I'm sure the pundits will tell us (what to think - what they'd like us to think...). In fact last night on CTV various experts were already weighing in. Mostly the reaction was positive although always mixed with a note of rancor. One guy said Harper had better watch out how many ways he tries to define himself - as the public will get confused. That analyst is obviously not familiar with the compelling concept of the complex character.
YAH Stephen! Cool as a cucumber whether he's being laughed at or applauded. And not a bad singer either. I'm somewhat familiar with the technical requirements for singing even that well while sitting at a piano. Dude!

Tons more respectable than necromancy, IMHO.
How Trudeau. I like! -S
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathi-Lyn and Sonia! Yes, sitting at a piano, playing and singing is not for the faint of heart. Love that 'How Trudeau' Sonia! :)
