Good Day Readers:Earlier this week Toronto Mayor Doug Ford hosted a BBQ for several hundred guests including Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Finance Minister Jim Flaherty both of whom addressed the group.
Someone made a video which shortly afterward appeared on YouTube. Here's what MacLean's Magazine said:
A YouTube video of Prime Minister Stephen Harper congratulating himself for cleaning up the left-wing mess in Ottawa and Rob Ford for cleaning up the “NDP mess” in Toronto at a Ford-hosted tribute BBQ for Finance Minister Jim Flaherty was removed at Ottawa’s request. Other revelations in the video include Harper divulging details of a fishing trip he took with the Toronto mayor, and a statement revealing Harper’s support for Conservative candidate Tim Hudak in Ontario’s provincial election. The Conservative government contacted the guest who posted the video and asked for it to be removed.
The Toronto Star
Even the National Post weighed in on the "Garden Party." (Video: Rob Ford, Stephen Harper talk fishing, 'NDP mess' at backyard bargecue - Natalie Alcoba, August 3, 2011). The 3-sources were unable to produce a copy giving rise to speculation the Prime Minister's Office did indeed ask it be removed from YouTube which it was.
Here's what we don't understand. Why were we able to find it so readily on the following link?

We sure wouldn't go fishing with Messrs Harper and Ford - adults acting like children!
