At Home in Hespeler

Yesterday I hit my five year blogging mark. To celebrate the occasion, the Conservative Party held a conservative party. It is appropriate. Five years ago the Conservatives were in opposition. Six weeks after I took up the mantle, they were governing.

It’s been a wonderful five years: I have had some fun, took some pictures, and run, very unsuccessfully, for Senate.

But lest we think Prime Minister Harper is ungrateful for all I have done, here he is, singing my praises last night:

Holy cow! Prime Minister Harper took his Little Help From My Friends schtick from last year, and extended it last night. This year for an encore he took a full band onstage in Ottawa, Celtic band Herringbone, and performed a five song set, plus a snippet of John Lennon’s Imagine, in honour of the musician who died 30 years ago yesterday.

Here’s the setlist

Sweet Caroline
I’m on My Way
The Seeker
Share the Land
Jumpin’ Jack Flash

Audio of the whole show is available at David Akin’s blog: here

Here’s some video snippets.
