U of A has lost their mind, no way no how he should be getting anything from them.

Albertans are furious over this.

He had a show on the CBC called the nature of things. Good show. He was a hippy in the 60's lots of acid I bet.

And is Alberta's public enemy NO.1.


Lives on Quadra island, really nice place that you can only get to by boat. Flys all over the place burning oil and is a big hypocrite

He pushed hard for everyone to switch over to those compact florescent light bulbs that came with mercury filled in them...what a frigen disaster those things were. Other than that he does nothing but bitch and get drunk. He sure gets lots of tax payer dollars, why I will never know and runs like hell when he sees Ezra coming to ask him some questions.

He caught got fishing without a licence up in the Yukon or the Territories a bunch of years ago. From a source I'd trust my life with as he was the co who caught em
Harps on the oil industry for being huge polluters to the environment and then drove his hummer to a 2000 buck a plate gala political fundraiser for some liberal. He's a lot like a duck. Greasy so nothing sticks to him. Ignorant to how goofy he looks in the world and he quacks. A lot.
The hell storm this is going to cause the I of A will be unbelievable. There's a ton of resource companies already dropping the funding they supplied the school. Pretty short sighted decision to pander to some left leaning students or board members who have been advocating for this for years.

As a resident duck of these hallowed halls, I resent this remark.

QMI Agency has learned that Suzuki, who's made a name for himself fighting for the environment and against development, owns four homes, including one property he co-owns with a fossil fuels company. His primary abode is a sprawling mansion in the Kitsilano neighbourhood of Vancouver, worth approximately $8.2 million.Oct 10, 2013

Probably a Saudi Oil Company?
It's actually based in the Kootenays and is an oil company (pipeline IIRC) in name only from the 60's.

He's made millions upon millions preaching an idealism that he has no intention whatsoever of following himself. Textbook hypocrite.
