Moore hypocrisy


yes, I Sun-media-ed that title.  Sorry.
Moore is pretty concerned that “Canada" or "canadien" may be removed from an informal identifier for Radio Canada.
A new branding exercise by the French-language CBC has Heritage Minister James Moore warning that Canadians won't tolerate any move away from a pan-Canadian identity..
Selon le ministre Moore, « la grande majorité des Canadiens vont être un peu préoccupés quand on parle de diminuer la présence du mot Canada ou canadien dans l'une de nos langues officielles ». (According to Moore, « the great majority of canadians will be concerned when we talk about diminishing the presence of the word Canada or canadian in one of our official languages.)
How does Moore think they would feel if the word was removed in both official languages?  From, let's say, The Government of Canada>
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."
...Even the Treasury Board Secretariat is using the term. Treasury Board is the federal department charged with policing government communications policy, including the Federal Identity Program - which to a layman's eyes appears to forbid such off-handed personalization in government titles. Among other things, the policy states that "the criteria for creating an applied title include that it must: incorporate the word Canada or appear with the words Government of Canada. ..."
I guess Moore isn’t too concerned about that re-brand:
Harper Government Unveils Lineup for Canada Day 2013 Celebrations on Parliament Hill
OTTAWA, May 29, 2013- Today, the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, and Russell Mills, Chair of the National Capital Commission (NCC), invited all Canadians to participate in the 2013 Canada Day celebrations and announced the program for the Noon and Evening shows on Parliament Hill... (from Canadian Heritage site)
One rule for thee, another for me.  Rathgeber can relate to that today as his old CPC pals are saying he should quit and run in a by-election.  Like Emerson, Khan, and Comuzzi did.  Oh, wait.  They never did.

Moore seems to be everywhere of late, talking about the "occupy" movement and fashioning himself its spokesmodel. I saw him on CNBC blowing hard and receiving kid-gloves treatment from Carl Quintanilla. On Piers Morgan Tonight, Moore said, "How could I be in the 1 percent?" When Morgan made the statement that Moore is "worth millions," Moore responded with "No, that's not true." He went on to justify that comment by saying, "Even though I do well, I don't associate myself with those who do well." Although Morgan started off a bit confrontational, he, like most other interviewers, backed down fast. In my opinion, a lot of important issues are being brought up by the "occupiers," but overall, this protest would be better served if those speaking on its behalf were of cleaner hands and less hypocritical than Moore, who has suckled mightily at the teat of "those who do well."
