Echo

How often a slogan or phrase repeats across Canadian news coverage, and which words the corpus cannot stop using. Counts of usage, never of merit — a phrase that echoes is not a phrase that is true. Slogan counts cover the last 13 weeks; word counts cover the last 30 days.

Counts as of Oct 21 · refreshed daily.

A slogan is counted when the phrase appears in an article (stopword-tolerant, adjacency-based full-text match — not a raw substring search). "Associated with" is an editorial label naming who commonly uses the phrase, not something derived from the query. The lifecycle bars are real weekly counts, oldest to newest, within the 13-week window this page searches — "first seen" means first seen in THAT window, not first ever said.

Across the 6 tracked terms, counted the same way as the slogans above. A mention is a mention: a story about a tariff and a story against one both count once.

What this page will not say

It will not say a slogan is effective, honest or good — it reports how often the phrase appears and by whom it is commonly used. A phrase repeated by many outlets may be quotable, may be false and need rebutting, or may just be what happened that day; this page cannot tell those apart. It also cannot tell you who first said a phrase repeated it verbatim versus paraphrased it — a text match either found the phrase or it didn't.
