A young man from Victoria, BC was hired as the lifeguard at the pool at the Prime Minister's residence at 24 Sussex Drive. The Harper family was making use of the pool when one of their two children encountered some difficulty and cried for help. The lifeguard ignored the cries, so Stephen himself had to plunge into the pool to rescue the boy. Afterwards, Harper grilled the lifeguard. "You ass! Didn't you see that my son was in trouble?" "Yes, sir, but I can't swim. "How the hell did you land the job of lifeguard, then?" ''I'm bilingual."
