Frankly I think this comes as a breath of fresh air. David Suzuki is an environmentalist, not a chemist. Obviously he has no idea how pesticides (which I might add are chemicals, not environments) work and anything he says on the topic is basically junk science because it's out of his expertise and he's basically just making things up. As for Al Gore, he doesn't even live in this country, let alone this province. Taking his word on anything is pretty much treason, any way you cut it.
Wells should also be congratulated for reminding us of the last time society got all up in arms about pesticides and the damage it caused. Remember DDT? Yeah, while society was patting itself on the back for saving some eggshells by banning DDT we were actually killing black people. And for what? Because it might be harmful?
Well I'll give you the what for: This Wikipedia article states, and I quote:
The EPA, in 1987 , classified DDT as class B2, a probable human carcinogen based on "Observation of tumors (generally of the liver) in seven studies in various mouse strains and three studies in rats.
You see? Probable. Somehow, pseudoscientists like David Suzuki concluded that people might get cancer based on the deaths of some rats, and even then they can't even say anything with full certainty. Plus, that information comes from Wikipedia, which is totally untrustworthy in every conceivable way and in light of that we can safely say DDT probably doesn't cause cancer at any time to anyone ever. Case closed.
It's shocking to see how many people apparently believe scientists like David Suzuki over politicians like Andy Wells. And it's not even like this is Wells' first term. The man has been consistently re-elected to the office of mayor as far back as anyone who matters can remember. Clearly, if he was unfit for the job or wrong in any conceivable way he wouldn't keep getting re-elected, because that sort of thing never happens. Right?

good one!
David Suzuki must have had good contacts - almost four decades ago was handed a lifelong contract with the Ceeb to moan about how human beings are bad for the planet. I hate that idiot and everything he stands for. The DS Foundation rakes in millions, and he is idolized by useless brain-dead hippies and guilty liberals nationwide. I wish everyone on our planet could read this one little essay, as well as the masses of other material finally fighting back against the anti-human environmental movement that we have suffered under for so long: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/9deb730a-19ca-11dc-99c5-000b5df10621.html. BTW, I am from the Prairies and live in Vancouver; lucky you for having such a great and wise mayor, nobody like that could survive in politics out this way!
good one!
