What a knob

I refer to that sanctimonious hypocrite David Suzuki.  'The Globe and Mail' has a regular feature entitled "20 Questions"; this week they interviewed perhaps the most egomaniacal phoney in the public thoroughfare. 

What is the greatest issue facing Vancouver?

"Like every city in the world -- climate change."

I have a bulletin for him:  Lil' old mankind cannot really affect climate change.  Natural warming and cooling of the earth has happened for millenia and whatever we do -- or don't -- doesn't make any difference.  Back a few centuries, they were growing wine in Scotland, it was so temperate, so car exhaust wasn't the problem. 

Least favourite holiday?

"Victoria Day."

That response is so obvious it's ridiculous.  Another bulletin:  Canada is part of the Commonwealth, of which The Queen is head, and we celebrate Victoria Day to honour our heritage.  Guess he doesn't realize in which country he resides.  Must still feel downtrodden and oppressed, poor thing.

What is Vancouver's greatest park?

"It's not a park, but it should be.  Namely, the entire shoreline."

So unrealistic it's laughable.  Someone needs to stop this guy before he corrupts more gullibles than he already has!

If, thanks to a time machine, you travelled back to 1975 and had the floor at a city council meeting, what advice would you offer?

"Give all Crown land back to Indigenous people of the area."

OMG!  I certainly hope he follows through and donates his own house and land to the Indigenous people it was "stolen" from.  And by the way, how many Indigenous people have served in the Canadian Parliament?  I can't think of one who has bothered. 

And my favourite.......

If you had $1 million to give to charity, what cause would you select?

"People working to find an alternative to capitalism."

Sorry to say "OMG" again, but OMG!  This guy's entire life has been built around capitalism.  How does he think he gets to travel around and promote climate change?  His foundation relies on capitalism and the people who make money and donate to it.  In a breathtaking admission, he said the money he was given for winning an environment award from Monaco he spent on a lavish vacation to French Polynesia!  "I decided not to give it to my foundation," he actually said, without realizing how ridiculous it was.  I guess he'd rather let other evil capitalists donate to his foundation instead. 

Can't decide if he's worse than Neil Young, or at par when it comes to hypocrisy.  Probably a toss up.  On principle, whenever 'The Nature of Things' appears on TV, I switch channels.
