A video has been uploaded to YouTube by “Steve Harper” which shows the Prime Minister rehearsing a speech with aides and family members back in 2011. Mr. Harper exhibits his sense of humour with imitations of several previous leaders, including Brian Mulroney, Joe Clark and Preston Manning. CTV calls the video hilarious and notes that some are saying it is a timely reminder that the Prime Minister is personable at a time when his office is involved in the Senate scandal. The video, uploaded to YouTube Wednesday by “Steve Harper,” appears to have been shot on May 3, 2011, the night Harper’s Conservatives won their first majority government, as the PM conducted a sound check at his election night headquarters in Calgary. The normally businesslike Harper stands at the microphone grinning and begins doing impression of previous leaders while his wife Laureen and son Benjamin urge him to just “read the speech.” He ignores their entreaties.
