Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper addressed 400 Ontario non-profit group volunteers while speaking about the importance of social media, he revealed the importance of twerking, but he meant to say tweeting.

He said:

[…] A quick twerk is a great way to express what I’m thinking

As the surprised crowd went silent, the Prime Minister added:

What? Don’t I look like I twerk?

He added that he likes to twerk with close friends, and “every now and then with President Obama.”

Some more gold from this unforgettable speech:

I would like to twerk with every Canadian but that of course is impossible.

After the speech The Office of the Prime Minister released this priceless statement:

Prime Minister Harper knows how important social media is to Canadians and enjoys tweeting. He has never and will never twerk. We regret any confusion that may have been created by a slip of the tongue today.

Oh Canada.
