Rafe Mair has been giving his local MP, Federal Tory John Weston, a hard time of late for his praise of Plutonic Power/General Electric’s private power projects. The West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky representative allegedly referred to these “run of river” projects as having a relatively small ecological footprint. If it weren’t such a serious matter, this assertion would be downright comical. Speaking of comical, here, with his take is our resident cartoonist, Gerry Hummel.

About Gerry Hummel

Gerry Hummel is a political cartoonist based in Kitimat, BC. We are proud to call him the official cartoonist for this website. While working at the local paper mill and raising two children as a single-dad, Gerry began working as a self-taught editorial cartoonist for the town paper in 1993. Several years later, he and the paper got sued by a local politician for being too honest - something Gerry shares in common with certain other people at TheCanadian.org. After that, the paper restricted his artistic freedom to such an extent that he was unable to continue working with them. Naturally, he's a perfect fit for The Common Sense Canadian.
