Can those posters with longer memories than I recall whether the Liberal Govt of Paul Martin was referred to regularly as "The Martin Govt"?

Genuinely interested!

But it was Harper who started to insist on refering to the Canadian Government as the Harper Government, or more frequently "the New Harper Government".

This is partly because he's a control freak and partly because even (or especially) he knows that the rest of his Cabinet are incompetent buffoons.
