I normally don't condone concentration camps...

Still, Neil should at least be spared.

David Suzuki is a con artist.

I love Neil Young, I have ever since his "After the Gold Rush" album came out in 1970. But, as his good friend Linda Ronstadt advised a pal getting involved with Neil "Stay away from Neil. He doesn't live in the real world" (paraphrased from Neil's own book Waging Heavy Peace)

Never heard of Feist.

Margaret Atwood is over-rated. Her stuff is practically unreadable.

Artists should really stay away from trying to MAKE policy, as most of them don't live in the real world..

Here is a Canadian who is honoured around the world and all over the world and the best we can do is call him a con artist???

The award was presented to Dr. Suzuki on February 3 by Canadian literary icon Margaret Atwood, a long-time friend of Dr. Suzuki and an honorary Board member of the David Suzuki Foundation.
Mayor Gregor Robertson attended the award ceremony and read a proclamation in Dr. Suzuki’s honour.
"David Suzuki is a trailblazer and it is an honour to recognize him with the prestigious George Woodcock Lifetime Achievement Award," said Mayor Robertson. "Dr. Suzuki has transformed the way we view our planet and ourselves. His books will continue to inspire, inform and educate people for many years to come."

Northern Ontario,
He must be older than he says he is.....Just scanning through one of his acceptance speeches, his mention of not having transoceanic phone calls when he was young.....the first transatlantic phone call was in 1927.......
But his followers will believe anything he says .......
