It has been made public by CBC news that a directive has been given by the PMO to public servants to use the works "Harper Government" on all communications in place of the words, "Canadian Government".
When a Bloc MP tried to query this in the Friday Parliamentary Question Period, she was blocked by the Speaker of the House because MP`s cannot be named and must be referred to by the riding they represent. She tried to rectify her error by referring to `Harper` as the `H - word`.
So, we now have added one more to our list of unspeakable words: `the f - word`, the `n - word` and now the `H - word`.
I don`t much like the sound of the `H - word Government`. I would much prefer to follow the example of TAFKAP (The Artist Formerly Known As Prince).
The `Government formerly known as Canadian` has a much nicer ring to it.
