This just in from the Prime Minister's Office: What we call a “handout pic” from the PM's communications staff. This photo, taken by the Deb Ransom, one of the prime minister's official photographer, was snapped this week at Scotiabank Place near Ottawa just before Taylor Swift took the stage. Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his daughter Rachel attended the concert and, before the show, Harper got a backstage visit and presented the book “The Maple Leaf Forever: A Celebration of Canadian Symbols”. On the frontspiece Harper wrote:
“Taylor:
I hope you look back upon your time in Ottawa fondly. Thank you for spending time with my daughter, Rachel, and me.
All the best in the future!
Stephen Harper
Prime Minister of Canada
May 20, 2010″
Here's the pic:
