Yay! A political userpic!

[velvetpage]

I've been looking for a good one of these for a while now. This one is perfect. For those of you who don't get it, that's the Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, whose plan for childcare is "throw small amounts of money at the parents and scrap any kind of initiative that's already in place." He was announcing his plans to go ahead with this at a daycare centre. The kid was part of the standard kissing-babies photo op. Needless to say, the picture is making the rounds pretty much everywhere less than twenty-four hours after being snapped. :) Thanks, siobhan63!

I saw that picture this morning and snorted my coffee. I'm thinking I need to snag it, too. :D

Le Sigh, even worse is that a huge number of Canadians thought he would be good... Oh well, but the picture was front and foremost (almost a whole page!) in the news papers this morning!

Actually, a huge number of Canadians thought he was the lesser of two evils, and were prepared to give him a very guarded chance on a very tight leash. The only thing letting him get anything done at the moment is that the Liberals have no leader and therefore no desire to force another election. Also, all parties are currently pretty broke. They need to make it work at least until the New Year.

I probably won't use it that often - I'll have other things on my mind besides politics for the next little while. But it's such a great pic. :)
