OTTAWA – Call it the case of the missing mug shots.
Despite adamant government claims to the contrary, dozens of photos of Prime Minister Stephen Harper have vanished from the taxpayer-funded website that promotes the Conservative economic plan.
The photos disappeared after The Canadian Press questioned the government about complaints of partisanship in federal advertising, including a website plastered with Harper photos.
"We have not removed any pictures of the PM," a Privy Council Office spokeswoman insisted late Monday.
A spokesman for the prime minister made the same assertion.
After being presented with a cached image of the www.actionplan.gc.ca site from last week which featured over 40 photos of Harper, the government did not respond to further inquiries on the matter Tuesday.http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/699322== ==
