How New is New?

Anyone who keeps an eye on Canadian news releases (read: geeks like me and a few other sorry souls) will be familiar with the phrase: "Canada's New Government." It is invariably followed by Harper's plans for greatness. Recently I've been wondering when the new government smell is finally going to dissipate from the Prime Minister's Office? It has been over a year now. I'd have thought Paul Martin's photos would have been removed and Harper would have settled in. Do they get to be Canada's New Government (usually capitalized thus) for the entirety of their first term? I reckon if you're over a year into a new job you should no longer use the "sorry, I'm new around here" excuse. It'll just end up making you seem less competent

I think the Liberals should call themselves Canada's Old Government. It is technically accurate and in some parts of the world it might be considered to be a legitimate claim to power. Like Africa...
