Political satire

ecoFRAUD.ca

A self-described Montreal student, communications consultant and "active member" of the Liberal party (a Marc Gendron, according to his email address) has created ecoFRAUD, a web site parodying the Conservative's ecoACTION site and its plan to fight global warming. In the same eco-friendly green and white layout as the official site, ecoFRAUD satirizes the Conservative' plan as a hollow PR excercise, with Onion-like precision. The ecoACTION slogan is rewritten as "Sounding better - Doing less" and the title of the government's plan (Turning the Corner) recast as Turning our Back. One dig that seems almost too close to reality to be parody: the recurring references to "Canada's New Government."
