BBC World News refers to Kevin Rudd as Canadian Prime Minister Fellow Canadians, let us be clear: Kevin Rudd is our Prime Minister. Picture: Twitter/@@ImogenJC Source: Supplied CANADIANS watching the BBC's royal baby coverage yesterday may have been slightly alarmed to discover they had a new Prime Minister. Yes it's true: Kevin Rudd suddenly found himself as the temporary head of our North American cousin after the BBC World News referred to him as the Prime Minister of Canada. While it remains unknown what Stephen Harper thought about his sudden demotion, Twitter users were joking that our illustrious leader was furthering his political ambitions. Perhaps Mr Rudd was going to run for the Canadian title, but had to zip, or the BBC honestly didn't know who he was. Not so, according to the PM's office. "The PM definitely hasn't been given a promotion - he already has the best job in the world," a spokesman told news.com.au. At least the world page of the BBC coverage regarding world leader's congratulatory messages was spot on, referring to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, respectively.
