This is kind of cool. The PM had kids coming to 24 Sussex Drive for Halloween. Sadly it looks like the photos were taken with a low resolution camera phone as all of the photos are out of focus. Still I like how 24 Sussex Drive looked all decorated up for trick or treating. No [...]

While your country’s leader is dealing with the world financial crisis, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper is using his Flickr account to make sure stray cats are being adopted. I guess it answers the question on why he stopped wearing the sweater vest… too much cat hair.
