Blue Windows Revealed at Confederation Buildings

Confederation Building is getting a face lift...and it's Tory blue. A portion of the Allandale Road side of the East Block has been under renovation for some time now, obscured by a huge tarp and now that it has been completed, the familar green coloured windows have been replaced with blue ones. It's one of many blue changes by government, including the license plate and highway signage.

As editorial topics go, the province's new branding strategy is a sitting duck.

Workers have been erecting the main stage for festivities this week on Parliament Hill. By yesterday, it was evident the favoured hue seems to have definitely shifted from red – which also happens to be the colour of the Liberal party, the Conservatives' arch-rivals.

The huge stage, similar to the kind seen at big outdoor rock concerts, is solid blue, as is the large overhang.

Bruce Cheadle, Canadian Press, September 21, 2009:

The Conservative government is spending more than five times as many taxpayer dollars on promoting its economic plan as it is on raising public awareness about the flu pandemic.

All the ads direct viewers to a Tory-blue government web site that includes more than 40 different photos of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and refers repeatedly to "the Harper government" -- apparently in direct contravention of Treasury Board communications policy.
