1. We want a Valerie Harper Government! 
The current governing party of Canada has issued a directive that reference to "Government of Canada" should be replaced by "Harper Government" in federal communications.
In changing the long-standing terminology "Government of Canada", the current governing party is seeking to equate its leader, Stephen Harper, with the act of governing this country. (Taken from "I Am (Not Stephen Harper's) Canadian" petition.)

2. Say "No" to the Newly branded Harper Governemnt
First it was the "Government of Canada." Then it was "Canada's New Government." Now it's the "Harper Government."
Public servants from four different departments have confirmed to The Canadian Press that they received a directive late last year that the words "Government of Canada" in federal communications be replaced with "Harper Government."
3. I Am (Not Stephen Harper's) Canadian
The current governing party of Canada has issued a directive that reference to "Government of Canada" should be replaced by "Harper Government" in federal communications.
In changing the long-standing terminology "Government of Canada", the current governing party is seeking to equate its leader, Stephen Harper, with the the act of governing this country.
As a democracy, Canada is not run by one individual. It is a country run by an elected body, which is accountable to the people and answerable to the opposition.
In the words of Abraham Lincoln, "Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people."
The government of Canada is not Stephen Harper and Stephen Harper is not the government of Canada.
The government of Canada is the people and the people are the government of Canada.
One collective body, not one man, forms this government and make this country a beautiful place.

Contexte :
Le Parti conservateur, parti actuellement au pouvoir au Canada, a émis une directive voulant que toute référence au « Gouvernement du Canada » dans les communiqués issus des ministères soit remplacée par « Gouvernement Harper ».
En remplaçant l’appellation traditionnelle « Gouvernement du Canada », le parti au pouvoir tente de mettre de l’avant son leader, Stephen Harper, comme le centre de l’activité gouvernementale.
En tant que démocratie, le Canada n’est pas dirigé par une seule personne, mais plutôt par un parti élu par le peuple, lequel est tenu de rendre compte à la population canadienne ainsi qu’à l’opposition.
Pour reprendre les termes du président américain Abraham Lincoln, « La démocratie, c’est le gouvernement du peuple, par le peuple, pour le peuple ».
Le gouvernement du Canada n’est pas le gouvernement de Stephen Harper et Stephen Harper n’est pas le gouvernement du Canada.
Le gouvernement du Canada, c’est le gouvernement du peuple, et le peuple est le gouvernement du Canada.
Ce gouvernement est constitué d’un regroupement de personnes élues; il ne repose pas sur un seul homme, ce qui fait du Canada un merveilleux endroit où il fait bon vivre.
4. Return the Death Penalty for Police Killers
With the Murder of Metro Toronto Police Sgt. Ryan Russell on Wednesday January 12, 2011 and the March 3, 2005 Murder of 4 RCMP Officers in Mayerthorpe, Alberta, it is well-past time to reinstate the Death Penalty in Canada for those convicted of Murder or Manslaughter of any on-duty Police Officer.
