SUZUKI WILL BE HONOURED

U of A’s integrity at stake: Turpin

It would be a “Silent Spring ” today if Rachel Carson hadn’t spoken out on the long-term effects of DDT. She paid dearly for her prophetic role.

History repeats itself today in Alberta as the oilsands industry tries to silence David Suzuki. The “fundamental values” of Alberta are surely not to destroy the environment.

Honouring Suzuki shows that the University of Alberta supports a different brand of fundamental values, those that will benefit all Albertans, the rest of Canada, the world and future generations. Cecily Mills, PhD Microbiology, U of A, Edmonton
