An interesting study on Canada's climate change policy, that passes the sniff test: On the eve of major UN climate change talks next month in Copenhagen, a major survey of Canadians has found that more than three quarters of the public feel embarrassed that the country hasn't been taking a leadership role on reducing greenhouse-gas emissions. The finding that most Canadians are dismayed over the country's...

Edgar Cowan's neighbor at the table, an attractive younger woman, seems unsure of this apparent old hippie. But the old hippie is kind of fun - does not want to be thrown to the lions! Pam Astbury, the attractive younger woman, has gone out of her way, she claims, because of her commitment to high-quality television. And yikes! Another digital television conversion fretter! The Pope reports that she...

The National Post has some interesting speculation going on as to who should be the final runner (and therefore the lighter of the Olympic flame) during the 2010 Winter Olympics. Just one thing about the Post’s lists of candidates: I wouldn’t regard them as inspiring as Muhammad Ali. (Pamela Anderson? David Suzuki?! They inspire a [...]

The cbc's leftist pro liberal bias rolls right along. The cbc is asking Tory bashing , chicken little david suzuki to host a cbc program. This is a man whose foundation had hundreds of complaints about his anti Tory bias reported to revenue Canada. Why do we find this biased organization? Why would the liberal cheerleaders at the cbc be surprised that HM Minister of the Environment doesn't want to...

As a keen supporter of the environment myself, one of the biggest problems with the environmental movement is a tendency to exaggerate. One of the worst examples of this right now surrounds Project Karsei, an expedition to the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" or the "Pacific Trash Vortex," the uncritical reporting of which tends to be riddled with questionable science and statistics....

As the most middle-of-the-road federal cabinet minister, Jim Prentice was never apprehensive about appearing on CBC. But the environment minister turned down an invitation to appear Friday morning on CBC radio's flagship show The Current for a very good reason: a hostile host. That would be David Suzuki, the wildly successful environmental crusader and perennial alarm-ringer, who has seen the end...

As the climate change debate ramps up here in America, I've heard quite a bit of coverage of opponents of progress whining about how solving climate change is going to wreck the economy. So, they say, we can't take action. That's like saying that since treating your cancer is going to drain your bank account, it's better to just do nothing about it. We know what the outcome of that decision would be...

There is information here about Al Gore and David Suzuki everyone really needs to know. For example, Gore will not appear on TV unless his three hundred thousand dollar fee is met, that all questions are scripted in advance, and no questions are asked that he cannot answer. That is just a sample. Watch it. Very [...]

Here. I think my favorite response is: If you could choose anyone, from any walk of life, to be Prime Minister, who would you choose? > I nominate David Suzuki to be the ruler of Iran. Send Maude Barlow with him. I thoroughly endorse it.
