David Suzuki leads Victoria marchers carrying “RCMP Pigs” and “All Cops Are Bastards” signs

This is a small anecdote but something that’s always stuck with me. Years ago I was waiting to merge into traffic from a mall in Halifax. Not very memorable you’d think. But by some weird magic I recognized the cyclist whizzing past me. “That looked like David Suzuki!” I said to myself. And, yes, there was a very brief moment when I could have floored it and changed the course of Canadian history. Ah well. What might have been. (I looked it up. He was in town for some stupid conference. ‘Twas him, oh yes.)

My point is that how and why on Earth did I recognize him? He was just some middle-aged guy on a bike and I was barely paying attention. I had a similar experience on a very early morning with Pierre Burton, (don’t bother looking him up), but he always dresses up like Pierre Burton so that’s more understandable. My theory is that certain celebrities and/or narcissists have an ability to project. Even if they aren’t interesting looking or anything. (David Suzuki is not interesting looking.)

Dr Suzuki, I’m sorry you were interned as a child. It wasn’t right and it shouldn’t have happened. I also agree with you about farmed salmon, although not with your unhinged temper tantrums. But dood. Get over it.

Anyway, here’s what Dave’s been up to lately.
