Politicians doubt PM's claim he doesn't watch Canadian news

[CHIMO]

OTTAWA – Say it ain't so, prime minister.

Even Stephen Harper's own cabinet seems to be having trouble accepting that the man with the famously frosty relationship to the national news media doesn't consume Canadian news.

"I tend to watch American news," Harper said this week during a question-and-answer session at a Canadian Chamber of Commerce convention in Toronto.

"I don't like to watch Canadian news and hear what Allan (Gregg) and everybody else is saying about me. My hobby is to watch politics elsewhere."

Of course. He's watching Fox and other right wing shows.

You have to have a very good memory if you lie.

1. I believe it.....after all, he is still a George Bush wannabe....

Harper doesn't like Canada much, imo, and would much rather we be a mirror image of the U.S.

I have NO doubt he watches Fox, reads the Washington Times, etc, to get his information about Canada.

I despise him, I wish he would move to the US and we would be done with him.

2. Maybe his Republican political advisors watch Canadian TV

And report the results to Harper - a little help from his friends.
