By chance, I noticed that a recent press release on the Conservative Party website is identical to one published on the Government of Canada's Office of the Prime Minister's site.
Conservative website: 2010: An international year for Canada
Government website: 2010: An international year for Canada
Both claim copyright, and neither attribute the other.
The government website requires in materials reproduced that "...The Office of the Prime Minister be identified as the source department."
The Conservative website has a boilerplate copyright notice.
So, who wrote the release? The government or the Conservative Party?
Somehow, I doubt the Conservatives are subsidizing the government. More likely it's the other way around.
Perhaps this issue can be raised in the House? Oh, right... prorogued...
An interrogation of "It doesn’t have to be true. It just has to be plausible..." —Tom Flanagan, former Harper adviser.
