    Anyone know why he would decide to drop in on this wedding? These people don’t seem to know him, and the guests — the priest, especially — look befuddled.

    Why were they told to call him “Mr” Prime Minister? I thought “Prime Minister” was the title? Like, Prime Minister Harper, could you stand over here beside Prime Minister Brown?

    It’s like saying “Mr Doctor” isn’t it?

    And I bring this up not so much because it sounds like he really wants to be called “Mr. President” but because I was proud of the fact that no matter whether our Prime Minister is a male or female, we don’t have to change the name!

      What about “Sir Steve”?

    • Wotcher?

      With the added advantage that we will never have to call a prime minister “madame”.

        Why does Mr. Harper hate women?

        • Neil from Calgary

          Why do the Liberals?

    • Michael

      “Mr. Prime Minister” is a warm up act until he finally gets the elusive majority to change the position officially to “Mr. President”.

    I guess he was missing a ‘wedding photo’ for his next CON calendar blitz!

    Mr. Prime Minister as in Mr. President perhaps?

    Mister or madam moderator, if you wish to delete my last paragraph about the absence of T.P. and indoor plumbing chez Wherry, feel free to allow all other commentary to appear above. Thank you.
