CBC Radio's Susan Lunn had a whack of good, insightful questions in her back pocket when she went in for a sit-down interview with Stephen Harper today in Vancouver.

Subjects? The final days of Harper's campaign, on being more publicly empathetic, his distaste for political celebrity, the race in Quebec and more.

But just before heading off to meet with him she showed the list to your agent and asked "Anything else you can think of?"

"It's obvious!" came the reply from her colleague, eager to help shape a dialogue with a world leader. (A colleague who also, it can now be revealed publicly, is an obsessive nutter when it comes to all things John, Paul, George and Ringo.)

"Harper's a Beatles fan, so ask him 'What's his favourite song of theirs, and why?'"

Hard-hitting it ain't but sometimes those questions bring fun answers.

You can hear what he told her when Susan's interview airs Friday on CBC Radio One morning shows.

Here's betting it won't be Taxman.
