Caption the Political Photo: Stephen Harper meets with China's propaganda chief

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Welcome to a new installment of Caption the Political Photo.

      This picture from the Prime Minister's Office shows Stephen Harper meeting with Chinese Communist Party official Li Changchun, known as China's propaganda chief, on April 19. We weren't there, but we suspect they were exchanging tips on how to best deal with "foreign radicals".

      Here's how Caption the Political Photo works. If you were Harper and/or Li, what would you be saying in this picture? Tell us in the comments section below, on our Facebook page, or on our Pinterest board.

      We'll repost the photo tomorrow (April 20) using our favourite submission.

      Update (April 20): And we have a winner. Thanks to Stefan Shipmaker on Facebook.

      Li Changchun:
      We've been good to you, but, where is the oil?
      Harper:
      You must be patient, I'm still building the prisons to get rid of the terrorists trying to impede the export routes.

      Harper: Li, your teachings in the art of propaganda have helped me control my country effectively. Even David Suzuki can now acceptably be considered a terrorist by my government.

      Changchun: No, Mr. Harper, you have far surpassed my humble country and I, we learn from you now. You are the grandmaster of propaganda, and we are honoured to be learning from the Evil One, himself.

      Changchun "How are the Flames doing?"

      Harper "What flames? I just ignore the people of Canada and their democratic ideology... . Oh you mean the Calgary Flames"?

      Li: Did Vic Toews follow my advice and change the law to allow the police to examine every usage of the Internet?

      Harper: We came SO close!

      Li Changchun: "my favorite Goebbels quote is..."
      Harper: "If you keep telling a big lie people will eventually believe it?"

      Harper
      I am thinking of selling Canada, I have a majority, can do anything I want. Are you interested?
      Li Changchun
      We are interested, we will pay more and know how to deal with dissent.

      Li: "Thanks for letting me slip in under the cover of darkness to avoid being served with a lawsuit"
      Harper: "Oilsands investment can buy a lot of favours in our land."

      Harper: " Like I said Li, I have two of these enormus balls, THIS BIG, but a lot of people say I don't have any. They say I can't stand up to super powers like your country and the US. What should I do?"

      Li: "Hmmm........do you have a knife handy?"
