Suspect drives through security barrier at PM's retreat

GATINEAU, Que. (CP) - The security perimeter around the prime minister's official Quebec country house was breached early Sunday morning by a "troubled individual" who smashed a car through a gate.

"The protective unit of the RCMP intercepted the vehicle right away and proceeded with the arrest of the individual," Cpl. Jean Hainey said. Prime Minister Stephen Harper was staying at the residence, known as Harrington Lake, at the time of the 2:30 a.m. disturbance.

The RCMP provided few other details although various media reports said the suspect was a woman who was driving a white Chevrolet and simply wanted to meet Harper

SECURITY BREACH car plows through wooden security fence!!! i only wanted to meet harper really i was not gonna attack him or anything!

youd think the prime minister of canada would have a little better security then a wodden fence one meter off the ground....

So what if he get's killed? It's not like he's important or that people love him.

This was just lame, things happens, people get cream pies in the face... Why make a loud noise about this little incident? Because of terrorism? BS. No one want to kill Harper, nor want to invade Canada.
