Harper late for photo op - again

Posted in Political Bytes Posted on July 9, 2009 08:31 AM |

It happened again ... Prime Minister Stephen Harper kept the leaders of the G8 and G5 (China, India, etc..) waiting.

They were all lined up for the family photo - but there was no sign of Harper. Some of them could be heard calling his name as they looked around for him.

He showed up after two minutes to much laughter.

Harper completely missed a similar event at a G20 meeting in April.

His aides say he missed that photo because he was being "briefed."

The BBC cited well-placed sources who said Harper was in the washroom.

No word yet on what waylaid him this time.
