Three millennia later, Canadian Green Party leader Elizabeth May was having a drink from a disposable cup when she was photographed. This was a problem for her 2019 election campaign. For a few days, the Greens’ ridiculous self-own and own-goal of a pseudo-scandal was the temporary focus of a general election campaign that never actually found a permanent one. As a result, an election about Justin Trudeau’s political corruption morphed into an election about his history of blackface, then kept on morphing. Would we make it to election day with an actual sense of purpose or direction?
