At least that's their story.
BBC TV has a different story. Their economics correspondent is reporting that the Canadian Prime Minister missed the family photo because he was "in the loo".
The PMO says it is sticking to its story, has tracked down the BBC reporter to straighten her out, and expects a correction.
Not only that, when they did the do-over photo session, Silvio Berlusconi went missing. Maybe we can make a deal with the Italians:for historical purposes, they can have the picture with our guy in it, we'll take the one with their guy in it. And both our nations can try to forget.
PS. Can we officially refer to Harper's G20 visit as "gaffe-filled" now?

So, the leader of the CRAP (Cons/Reform/Alliance) party was in the "CRAPper".
LOL

I hope the BBC reporter is preparing herself for a petulant, hissy, shrill scolding from Kory Teneycke.
I thought about writing about this, but it's such a puff piece ultimately, and it was well covered.
No matter. Everyone knows Harper's still full of it.
I just hope the Harpies stay in character and handle this little gaffe as badly as they do everything else.
If they thought the Canadian media was...*waaaah*...unfair, just wait until the British tabloid press notices. Which it may not, since Harper is, when not petulant, boring.
Was little Stevie really in the loo? Couldn’t wait eh?
Pleeeaaaze get to the bottom of “washroom-gate” asap!!
The world is holding its collective errr…. breath!

Appartently BBC checked things out with officials and they're sticking to their story.
Hey, do you think it's easy being a "regular" guy?
I just took a (ugh) boo at the Blogging Tories - not one comment on the loo story. Well, isn't that a surprise.
I would have thought Janke would be investigating this. Janke is slipping.
Maybe she'll get sued for libel?
You know there is no way in hell she'll be visiting Canada anytime soon.
