Martha Hall Findlay's ethics complaint is a cornucopia of examples of Harper's merging of his party's brand with the government.
Perhaps I'll write more on that later. But what caught my eye was a clever use of Google's ability to search within a domain, in this case, the GC.CA domain. That's our (non-partisan) government.
The phrase of choice? "The Harper Government"
The counts in the complaint:
Oct 6: 8990
Oct 16: 9350
So, I did one for today (Oct 27): 9550
That's an average increase of over 26 incidences per day.
I think I'll keep an eye on this.
An interrogation of "It doesn’t have to be true. It just has to be plausible..." —Tom Flanagan, former Harper adviser.

Interesting. Please do keep an eye on it & update when you can.
I was watching CTV's Power Play last night (back and forth actually to CBC's new political show) and I noticed on the "ticker at the bottom" that announces news items......CTV uses the phrase Harper Government.
Maybe it was a one time thing, but I suspect it's not.
Perhaps you folks could help keep an eye on that one.
Wow, that's interesting Sandi. I can't bear to watch CTV so won't be able to watch for that. They should not be allowed to do that.
