressing the unadulterated spirit of pure
hypocrisy.

Does Harper lock his "friends" up for a mandatory minimum prison
sentence of six months for drug trafficking after he gets high with
them?

Under Harpers new anti-drug strategy the PM and his friends would be
thrown in jail, have their kids taken away from them, and have their
lives ruined by a criminal record, all for passing one marijuana cigarette.

This prime minister is willing to ruin the lives of millions for using
cannabis, and then sing about it. How dare he!
