Canada stunned to learn PM has "stylist"

That news came out in the the course of the CBC expose on the Harper government paying the tab for 30 CEOs who accompanied him on a China junket.

I mean take a look at the picture in the link. This requires a stylist? The suit, the tie, the shirt... I swear any dweeb can walk into Moore's with five hundred bucks and come out looking like that. And surely he can comb his own hair into the 'do we see here.

Maybe the stylist picked the glasses?

My first suit was a Samuelsohn I got at David Enchin's place in Guelph, The House of David I believe it was called. Still have the jacket, and by God it still looks damn fine with a pair of jeans forty years later.

Think Steve will be saying that about the rig he's sporting, forty years from now?

I guess the bigger story is why the government would pay a planeload of CEOs, multi-millionaires every one, to accompany the PM on a sales trip to China. That's not how influence peddling works in the rest of the world.

Normally, the CEOs would be expected to pay the tab for the Prime Minister.

But maybe Mr. Harper  suffers from some deep-seated insecurities. He wants those CEOs to like him, because after all, sooner or later he'll be back in the private sector.

That would explain the stylist too.
