I will accept that there's been a brave attempt to suggest that “the Harper government” has now become a national symbol of Canada, at least in terms of this government's perception, and I will register my significant disagreement with that.
I will also ask this: what part of blaming new technology is acceptable in the question of linking to social networking sites?
It's not a question of technology, and the policy is not silent. The policy deals specifically with non-partisanship. What part of the technology is to blame for linking to a social networking site that isn't the government? The government sites link to Stephen Harper personal social networking sites that link to Conservative Party networking sites. It's the linking.
What part of that in fact complies with the policy?
