Citizens who really want a national portrait gallery in Ottawa can rest easy. The government already has one.

All you need to get in is a Commons security pass, a Conservative party membership and a keen desire to view exclusive pictures of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, exclusively.

Conservative MPs confirmed yesterday what Green party leader Elizabeth May and Macleans.ca blogger Kady O'Malley reported on their cyberspace sites.

Photographs of Mr. Harper in various poses, at various sites, are hung throughout the private and cosy government lobby of the House of Commons.

Ms. May and Ms. O'Malley were surprised and a bit speechless when they saw the exhibit recently as guest Commons Speakers during a youth Parliament.

"When you walk in the door, all you see are pictures of Stephen Harper," said Ms. May

"I'd say between every window, in every available space of the wall, at eye level, every available space has a photo of Stephen Harper."

Two words spring to mind to describe someone that narcissistic, mentally unstable.

Rick, aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill?

Except for blind, partisan leftwingers, who the hell cares? Harper is a politician! Of course he's narcissistic and mentally unstable!

Name me ONE politician who isn't!

And don't even THINK of using Elizabeth May for your example!

Man, sometimes I think you'd turn a rainy day into a partisan event...

Previous Prime Ministers would always display portraits of their predecessors along with cabinet members.

Nobody went to the extreme levels of narcissism that Harper has shown.

Sorry, Bill. Everyone else that has been in that place was also a politicians and none of them hung pictures of themselves exclusively.

You take this with all the other things Harper does and it all becomes rather insane. He changed the letterhead from Government of Canada to Harper Government. The party was found in contempt of parliament. Reporters regularly complain about a lack of transparency and access to information. Federal scientists need his approval to deliver their research at conferences. He glorifies military missions (remember the Libya celebration?), rather than treating them as as solemn but necessary obligation. He's used partisan ideology to determine what third-sector organizations will be defunded, while in the past party-politics did not play a role. He continues to try to get legislation passed to be able to spy on your communications without a warrant and had to get Toews to backpedal twice on it.

Dear Leader is right. And apathy rules the day.

Wow just wow. Doesn't say much though, there have been very good Narcissistic leaders such as Bill Clinton and very bad ones as well such as Pol Pot. It really is all about what they truly believe because narcissistic leaders are very hard to convince they are wrong so you better hope they are right most of the time.

The beauty of our system,as opposed to the one Pol Pot championed is...

In four years we can send the "Dear Leader" at 24 Sussex Drive packing back to Calgary...

Narcissism? Maybe Harper is in the lead for that. Again I say, so what? He IS a politician!

At least he doesn't talk to his dead dog at a seance!

I just cant' understand why so many believe their political heroes must be saints and shining examples of the "perfect" personality.

If they were normal they would never run for election!

And you know this because... ?

Do you people really think Harper came down one fine day with a bunch of pictures of himself and put them up there? I mean, really!?

Fact is that in this day and age, the leader is the party. People didn't vote Liberal, Tory or NDP. They voted Harper, Ignatieff, or Layton. That's just the way it is. Most of the time they barely even knew the name of their local candidate, and didn't care. So obviously some flunky decided to put Harper's picture up in place of whatever, party logos, maybe. Big shrug.

[Keepitsimple]

Ricky, Ricky. We know you hate Harper. We got the memo......but dragging up an article from January 2008 is taking things a little far......grow up! It bears repeating - it's amazing how those on the Left carry so much anger with them....whether it's anti-Harper, the Global Warming zeolots, the anti Sarah Palin crowd - the Left is filled with anger and venom - like spoiled children - they can't seem to accept any view other than their own. Rick - you are a shining example of that anger.

But of course that won't happen as the NDPeers & the Liberones drop in the polls & the fiscal policies of PM Harper show the way to a bigger majority. Lizzie Greenery is not even mentioned.

..blended with a stroke of jealousy. A potent combination.

Or..... the only thing keeping this country growing was the policies the opposition forced on the Conservatives and as time goes on and Canadians are worse and worse off it will be the CPC dropping like a rock.

Hey Punked, why don't you stamp your feet and cry? That would prove how calm and logical lefties are!

You would just love that wouldn't you? Just because that is how your behaved when your team wasn't in power does not mean that is how all of us respond to adversity.
