U of A is wrong to honour Suzuki

The idea that the University of Alberta would honour David Suzuki simply reflects the sorry state of Canadian universities.

His tactics in speaking to elementary schoolchildren and urging them to go home and insist to their parents that they (the parents) must take action to save the planet, echoes the approach of the Taliban.

To honour a man who would stoop so low as to use children to advance his cause — no matter what the cause — speaks volumes about the current state of the U of A. Can I “honorarily” return my degree?
