Default Re: Happy Canada Day!!!!

David Suzuki seems to permeate the Canadian airwaves these days. Years ago I used to value his opinion but find him to be too radical these days. He continually exudes a "It's my way or the wrong way" attitude. Now, I've never been fond of politicians, however when Suzuki suggested that politicians who fail to act on global warming issues (Kyoto) should be jailed, he just lost me. I also read an article by a local reporter who asked him why two of his rather large houses in British Columbia appeared to have lights blazing in every room he responded to her with "F**k off." Now, is that how a verbally articulate, socially conscious deep thinker cultivates attention, admiration & respect? He does have a tremendous following...
But that's just my opinion - Gord's and your own may vary.
(recall that Gord mentions Suzuki in the 'NO Hotel' preamble - Gord & Suzuki below)
