The Harper Rumour

[bcholmes]

Siobhan just mentioned to me, in passing, the rumour that Stephen Harper's wife has left him for her RCMP bodyguard -- a rumour that I hadn't heard before. There doesn't seem to be any mainstream reference to this.

There are articles and blog posts about Laureen Harper's alleged lesbianism, and blog entries asking if people believe the rumour.

Other than that, you get cheesy discussion forums and the like.

I don't want to be a gossip-monger, but if this is true, I think it's important to situate against Harper's long-time anti-gay stance.

That was a rumour last year...

Antonia Zerbisias has commented on her Facebook that newspapers haven't reported on the story not because it's off-limits, but because it's simply not true. I would assume that the feature writers at the anti-Harper Star would be quite in the know about these things, so I've decided to go with that version.
