HARPER WEB PAGES DELETED FROM SEARCH RESULTS

The Liberal government has had dozens of web pages from Stephen Harper’s days as prime minister deleted from Google search results. The Privy Council Office requests for deletion from Google began Nov. 4, the day the Trudeau government took office, and continued into January. Documents tabled in the House in response to a written question from Conservative MP Candice Bergen de- tail the deletion requests. The PCO says the material was neither deleted nor destroyed and remains available through Library and Archives Canada. The search result requests cover Harper’s posts and his 24-Seven video diary as well as news releases in both French and English. In all, the PCO asked Google 51 times to remove Harper material from its search results.
