Rob Ford barbecue has surprise guest: ‘fishing partner’ Stephen Harper

[CHIMO]

Rob Ford’s new fishing buddy, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, says the Toronto mayor didn’t live up to his reputation during a recent fishing trip when he caught a 39-centimetre-long smallmouth bass but refused to “kill it and eat it.”

“He did catch some good size fish, including one – and I measured it, I can authenticate it – 39 centimetres,” says the Prime Minister in a YouTube video taken Tuesday night at a barbecue at Ford’s Etobicoke residence. But, he added, “he didn’t live up to his reputation as he refused to kill it and eat it.”

Before introducing Harper, who was the surprise guest of the evening, to the 700-strong crowd of Conservative volunteers, staffers and supporters gathered in Ford’s Etobicoke backyard, the mayor joked that he caught the biggest bass when he went fishing with the prime minister a couple of weeks ago at an unnamed lake up north.

While Harper didn’t mention provincial Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak by name in the video, it is rare for a prime minister to endorse a candidate running against a sitting premier, regardless of party differences.
