Conservatives turn a shade of green

Every political party has a colour.

Liberals are red.

The New Democrats are orange.

And until now, the Conservatives have been yellow.

For an election campaign, reporters are given luggage tags, name tags and various other pieces of ID to mark us as journalists, lest anyone forget.

And today, much to my surprise, the Conservatives are no longer yellow. They're green.

Maybe it's for St. Patricks Day. Maybe its for spring. But in any event, it's not yellow.

This is not the official party colours mind you.

The Conservatives yellow tags used to feature a big blue C.

But this time even that blue C is green.

The only colour that stands out is a red maple leaf.
