Hard to believe, but Jim Prentice is actually a lawyer
Oh dear.
"As the Harper government prepares to introduce tougher new copyright rules, the Conservative party is being accused of using the theme song from the reality TV show The Apprentice without permission of the record company that owns it."
Even better:
"At a press conference on Sunday, the Conservatives presented an election-style attack video about the alleged costs of Stéphane Dion's spending promises, set to the musical refrain of "money, money, money, money, mo-ney. (...) The press conference was led by Industry Minister Jim Prentice, who is also responsible for overseeing reforms intended to strengthen Canada's copyright laws."
Can't beat those optics. This is much worse than the time he demonstrated that he has no idea about his government's own policy on treaty ratification.
