Here for Canada* (*except in Quebec)

As anyone even closely following this election knows by now, the campaign slogan for the Conservatives is "Here for Canada."

Simple, patriotic, pithy -- it's all things parties look for in slogans.

It even translates nicely into French: "Ici Pour le Canada."

But Veterans Affairs Minister Jean-Pierre Blackburn is among those who has a different take on his party's "Here for Canada" campaign slogan.

His riding of Jonquiere-Alma is in the middle of the Saguenay -- a region of Quebec considered the heartland of the sovereignty movement.

A place where many people aren't looking for someone who's "Here for Canada". So Conservative campaign signs in Saguenay  make no mention of the possibly offending word "Canada" -- instead the slogan here is "Notre Region au Pouvoir" (Our Region in Power).

Downplaying Federalism seems to work for the party in this part of the country -- where the Conservatives hold two of the three seats.

UPDATE: Turns out Notre Region en Pouvoir is the slogan across the province -- not just in Saguenay.
