I Knew Him Well, Horatio….
Today we are visiting someone who knew Stephen Harper as a callow youth—his old English teacher.
Mr. Falstaff, like most Shakespeare scholars teaching high school, has become philosophical. He remembers his former pupil well.

Either that or you slipped them a couple of bills – Continue reading
