Cazart!!! Looks like the Canadian Prime Minister's Office -- or maybe Steve himself -- reads Walt! The Toronto Star's Rick Westhead has just reported a denial of today's top story. Here's part of the latest news on the Canada-Russia hockey faceoff.
A spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office said Monday that there is no agreement in place for Harper to play in two exhibition games involving Putin.
Yet sources told the Star that there have been talks to get Harper and Putin on the ice as part of a month-long celebration to mark the 40th anniversary of the eight-game Canada-U.S.S.R. Summit Series, played at the height of the Cold War.
“I think that what you’re seeing here is the PMO is upset that someone stole their thunder on a future announcement,” said one of the tournament organizers. “No one has ever said that there’s a contract in place for this to happen, but we have had nothing but positive response from the PMO.
“To say the story is false just sounds to me like they’re mad,” the organizer said.
Walt stands by his prediction.
