VIMY RIDGE, France -- Prime Minister Stephen Harper toured the First World War battlefield at Vimy Ridge on Tuesday where he quipped that the enemy now carries news cameras, not guns.Harper made the comment during a photo-opportunity at a front line Canadian trench, just metres from the opposing German line."These were sand, not cement," Harper said of the reconstructed sandbags."And the enemy carried guns, not cameras," he added, looking directly over the lip of the old trench at a small clutch of Canadian TV and still cameras.
