But I agree with you... it shouldn't be an issue that moves the numbers. For the Olympics... well it depends on how much we see of the Canadian logo. That logo is great set-up for people to associate any medals we haul in to the Conservative party. That logo was brilliant politicing on their part.
Seriously? You think that Harper put in the call to HBC and 'made' them use that logo?
