Harper is at it again
A few years ago, I noted that a) Stephen Harper really likes to point at things when he knows he is being photographed, and b) the Harperites will stop at nothing in their quest for a majority government, including modifying the language in a 1984-esque fashion.
Then, it was "Canada's New Government". Now, it is "The Harper Government".
The last time I heard something this ridiculous, it was the decision to name North York's new main square "Mel Lastman Square" after none other than North York's serving mayor, Mel Lastman.
I can just imagine the conversation between Harper and his eager young lickspittles in the PMO:
Lickspittle #1: Every focus group, every survey shows it. The people love a strong leader!
Lickspittle #2: And how better to remind the little people how strong a leader they have than titling all official Canadian communications from "The Harper Government"?
Lickspittle #1: What could *possibly* go wrong? It's a slam dunk!
Harper (visibly pleased): Well, if it is what the people want...
Lickspittles #1 and #2: It is! It is!
Harper: Then who am I to deny them? I reluctantly acquiesce to this dignified piece of nation building...
And the rest is history!

Did you know he is acting now. Harper will appear on Murdock Mysteries this summer.
