This week’s editorial cartoon by cartoonist extraordinaire Matt Dempsey features PR person Karen White and lobbyist Michel Samson, about to give the premier’s office a green Eco make-over.

In his editorial cartoon Matt Dempsey comments on the province’s secret de-listing and potential sale of the ecologically important Owls Head Provincial Park, to turn it into a golf course and resort.

Sometimes a picture is worth a 1000 words. Nova Scotia artist Virve Whiteway created this wonderfully intricate editorial cartoon on the issues raised by Jacob Fillmore and the response by Lands and Forestry minister Chuck Porter.
