The figure in the cartoon are two polar bears and Stephen Harper. The carton shows the polar bears talking about how Stephen Harper just stand's on a platform but does nothing to help global warming, and the affect that it has on polar bears, which are becoming extinct. THe cartoon takes place somewhere in the north, on icebergs. Some comparisons being made is the importance of Stephen Harper and the importance of Polar Bears. THe cartoonist was satirizing at how even though the prime minister has power and is on a platform, he has made little or no effort to help. The overall message of this cartoon is to let people be aware about how the government should do something about the climate change and it's affect on northern animals. I think the cartoon is effective, because its done in a very creative way.
I saw this picture online somewhere else. I was trying to find the words to describe it. This was helpful! Thankyou :)
