This unappealing-looking person is the Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper. There's an election in Canada on Tuesday. We cats aren't sure if the ruling Conservatives are going to end up with a majority government or not. But we do know one thing.
The Prime Minister is following the example of Sarah Palin and refusing to meet the press.
"Harper normally takes 10 questions per day from national reporters traveling with his campaign," The Montreal Gazette reports.
Who are these people, who think they're too good to answer to the public they profess to serve? Karl Rove and Harriet Miers thumb their noses at Congressional subpoenas, Palin wraps herself in a campaign cocoon, her husband refuses to personally testify in Troopergate and submits a written statement instead — and now, Harper.
We cats HISS at this behavior, and long for the days when our leaders weren't afraid to face us. Maybe those days will come back soon.
