I don't have a problem with providing information about changes to Government Policy/Procedure. As long as Party is not mentioned, Politicians are not credited with it, or photos of Politicians are not included.
This debate always comes up, regardless of who's in power.
Every party accuses the governing party of pushing their message....but when you're the government and you're making policy, that's kinda how it works. You can't have all sorts of programs that people don't know about.
Yup. I like the Government of Canada Ads because they do keep people informed of policy and available programs. They seem kind of odd if you spend sometime in the US and watch TV there. Mainly because there's only some Military recruitment Ads, anti-drug, or some other PSA about some issue that are Government sourced. The only source there for such information are News outlets and those are usually presented as the best thing ever and/or opening the floodgates of Hell depending on the source and/or who supported the policy/program.
In contrast, the Government of Canada Ads simply inform people of things they may be interested in or benefit from, with the only spin being that they are presented optimistically. Whether people should be pleased or not is another issue, but at least people are aware of what is available at any given time. If there's a better policy/program that could replace it, that's something that can be presented during Election Campaigns by the various Parties.
