Canadian Greens Politician Busted In Keep Cup Photoshop Fail

Canadian Greens Politician Busted In Keep Cup Photoshop Fail

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau isn’t the only Canadian politician to find themselves embroiled in a photo scandal in the lead up to next month’s election, although the Green Party’s Elizabeth May has taken a very different tact.

The leader of the party has admitted the photo [feature image] was doctored, although she claims it was done so without her knowledge.

The original image shows May smiling while she holds what appears to be a paper cup. However, the image was then edited to show the political leader showing a reusable plastic cup, complete with the Party’s logo and a metal straw.

Despite being caught up in the embarrassing gaffe, May claims the cup she was holding in the original photo was, in fact, a compostable disposable cup.

“My personal daily practice is to avoid single use plastic items 100 per cent of the time,” May said in a statement.

“I walk the talk every day. I hope that despite this misstep by well-meaning party staff (who hoped to brand the image with our logo), people can believe that in the original photo there is nothing I would have hidden,” she added.
