I guess after reading Lawrence Martin’s Harperland, I had to know something like this would come next. This goes beyond the Stevie Spiteful vision of the neo-con Utopia for Canada. Low and behold, this utopia would be the kingdom of Stevie.
And lest anyone forgets, a directive went out to public servants late last year that “Government of Canada” in federal communications should be replaced by the words “Harper Government.”
Indeed, and don’t forget to call him “Sir”!
Well, Canada is now being touted as “Harperstan” by some on Twitter. Let’s add some other branding Tweaks, courtesy of @pmoharper (a fake account, needless to say) on Twitter.
Harper’s Food Guide
Montreal Harperians
Harper Cup
Somebody else from Twitter (forget who) had mentioned that now we think about it, King Stevie did have an ulterior motive for changing the words to our National Anthem. I think their title was, “Oh Harperstan!”
Hell, let’s add a few others!
Disservice Harper
HPP–Harper Privatized Pension
HST–(ok, obvious, lacks creativity…) Harper Sales Tax
RHCP–Royal Harper Con Police
Harper’s ‘Ethical Oil’ (Sorry, Ezzy, Peter Kent stole it for master, hope you don’t mind?)–Also formerly known as Environment Canada
Harper Institute–(would be) Formerly known as the MacDonald Laurier Institute replacing StatsCan
Harper’s Heroes–Formerly known as the Canadian Military
Harper Health Act
Oh, and what rebranding would be complete without a brand new flag?
And a Harper salute!
If anyone has anything else to add, feel free to add them in comments.

Such a small change tells you so much. And the Prime Minister claims that Michael Ignatieff is “in it for himself.”

Thank you for the giggles on a truly disturbing development. This man is no longer fit to govern this country.
