Haha, with the talk about Harper lately, my first thought is, "He's dating Katy Perry? What?"

5 months ago it was JT is amazing for standing up to Trump, now he never existed? Now that is funny.
Yeah, the joke was super offensive. That’s why people didn’t laugh. Not because they felt secondhand embarrassment reading a grown man’s skit about Katy Perry. Definitely not.

I mean Harper has been in the news for political reasons recently. Yesterday in fact.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saska...kers-1.7595317

"I was —#I think it's fair to say —#probably the most pro-American prime minister in Canadian history," Harper said of his tenure from 2006 to 2015.

If the current government asked#him a year ago for advice on U.S. President Donald Trump being re-elected and wanting to renegotiate trade, he says he would have thought it was#a#real opportunity for Canada to#deepen its economic and security partnership with the United States."However, when this government did actually ask me a few weeks ago ... my advice was the opposite," he told the Midwestern Legislative Conference, an annual#non-partisan event#being held in Saskatoon this year#under the shadow of the ongoing U.S.-Canada trade war.

Harper called the trade war unfortunate, but said Canada has become "grossly" overly reliant on the U.S. —#"independent of the current disputes" — and there is no reason for that.

"Just because we have that geographical proximity does not justify the degree of dependence that we have on a single market," he said.


The last thing I saw from Trudeau was a pic of him rock climbing a few days ago.

I am definitely on the "who cares what JT does/ who he dates" train. Big whoop.

On the other hand though, I think it's a delicious couple for a few reasons:
1. It is basically impossible for rubes on the right not to need to talk about this as it seemingly provides confirmation for all their dirtiest, wildest insults about the man's intelligence. It doesn't actually prove anything of course, but they will all think that it does.
2. it kinda feels like he's still trying to one up his dad/ mom all the time. There's something to unpack there.
3. They're actually both attractive people and I like it for the canadiana element in pop culture.

Was that when Harper was appointed to AIMCo? Maybe it was actually relevant? Or was I talking about his latest duet?
