Excellent article from January 2008 about Elaine Dewar's "Cloak of Green", 1995 non-fiction work on the 'greens' [ I found a copy of this book at the Mount Allison University library about 10 years ago and it had not been checked out since the mid 1990s when it was published. . . imagine that?]:
Cloak of Green by Elaine DeWar – Canadian Truths (wordpress.com)
Book Description
Most concerned citizens trust environmental groups to fight on behalf of the public for sensible solutions to the world’s most pressing problems. But Elaine Dewar discovered that this trust is often misplaced.
In this book the award-winning journalist explores links between key environmental groups, government and big business. Written like a mystery, Cloak of Green follows the author from a Toronto fundraiser for the Kayapo Indians of Brazil to the Amazon rainforest and the global backrooms of Brasilia, Washington and Geneva. Along the way she meets some fascinating people–Anita Roddick of the Body Shop, businessman-politican Maurice Strong, and activists who run key Canadian and American environmental groups. She discovers some disturbing revelations about these groups and their relations to “green” corporations and government.
Cloak of Green is a penetrating investigative study that challenges many established pieties of the environmental movement.

Megan Mitton Green MLA was programmed for her cult at McGill University... she is a good 'dog'.
The green cult certainly has a very strong grip on this small university town.
