Those sappy Facebook “Look Back” videos are once again being used to mock a politician.
This time it`s the Young New Democrats taking aim at Stephen Harper, celebrating -- or rather, satirizing -- the Conservative prime minister.
The “Look Back” feature, which Facebook launched earlier this year to celebrate its 10th anniversary, compiles a user’s earliest and most popular Facebook photos and activity into a short one-minute video, as light piano music plays in the background.
The Young New Democrats’ video looks back on some of Harper’s most controversial decisions -- of course, making it appear as if Harper is sharing these moments himself -- including his decision to ask the governor general to prorogue Parliament in 2010, his appointment in 2008 of more senators in a single year than any other prime minister, and his early support of embattled Toronto Mayor Rob Ford.
