Thank you, Thank you, I'm here all week, don't forget to tip your waiter...

Hmm, we wonder who just got Rock Band Beatles?

Ladies and Gentleman,we have a really big shew tonight. on our very stage... put your hands together, for swingin', singin' Stephen Harper...

From the political stage to the concert stage, Prime Minster Stephen Harper makes a guest appearance at the National Arts Centre, joining up with Yo Yo Ma for a rousing rendition of a Beatles clasic...



and of course the Big Finish and the bows...




If he can't carry the House in a confidence vote, he at least can always carry a tune...

We wonder what other Beatles tunes could be in the Harper songbook.

Let's see there's Taxman (for or against, it's always a problem in troubled economic times), Come Together (for keeping a minority government alive), Don't Let me Down (for fellow Conservatives), Fixing a hole (for infrastructure), Mean Mr. Mustard (a ballad for Iggy) and finally, Magical Mystery Tour or The Long and Winding road (for the eventual election campaign) .
.
Or, perhaps for the PM there is a life after politics...

Just how many Holiday Inn piano bars are there in Canada anyways?
