So basically, it's a success to spend $175,000 on an advertising campaign that doesn't work?

Truly, the days of Hold Muh Beer in the Canadian government.

The flag of Canada...before the trouble started.

Evidently the marketing objective was not to promote their product, communicate with the customer, or increase revenue. Only in the government...

I suppose it depends on your definition of success. Obviously this was not defined as increased sales but rather taking one more whack at all things Christian.

From that definition it was a raging success!

The important thing in modern Pagan America is to
Not Offend The Pagans...
Now the religious majority....go ahead and offend...they pay but dont count...because they dont stand up...
Pagans on the other hand...wear a glove

Canada sold off most of its gold reserves over the past few years, at the bottom of the market, and last week they sold 20% of the small amount that was left. First thing you know they'll have to start buying gold from the Canadian miners if they want to mint any more gold coins.

That's a bargain... The Canadian government has spent C$1,000,000,000 on a firearms registry scheme which is an utter failure.

Ivan, it takes a certain Puckish sense of humour to adopt a beer can label as the national flag.

Using the same criterion, the gun registry was a resounding success. Projected cost $2 million, actual cost over $1 billion and rising.

Thanks for the informative posts.
