How long before ‘New Government’ gets old?
It's seems I'm not the only one curious about the 'new government' label:
How long before ‘New Government’ gets old?
Tories hang on to fresh label
National Post

No matter how old it gets, Canada’s New Government — always capitalized — seems to be everywhere. It is the government’s ubiquitous slogan in Conservative press releases, on the lips of Cabinet ministers , even on the coun t r y ’s supposedly non-partisan official Web site.
Even this week, with the oneyear anniversary of his election, Prime Minister Stephen Harper read out a grocery list of accomplishments that made it sound as if his party had been in power for eons — all the while referring to the Conservatives as Canada’s New Government.
For anyone who thought being in power for a year might convince them to shelve their slogan, all the evidence is to the contrary.

It's almost as bad as the TJ repeatingly refering to the PCs as Conservatives only. What ever happened to the "Progressive" part of the name. So if they don't refer to the NDP as the Democratic party, than I suppose it is in bad taste to refer to the tories as the "new" Conservative gov't per se. But let's not be biased in reference.
