P.M. Harper stops off in Thorold!!



Before leaving Canada to go to Rome, on a recent flying visit to Thorold, as part of his announcements on Canadian content, P.M. Steven Harper was captured with Harley Harris by the P.M's private photographer. The picture was taken at "Cosmos", a downtown Thorold Diner we actually have breakfast in on a regular basis. While the obvious excitement on Harleys face is apparaent, the P.M. was pleased to be in conversation with Harley for a few minutes. He asked Harley what grade he was in, what sports he played and what he wanted to do when he left school. Harley replied, "Grade 8, Basketball,soccer,dirtbikes and not quite sure!"
