1. I wonder of the Conservative Party paid royalties to use this song.

   I’m also curious to wonder what Lady Gaga and Yoko Ono think of the Conservative Party using them/ their name/ their associations to sell the Cons.

2. I’m speechless… Harper can play the piano. I thought he was a robot.

3. Was Machiavel a hore? Maybe, who knows!

4. Harper ne reconnaît même pas les droits d’auteur comme il devrait.

5. “I thought he was a robot.”

   Well, he might be a piano playing robot: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=piano+robot&aq=f

6. Why does a newspaper dedicated to Toronto arts and culture think that it is appropriate to engage in misinformed and biased political commentary? If I wanted to read hack opinions about politics, I’d read the Toronto Star.

8. The unrealistic, idealistic lyrics in John Lennon’s “Imagine” does not make the music less beautiful, just like the stupid brotherhood of all mankind envisaged in von Goethe’s poem in Beethoven’s 9th symphony will never materialize. The world will always have Islam and primitive Africans and sensible people like Harper (and me)who refuse to embrace them as “brothers”.

9. Extreme cover versions require extreme responses:

10. Did Fearless Leader pay public performance royalties for that music, or is the law just for common folk?

11. Copyright…

    I am not so sure that Mr Harpers knows anything about “paying” royalties to writers, composers and publishers in Canada.

    Will the coalition, that represents hundreds of thousand of writers in Canada…it’s a lost in votes for the party..YEAH !

12. Oops, Yoko made them take Harper off YouTube

    Yoko Ono can’t Imagine Stephen Harper singing Lennon

Yet, how can we stop it?”unless you control everyone else’s mind, you can’twe need to replace “peace” with a concept more like “shalom”more than just an absence of force but a general state of well-being should be our goal”If anyone wants to have a real discussion — not a series of snarky comments — let’s start with Afghanistan”oh yeah, Afghanistanalways a great place to starthow’s that for snarky? “Given the stakes, but also given the insanity and brutality of war, what is the wisest course of action?”glad you askedit’s to bring our boys home immediatelywe can’t afford to run around the world fighting everyone else’s wars for freedomit’s not immoral to do so but we don’t have the resourceslet’s ask ourselves why we’re in this stupid involvementwell, this lukewarm, moderate, mamby-bamby Republican was President when Iraq invaded Kuwaita shame in some ways but really none of our businesswe really didn’t have much in common with either sidethe mamby-bamby decided we should right this wrongwithout this decision, no Gulf War I or II, no 9/11, no Afghan war
