I was used for opposition research! (I think)

In a video recently put out by the Liberal Party of Canada on Youtube (a very silly video I might add), Dominic LeBlanc, an MP from the Maritimes makes reference to the government's ridiculous use of the phrase of a "safer, stronger and better" Canada. When pointing to evidence of the government's use of this phrase, the MP points to (among other things) a PMO press release.

The PMO press release used by the opposition was the same press release I linked to back in February, when I commented on the government's use of the slogan, and how the slogan was poor because of how packaged (and therefore focus-grouped) it sounded.

So yes... this could've just been a coincidence, but I doubt it... since there are approximately 70 PMO releases that contain that phrase, and out of all of them, they used the one I linked to!

Who knows... it still could've been a coincidence, since I almost never update this site anymore. (but it could've been found through google, where I'm on the first page of a likely search in case someone was doing research)

In any event, even though I didn't like the video itself (because of it's absolutely mindless anti-Bush theme), I don't mind being used for research that highlights the element of this government that I can't stand the most... even more than the lack of tax relief. Actually, that's not true... the lack of tax relief is what I can't stand the most. But yes, the pre-packaged/focus grouped nature of this government drives me absolutely insane.
