CBC subliminal message?

I zoomed in on an icon that leads to an editorial cartoons section of the CBC website. That’s an interesting cropping job that the website editors have done.

We all know the fallacy that rabid partisan left-wingers associate with their political opponents.

By the way, here is the whole cartoon:
