QUEBEC — It’s safe to say Pierre Karl Péladeau isn’t humming Blondie’s “Call Me” in front of journalists these days.
The media magnate has torn a strip off a reporter who tracked him down on his cellphone.
The would-be candidate for the Parti Québécois leadership said Montreal La Presse journalist Denis Lessard was out of order when he called him on his mobile.

Péladeau said Wednesday Lessard has been around for about 30 years, and should know that press attaches are the correct channel to go through if they want to contact him.
He also criticized journalists for trying to speak to him in stairways at the national assembly.
The PQ member of the legislature said last month he doesn’t have to answer reporters’ questions, indicating he prefers Facebook as a means of communication.
