In America you can pretty much guarantee that if the bill has a name that makes it sound like it is good for you...it will definitely be bad for you.

Here in the USA, too. Bills have designation, HR1981 in this case. But that doesn't stop politicians and the press for looking for cute turns of phrase or sound bites.

Canadian bills get named, like in the recent case of C-51, also known as "Lawful Access". If that isn't an attempt to frame the conversation, I don't know what is. More about Lawful Access here:
