The Question: “Raising awareness about cat welfare is a good look for your husband’s upcoming campaign strategy. Don’t you think supporting government action on missing and murdered indigenous women in this country would be a better look?” Sporting black cat ears, Laureen Harper dismissed the young woman’s question saying “We’re
