This was a nice surprise given how rarely we see our political leaders in this kind of light. Maybe this is still too fresh in their minds.

"A man or a nation is not placed upon this earth to do merely what is pleasant and what is profitable. It is often called upon to carry out what is both unpleasant and unprofitable, but if it is obviously right it is mere shirking not to undertake it." ~Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Tragedy of Korosko

Harper jamming with Yo-Yo Ma was way cool-unlike Paul Martin's desperate attempts to be cool, which were only pathetic and painful to watch. However, while Paul Martin's "rockin'" was covered by the liberal worshipful media, has there even been a peep from them about Harper actually succeeding to perform?
I can expect the MSM to carry this shortly after Satan laces up his skates to go to work. (that would be Beelzebub, not Miroslav, Satan.)
Part of the problem with Martin's performance was that it was not really him. Harper's piano playing, however, is really him. It's something he likes to do and it comes through. Iggy is making similar mistakes to Martin. Posing for that ad with the nature backdrop, the city tree-scape, seemed set up. He would have seemed more authentic in an office setting. I think he has not got his grounding yet as a politician.
