J. Kelly Nestruck is ready to find religion, so long as the good Lord bestows upon us a photographic bounty depicting Harper in a Star Trek uniform:
“… [a] secret source, who threatened me with my very life if I reveal his name, more or less revealed that our prime minister once competed in a Star Trek Convention Costume Contest! People: Imagine if someone out there could find a picture!
There must be a photo. Please God (of God Bless Canada fame), let there be a photo. Please, please, please…”

Well, Photoshop or not, it’s a good character choice; Harper, like Cmdr. Data, can’t use contractions or feel human emotion.
Also, OC, your tab-order is all messed up, so of you hit TAB to go to the next form-field it takes you to your menus. Truly a nerdy complaint, I’m afraid. :)

Not messed up here, it ain’t.

I disagree that Data is the closet analogy to PM Harper. Data’s programming allows him to express an approximation of human compassion. Harper’s does not.
He’s more like Commander Cain in the Battlestar Galactica revamp.

Renee & John:
Enjoy your science-fiction debate. I will be around to steal your lunch money later, nerds.

I’m worried that if such a photo is uncovered, Harper will become a sort of hero for geeks, nerds, spazoids and dweebs the world over.
We should be looking for photos of Harper in some sort of Nazi regalia. Or at least in some menacing Romulan shoulderpads.

This clicks in a way that’s unsettling.
