Macleans<\/span> had some fun <\/a>with google<\/span> site search to find out what topics got the most play on Stephen Harper’s website <\/a>over the past year. For those keeping track, the environment narrowly edged out crime, taxes, accountability, health care, child care, and, in a bit of a surprise, “dancing with the stars”.<\/p>\n

So, I figured I’d run my site through the machine and see what I’ve been blogging about.<\/p>\n

-Not only does he win the hamburger poll <\/a>and the golfing poll<\/a>, but Stephen Harper tops the equally scientific Calgary Grit poll with 1440 references. That leaves him miles ahead of Jack Layton (215), Stephane<\/span> Dion (95), and Gilles Duceppe<\/span> (65).<\/p>\n

-Among Liberals, Dion is edged out by Joe Volpe<\/span> (180), Gerard Kennedy (1380), and Michael Ignatieff<\/span> (175). Hot on his heels are Jean Lapierre<\/span> (83) and Garth Turner (42). [note: Unlike Garth Turner’s blog where the only <\/em>thing Garth Turner has ever talked about is Garth Turner].<\/p>\n

-Much like Stephen Harper, I don’t have a lot of time for Harper Cabinet Ministers. Peter Mackay<\/span> (83) and Rona Ambrose gets decent ink (48), while Jim Flaherty<\/span> (19), Lawrence Cannon (22), and Gordon O’Connor (19) have earned a bit of my time. But Maxime<\/span> Bernier<\/span> (9), Carole Skelton<\/span> (1), and Jean-Pierre Blackburn (1) haven’t exactly been setting the blogosphere<\/span> on fire.<\/p>\n

-I am, of course, always ready to blog about the important issues of the day, such as the Shane Doan<\/span> kerflufle<\/span> (4), Stephen Harper’s stylist (11), and Jack Layton’s “big ass” comments (4). [note: in fairness, “big ass” comments on this blog could be in reference to a lot of things including, ironically enough, Jack himself]<\/p>\n

-On the historical side, Joe Clark (98) beats Pierre Trudeau (63). However, Justin Trudeau (38) does best Ben Mulroney (15).<\/p>\n

-On a lighter note, Britney Spears drew 5 mentions, Paris Hilton got 6, and Prince Harry got 4. Lindsay Lohan<\/span> has never been mentioned on this blog (…until now).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
