This might be a sore point for the liberals campaign.
Yup, and it's bitten the Liberals in the a**. (They say they are going to buy carbon off-sets and have challenged the other campaigns to also do so.) But obviously this deal was done by the same person who stole the name for the Liberal's "green shift" from a small Toronto eco consultancy. But the 737-200 is an improvement from the 727 they used in the last campaign...which also received similar criticism. The real problem for the Liberals is they have no money and have to rely on friends to get good deals on slightly used airplanes!
