Stephen Harper releases music video

It’s been long awaited, but Stephen Harper’s new music video has finally been released. His song titled “PM truths” is a contemporary pop, rap mix and critics claim it will be number one within the week.

“This is the kind of music we’ve been waiting for. It’s authentic and political. The fans just love it!” raves Jack Layton. Although he is an opposition leader of Harper, Layton cannot deny the catchy tune of “PM truths”. “I think this song will be great for our healthcare patients, they can listen to it from bed rest and know they have a leader out there who not only cares about their well-being, but who also cares about good music”.

The song also features Michael Ignatieff who extends peace to Harper by rapping “These beats selling millions, making up for F-35 costs, your tongue as quick as a chameleon, Harper, you can be the boss”. Ignatieff claims that he was tired of competing with the Conservatives and that when he realized Harper was a true Canadian, it was time to call a truce.

Gilles Duceppe has also jumped on the “Harper beats mobile” and is set to release a French translation of the song later on this month.

The only party that protests Harper's hit is the Greens. “This is simply ludicrous,” says Green Party leader Elizabeth May, “Think of all the environmental costs it took to produce his music video.”

The Conservative Party of Canada refuses to publicize the budget for the video claiming “the video supervisor says it would not be a smart idea. It is too risky.”

Harper’s music video was shot in front of a blue background and features Harper travelling around Canada. In his line, “Canadians you are my friends, please don’t ever leave me. I promise G8 amends, just get me out of this minority,” Harper shares the hardships that he has faced as Canada’s leader.

The song invokes strong emotion as listeners feel Harpers pain, “This life ain’t been easy, I’m bruised by coalition, haters try to overthrow me, yeah, I know that is their mission.”

Canadians are loving the new side of Harper as they feel they can relate to him on a much more contemporary level, especially young voters. “Ya know man, I thought Harper was just some grey head who knew nothing about people my own age. ‘PM truths’ shows me he’s a lot like everyone else. I got haters; Harper's got haters. There’s a lot we can relate about. His beats are sick too bra’,” says 18 year old, Slim Beetz.

Regardless of any voter’s political affiliation, they cannot deny the contagious effect of Harper’s lyrics and sound. This upcoming election, it is clear that voters will now take into consideration whether they want a prime minister who will merely lead the nation politically, or someone who will lead both in the political realm and music charts. Beetz knows who he is voting for, “It’s time Canada made its mark in the global sphere man. Harper’s music has that ability”. Voting takes place on May 2nd.
