Mrs. Harper

In recent photos, Stephen Harper is beginning to look more human. He also has cute children. So my heart warms. But I do find it very strange that his wife didn’t let it slip until this week that she is no longer known by her maiden name. I can understand why as a Prime Minister’s wife, she may find it simpler to share his name but it’s odd that she didn’t let anyone know about this change during her husband’s campaign. Perhaps I am just being paranoid, but I am worried this is just the first veil falling and we’re in the fast lane to Handmaid’s Tale.
