Prime Minister Stephen Harper went ATVing today...on the runway at Tuktoyaktuk.
He took off, and left his RCMP detail in the dust. They then chased him. Two officers on ATVs, and some more in pickup trucks.
Harper roared up and down the Tuktoyaktuk airport runway. He was going very fast. His security detail continued to chase him.
When asked if he had a licence to drive an ATV, especially on a runway, Harper said, "I think I make the rules."
He was clearly very pleased.
