OTTAWA, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- Canada's federal Liberal party apologized Tuesday for posting an altered photo on the Internet of Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper being assassinated.
The party is conducting a contest to make fun of Harper's stance on global climate change initiatives, the Canwest News Service reported. One photo submission featured Harper's face superimposed on that of Lee Harvey Oswald being gunned down by Jack Ruby after Oswald's arrest for allegedly shooting U.S. President John Kennedy in 1963.
