In yet another strange-yet-true election campaign story, the Ottawa Sun reports on a Stephen Harper visit to a St. Catharines Karate School Saturday:
Instructor Tom Burtnik, who runs the small martial arts club in St. Catharines, introduced the Conservative leader to a group of kids who will soon travel to a competition in Las Vegas — their first competition out of the country.
Harper did his best Captain Highliner imitation as he questioned the young athletes.
“So are you going to see the Las Vegas strip while you’re there? Do some gambling?” Harper asked six-year-old Kolten Wight.
Perhaps he should have also suggested that they enjoy some drinks or fine Cuban cigars.
