More importantly, he's not a Nickleback fan like the last guy

Seems a lot of people just want to rip on this guy at any opportunity.

Are we taking about the same guy here?

Perhaps you're confusing him with Harper, who people truly want to rip at every opportunity. Sometimes deservedly so.

Or perhaps you're confused because the masses generally fellate him. Led by our extremely biased media and many "journalists" who should be ashamed of their coverage of politics.

As long as he doesn't wander onto stage topless and photobomb the band, I have no qualms with this. And please, CBC, limit yourself to only 1 zoom-in on JT on Saturday. This night is not about him.

Thx got a good laugh out of this! Even if its staged.

I voted for the guy and think he's doing a good job but he should keep his ass at home. He's not only taking space that fans should have (probably 10 for security guys alone) but is going to create even more chaos in a city that will be bursting at the seems.

Have you considered that he might actually be a fan?

This. He was at the show last night I think, tho no one would have known except Gord mentioned him from the stage--no fanfare no nothing, just another fan. I got the impression the deal with Kingston is about him being a fan, but also a way to acknowledge that this is a significant national event, something momentous & meaningful for the country as a whole, so it's important that our highest elected official be there. In the way official gestures represent national respect and appreciation. It's about paying tribute to the band, to their impact & contribution.

Nailed it.

Besides...if any of us were Prime Minister I'm pretty sure we'd be leveraging our position to be at the show tomorrow

Seriously, do the words PRIVATE CONCERT mean anything to you, lol. I would host a show in my livingroom if I had the power to do it. There are worse reasons for losing an election. :lol:

I would never do that for fear of upsetting people on the Internet.

My online roadmap steers me to be passionate about things I love, but circumspect & careful when I'[m discussing things I dislike.

I just happen to have been listening to Flamenco for the last 6 or 7 hours: "Does it diminish your super capacity to love?...Does it exhibit your natural tendency to hate?" The best & worst of humanity is all out there for viewing in any comment section you dare to venture into. Astonishingly so.

I bet he comes out on stage at some point for the ultimate photo op.
