Prime Minister Stephen Harper spent a few hours in Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories, announcing Canada's first-ever Arctic marine protected area, meeting some locals and, just before getting on the Canadian Forces C-130J which would take him to Whitehorse, borrowed someone's all-terrain vehicle for little joyride up and down the dirt runway of Tuk's airport.
“Good fun,” Harper told the assembled reporters on the airstrip after his run. “You don't normally get a runway (and) I didn't see any speed limit signs. Too bad you guys can't do it!”
One saucy reporter pointed out that the prime minister likely didn't have a licence to be roaring about on ATV on a federal regulated airport landing strip.
Harper paused for a second. “I think I make the rules.”
But don't take my word for it, here's the raw video (click on the image to play):
SCANDALOUS!! lol i love watching the left wing weenies go nuts over this non-soundbite. morons.
I think it is funny how the former Reformers sold out to get power and now seem to be acting a lot like Mulroney and Trudeau.
