Federal Conservative Leader Stephen Harper will hit the barbecue circuit this summer in an effort to improve his image, which he reluctantly conceded could use a dose of levity.
"My wife said to me recently: 'You do need to have more fun,'" Harper recalled following a national Conservative caucus meeting.
"She said: 'You're not having enough fun, even by your standards.' So we'll do some of that."
Harper's summer socializing will be an effort to change people's perception of the leader, who has been accused of being too stiff and serious.
"One of the things we are excited about...is that Canadians are going to get to know the real Stephen Harper, get to know the person that we know," said Tory MP Rona Ambrose, appearing on CTV Newsnet's Countdown.
