MCKENNA: LYING STRAW MAN

   OTTAWA — Environment Minister Catherine McKenna's campaign against plastic straws is fodder for her Twitter critics this week after she twice posted incorrectly that local Ottawa restaurants have banned them entirely.
    McKenna, who is on a nationwide tour this summer to tout the need to reduce plastic waste, took to Twitter on Wednesday and Thursday claiming both the Feline Cafe and Bar Laurel in her Ottawa Centre riding had confirmed they were no longer providing straws.
   Josee Cyr, owner of Feline Cafe says a member of McKenna's staff contacted her to ask about the straws but McKenna's tweet posted a few hours later claimed the cafe was "straw free" when Cyr says she told the staffer straws were available upon request.
