Canadian press member practically calls P.M. Harper a liar to his face!
Did anyone see the piece on CBC Newsworld about Stepen Harper's press problems?...He was in B.C., talking to the local press.... He said "it's too bad the Ottawa press corps won't allow their members to ask questions at my press conferences" (not exact quote, but close as I can remember it). CBC's Terry Milewski spoke up and said "what you are saying Prime Minister is NOT TRUE! He then went on to say that what the press corps was objecting to was the P.M.'s office deciding who would ask the questions and not being able to decide for themselves who would ask questions. Harper merely took a sip of water and repeated "it's too bad the Ottawa press corps won't allow their members to ask questions at my press conferences" and his press person called on someone else for a question. The arrogant bastard!...I was impressed with Milewski's daring in practically calling the Prime Minister a liar!

3. Geeze, I remember him from his Edmonton days on ITV
Some 30 years ago. Always seemed like a straight-shooter, unaffected by anything but the story even after all this time.
