TORONTO (NEWS 1130) – The NHL’s all-time leading scorer has given Conservative leader Stephen Harper a high-profile assist.
Hockey legend Wayne Gretzky endorsed the prime minister at a campaign stop in Toronto this evening.
“And I’ll just say this in ending, I think you’ve been an unreal prime minister, you’ve been wonderful to the whole country and you’ve been so nice to me.”
Gretzky’s endorsement comes despite the fact the Great One may not be allowed to vote in the coming federal election. A recent court ruling upheld a rule banning long-time expats from casting ballots.
