The Sun‘s Licia Corbella remembers meeting a decidedly obnoxious David Suzuki about twenty years ago.
I did, too…
(UPDATE: A kind reader corrects me: should be “consulates” in Toronto, “embassies” in Ottawa. So right.)

I saw Saint David and his huge global warming campaign bus
on the Rick Mercer show the other night.
For the love of Gaia… somebody please tell me he’s running
that bio-cidal behemoth on recycled french-fry grease.

I have a friend who was a PhD student under Suzuki quite a few years ago. He says Suzuki’s biggest problem is he figures he deserves a Nobel prize. Hasn’t been given one, so he’s bitter and trying to compensate.
Sorry to spam it up, but I think everyone should know about this. Jennifer ditchburn of the CP and her biased hit piece; She quotes a liberal attorney and a Criminologist from U of T who donated $500, five-hundred dollars to the NDP as ‘objective’ sources for information. It took me 5 minutes to find out if one of them had political affiliations, what’s Ditchburn’s excuse?

“There’s a world of difference between a strong ego, which is essential, and a big ego, which can be destructive. The guy with a strong ego knows his own strength. He is confident. But the guy with a big ego is always looking for recognition. He constantly needs to be patted on the back.”

With all the bad press suzuki and gore are getting lately, david should remember that old saying, Careful how you treat people on your way up as you may pass them on your way down.
We should also remember when the “Great Suzukifier” went salmon fishing with Miles Richardson of the Haidas he was told only four fish on federal waters but that great savior of the planet was caught with a lot more than 4 salmon. Miles tried to tell him being chief at that time, but the almighty Suzukifier wouldn’t listen, shows you what a fraud this Commie Broadcaster Corp. insestuous hack has been all along.
suzuki a twat? he’s a hermaphrodite then…. musta got some of those wronged up splicified genes in his own sorry carcass…..
I stopped watching nature of things when that skinny sinclair dude was still on it.
I went back to find suzuki yammering away and reprogrammed the remote around that channel.
what a sanctimonious 8th level black belt hypocrite this guy is.
‘which house’: the bloody OUTHOUSE with you sirrah.
What should anyone expect from a cbc prima-donna
As well he comes from a bastion of hate everthing characters at UBC. The real bad guys are the media types who give this little jerk the time of day.
Just finished an on line poll for Angus Reid. I hope all of you have signed up for these polls. Some of the questions might have a hint of what is in store if liberals ever get back into power.
Ban car driving one day a week, huge fines for driving the wrong car, limiting amt of water and time for showers/baths. fines for not recycling, should govt force cdns to pay huge fines for lots of things. Lots of questions on global warming. If you answer wrong, accordig to them, you get a message telling you so. Interesting if I get the 4.00 for filling it out. Anyone going to the Angus Reid polling questions or their site, can sign up for these surverys.
Thanks, Mary. I completed the Angus Reid global warming poll too. Then I sent Mr. Reid the following message:
“I’ve very unhappily just completed this poorly designed survey.
“It presupposes a great deal and the questions are too general. E.g., Yes, I think that pollution’s increasing [bad storms, thanks to coal fire fallout], but NOT because of “global warming”. How about the coal fires of India and China? There was no possibility of stating what one thinks the cause of some of the phenomena mentioned. How about the SUN having something to do with warming? NO WAY to register this idea at the poll.
“I’m a teacher: you get a very low mark on this one.
“P.S.This poll made me feel altogether manipulated.”
That said, I’d still urge sda types to sign up for the Angus Reid polls. Also, we should visit the Globe and Mail and CTV polls EVERY DAY: wouldn’t it be nice if more and more lefty polls went horribly wrong?
One question was: Do you or anyone in your family purchase locally grown produce to can or freeze for future use. I answered mostly never to a lot of the questions. Guess we are supposed to spend several minutes/day going around turning off all appliances of any kind when not in use. Sorry, I leave my computer etc on as it takes time to start up. So many stupid questions, but at least I have an idea of questions relating to poll results.
Mary T.: Personally I’m shocked. Don’t you know that the electrity drain caused by the clock on your microwave is going to accelerate global warming to the point that we’re ALL going to die?
/sarcasm off
Heh. Reminds me of my great-grandma in Scotland. When I was a little boy, I asked her why she had tape on the electrical outlets in her home. She responded by saying that she didn’t want the electricity to “leak out onto the floor” and electrocute someone. Funny. She was about as lucid as some of the current climate change “chicken littles”.
I really do think we should not waste energy resources. We live much better and healthier lifes because of energy. Think caveman.
Why drive Hummers?
Why 2 people in 6000 sq ft homes?
Why 10,000 so-called “delegates” travelling by jet for weekend conferenced half way around the world? United Nations, Nairobi.
Why buses carrying a fanatic and 6 others in a 54 passanger ? Across Canada, on a “green” mission, no less.
Only downer of a drastic reduction in energy consumption,.. most pension plans would fall flat on their face. Including Greenpeace’s, I suspect.
Well, what I want to know from Lucia and Kathy is
“What you you REALLY think of Suzuki.
Horny Toad
The answer’s obvious: give Suzuki the Nobel prize he’s obviously angling for, appoint him UN High Commissioner For Some Worthy Thing Or Other, give him all the merit badges he can pin on himself every morning, and he’ll go away to some left wing think tank or university where he’ll never bore anyone again except maybe your poor kids if you send them to a bad university.
Suzuki wouldn’t be happy with the Nobel Prize.
He won’t tell anyone, but he wants to be God, or thinks he is.
After all, this world belongs to him, right?
What a fool he is.
I hope lots of posters sent Lisa copies of suzukis poll and how to access it. I have heard nothing in any media or print about it. Lisa would tell the world, I bet, and so would Lorrie Goldstein.
tech tip re mary t:
absolutely on that.
its called standby mode in XP.
also, power saving options if Im out and forgot to standby or had something chugging away.
absoLUTEly.
my system takes a month of sundays to boot up Ive got so much anti this-and-that to wade thru on power up. so I usually only do it once a day.
gawd there are countless way we can conserve energy. the local rag did an ‘expose’ on public buildings and schools with lights ablaze in the middle of the night. hey, theyre called MOTION SENSORS. you can even set the sensitivity and duration.
So has anyone ever done any research into just what properties fruitfly owns? What vehicles he drives etc. It would be interesting to know how many homes he owns and how large they are. Ditto for Dion.
I didn’t think stand by counted as it still uses energy, also my battery back up. That is why I answered no.
Just wondering, can I get carbon credits as my business is shut down due to the computer problem at Rev Canada. All those returns on my computer and no where to send them, so guess I will use snail mail.
Only in Canada, you say?
Why is it that in oh-so-nice and oh-so-tolerant Canada so many of our “public figures,” like Comrade David Kooki Suzuki, I’m-Peter-Mansbridge-and-You’re-Not Mansbridge, Margaret Mona-Lisa-Smile/Never-Open-My-Lips-to-Talk Atwood are such NOT nice folks?
Methinks a giant projection is going on.
“I’m not nice,” say they, “and why should I be? I’ve got money and houses and fame and up-to-now the Librano$ as my cheerleaders and bottomless money source–why should I be nice to the plebs, who hang [presumably] on my every word? Let THEM eat cake, turn off THEIR electricity, ration THEIR resources, sacrifice so that WONDERFUL I can live in the way I have grown accustomed to. Let THEM be nice, because that’s what a GOOD CANADIAN should be. I’m beyond that.”
Good G*d. Holy Rolling Thunder.
I also understand from friends who worked in the same university environment as Professor Suzuki that when the fruit flies didn’t perform the way he thought they should, that is, according to his hypothesis, he disregarded the data.
It seems to me that only in oh-so-nice and oh-so-tolerant socialist/nanny state Canada could such a pipsqueak rise to such heights and such power.
For some reason, the comment I posted less than a minute ago is being held by the filter.
Was it my saying “Holy Rolling Thunder”?
Or that Comrade Suzuki really isn’t “nice”?
Hmmm…
Actually, I think he is pissed that two of his CBC compatriates – Clarkson and Jean – were named GG before he was.
BATB: It is probably that you are posting earlier than most red-blooded Canucks start to hit the snooze button. I never try to figure out the filter here… makes my head hurt.
All this energy conservation thing is starting to anoy me. I’ll be damned if some simple servant is going to measure my living space and tell me I cannot live in a 900 sq ft home or have 2.1 vehicles in the driveway. They have a word for that: communism.
The only reason I shouldn’t be living in Al Gore’s house is because I can’t afford the expenses, period. Same with the Hummer. If I can afford to buy all that energy then the government and energy companies can afford to do the research into more efficient methods or alternates from all the royalty, taxes and profits they are raking in. If I can save a buck or two by using something else then I will. The theory is called economics. Joe & Jane Canuck need something tangible in their hands not the warm fuzzy feeling that buying carbon credits from India is somehow going to save the world.
Wow, that isway too much thinking for this time of day. Pass the coffee, please.
“Actually, I think he is pissed that two of his CBC compatriates – Clarkson and Jean – were named GG before he was.”
Thanks, AG, we now know who the next GG will be!
Unless, of course, Canadians surprise the hell outta me and DON’T vote Liberal next election.
The witch doctor, with his voodoo science and economics is a mean small-minded, curmudgeonly (proudly spreading horror and nastiness) creep. Seems to be the case for leftoids.
On a clip promoting This Hour/Strombonopoulis (or whatever) he said Harper has his head so far up Bush’s ass…(didn’t catch the rest)
Suzuki is not an environmentalist, he’s a political terrorist.
Love to confront the fruit fly on the street. Even more so, in front of an audience.

I saw this SAZUKI yo yo on some stupid documentry called PLANET FOR THE TAKING which was produced by the SIERRA CLUB just how many trees did they cut down to provide the home he and the other eco-wackos live in?
