I came across a discussion on a messageboard where Green Party supporters were weighing in their thoughts on above cartoon featuring their leader Elizabeth May:

I love it! Thank Camille. Where did she see it?

Not sure but here’s the link:

If I didn’t know that was supposed to be EFM, I wouldn’t recognize her. The nose is too long & pointy, the cheeks should be round (not flat). And of course, she should be smiling.

But I suppose the caricaturists will get better with practice. As proof, Harper and Layton are very recognizable above, Dion not so much.

I look forward to ‘seeing’ more of EFM in the cartoons!

p.s. And to recognize us for a non-enviro issue – yay!

Glad to see the cartoonists feel we are a worthy subject, but is the implication here that we stand for poverty? Is it that you have a choice, between an unsustainable, environmentally degraded world, or poverty? Hope not.

I thought it was pretty clearly expressing that our party is now leading the way on addressing poverty – in a comprehensive, ‘fix for a generation’ style via GAI rather than a patchwork of expensive-to-administrate programs which still leave gaps.

The timing is in relation to the policy conference we just had on that topic in BC last weekend. When was the last time a gray party, even the NDP, had a conference on how to end poverty, rather than just demand more money to expand the programs that don’t work now?

The cartoon says that EFM and the GPC are staying ahead of the grays – we were onto climate change while they ignored it, now we are also on poverty and they’ll have to catch up. We’re ahead of the curve. (Standing on the poverty island does not mean we want or will create poverty any more than standing on the climate change island implies we support climate change – in fact, the opposite).

This is a pretty amazing statement from a political cartoonist – very Green-positive, and in a way we want (breaking out of the one-issue-party meme).

Yes, I thought it should be taken that way; just wondered if anybody might read it wrong.

Please note…

This website contains satirical commentaries of current events going back several decades. Some readers may not share this sense of humour nor the opinions expressed by the artist. To understand editorial cartoons it is important to understand their effectiveness as a counterweight to power. It is presumed readers approach satire with a broad minded foundation and healthy knowledge of objective facts of the subjects depicted.
