The speech Harper didn't make ...

Some people never learn. (I might be one of them.) After launching a neo-con sneak attack last week that backfired terribly, Stephen Harper got on national television tonight and took more potshots at the Liberals and NDP. I don't get it.

FWIW - here's the speech Harper should have made tonight:

"On October 14, Canadians elected the Conservatives as a minority government. In so doing, they affirmed our previous term as the governing party and gave us a clear mandate to lead Canada into the future. Canadians did this, however, with the expectation that we earn the confidence of Liberal and NDP members of the House of Commons. Last week, we failed to meet that expectation. This was a regrettable deviance from our previous course of action.

I pledge tonight to return to a more cooperative approach to government. I look forward to recognizing the contributions of the Liberal Party and the NDP as we provide peace, order, and good government for all Canadians. Good night, and here's to a bright tomorrow for our great country."

Hard Rubber (HNIC Anthem)

Nothing will ever replace the old Hockey Night in Canada theme song, but I felt it was my patriotic duty to enter Hard Rubber into CBC's anthem challenge. Press the play button (above) or check out Hard Rubber being featured on Larry Updike's morning show on CJOB!
