Well that's interesting!
An Alberta Progressive Conservative, Harle resigned from cabinet in November 1983 after he was caught by police in a government vehicle with a prostitute. He claimed he was conducting a personal investigation of prostitution control and was seeking "firsthand information," although he admitted he hadn't disclosed his plan to the police. He also claimed that when he invited the woman into the car, he thought she was looking for a ride. (Did the double meanings in this paragraph slay you?)
