In today’s paper, the Edmonton Sun published the answers from party leaders to 20 questions about how environmentally friendly they live. Not too surprisingly, Stephen Harper declined to participate (“my stylist never picks out make-up which has been tested on animals“).
While Jack Layton and Stephane Dion certainly appear to be living environmentally friendly lives, Elizabeth May is in an ecosystem of her own. Consider the following:
-She doesn’t own a car or a bicycle…she tricycles
-She owned a pony as a child [not relevant, but I keep thinking of this]
-Her household does not flush the toilet “unless necessary“
-toilet paper is the only paper product she buys
-She buys second-hand clothes
-Her daughter “rejected the offer of a new TV for Christmas because, even though ours was broken, she insisted we try to get it fixed to avoid an unwanted landfill item.”
Speaking of May, Jane Taber may have set a record for most anonymous Liberal sources ever used in an article, in today’s piece criticizing the Dion-May pact.
