Sometimes Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's desire for an authentic photo-op gets the better of him. Witness his encounter on his last trip to the Arctic with an angry Canadian who wanted to confront him about his government's poor record on combatting climate change.
Angry Canadian: "Mr. Prime Minister! A word with you please on global warming!!!!"
Angry Canadian: "Sir ... the Arctic ice I depend on to hunt seals is disappearing. I'm now a threatened species. What are you going to do about it?"
Harper: "Um. You look pretty well-fed to me. Ah, look, I'm late for an appointment. Call my executive assistant in Ottawa!"
Angry Canadian: "Don't make me chase you, Mr. Prime Minister! I'm just looking for answers."
Harper: "Err ... we've got a very credible, uh, policy. Why don't you read what we've posted online. Look, please, I've REALLY got to go!!!
Angry Canadian: "Hmmm ... come to think of it, you smell a lot tastier than seal meat. Maybe I'll change my diet."
Harper: "HEEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
