HALIFAX—Stephen Harper is facing questions about his questions.

Namely, how many he’s willing to take each day. And he’s refusing to answer.

Harper takes only five questions from the media each day – four from the reporters on his tour and one from a local reporter – unlike his political rivals, who place no restrictions on how many questions they take.

== ==

At first, he refused to answer but when pressed, suggested he’d be open to addressing any issues he hadn’t already discussed. But he never explained his rationale for not fielding more questions.



“If there’s another subject, I’ll answer,” the Conservative leader said to journalists, who were kept more than 10 metres away, penned in behind a yellow fence.

1. Didn't The Canadian Government Fall?

I thought the Harper Government fell -- because Parliament voted that Harper and his cronies were in Contempt of Parliament.

Who cares about anything Harper says or does?

Isn't he finished?

3. Yes it fell, but that means there's an election. The leaders are all campaigning right now

Harper is still technically PM until the election is over, I believe

5. Do You Mean......??

Do you mean that even though he and the rest of his contemptuos cronies were found to be in contempt of the Canadian Parliament, he is STILL Prime Minister?

And he is allowed to run for Prime Minister?

He belongs in jail!

6. Actually I remember that very subject being discussed a few days ago

From what I remember, it was his government who was found in contempt, not him individually. Had they found him, Stephen Harper, in contempt, rather than the "Harper Government," he would not have been permitted to run.
