Stephen Harper was in Toronto for the Maclean's leaders' debate at the City studio in Yonge and Dundas Square, but his campaign bus was photographed blocking a bike lane in front of the Delta Hotel on Lower Simcoe St. near the CN Tower in Toronto.
The driver of the bus refused to move it when asked and blocked photographs of himself by lifting a newspaper to cover his face.
The fine for parking in a bike lane in Toronto is $150. The fine is there because in order for cyclists to get around parked vehicles they have to merge with faster moving traffic, putting themselves in danger of a collision or being killed.
Toronto Police Service says no special parking arrangements made for the Harper bus, and therefore it was parked illegally.
A representative of the Conservative Party did not return a request for comment.
