David Suzuki
Posted in Miscellaneous on January 5th 2003 by Randy ReichardtDavid Suzuki will be on campus at the U of Alberta on Thursday, Jan 9. His talk is part of The Revolutionary Speakers Series. Last year in September, Ralph Nader spoke to a packed house about the environment, government, and citizens’ civic responsibilities to get involved. My guess is that Suzuki will be addressing the Kyoto Accord, which our provincial government has done everything it can to discredit and slam. It fascinates me one of our premier’s favorite sayings is “short term pain for long term gain”, yet when such pain might affect his oil baron buddies, it doesn’t apply. I’m looking forward to Suzuki’s lecture. I have seen him speak twice before, once in the late 60s when I skipped high school to watch him at the U of Manitoba.
School begins tomorrow, and I have lectures to deliver in various engineering design and report writing courses. January is always our heaviest month on campus.
