John Oliver and Mike Myers want Canadians to break up with their ‘dickhead boyfriend’ Stephen Harper

On Last Week Tonight, host John Oliver brought on a beaver playing “Sweet Caroline,” a moose getting a colonoscopy, and comedian Mike Myers dressed as a Canadian Mountie to convince Canadian voters to break up with their “dickhead boyfriend” prime minster in Monday’s election.

Calling Canada, “The country you think about so little — that’s it. End of sentence,” Oliver brought to America’s attention that our largest trading partner is having a historic election.

While briefly touching on various scandals –including one candidate caught on video peeing into a homeowner’s coffee cup — Oliver turned his focus on Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper, saying: “Don’t be deceived by his bland exterior. Where there is banality, there is evil.”

Noting that Harper once said there was “overwhelming and growing scientific evidence” that marijuana “is infinitely worse” than tobacco, an incredulous Oliver mocked the politician saying, “Are you high? Marijuana is not worse than tobacco!”
