Recently Green Party leader Elizabeth May was roundly castigated for comparing those who question the scientific basis of the environmentalist crusade to those who tried to appease the Nazis prior to World War II. Well, thanks to recent comments by May’s fellow-traveler David Suzuki, we now get a chance to see who the real Nazi appeaser is.
To the applause of an audience of fellow eco-fascists at McGill University, Suzuki stated that politicians who fail to take action to protect the environment should be jailed. Is the science behind green politics so weak that dissenters must be incarcerated for it to succeed? To the list of communism and fascism do we now add environmentalism as being among those failed philosophies which cannot persuade and so must rely on brute force to achieve political influence?
So Ms. May, now you have a chance for either a measure of redemption - or to reveal yourself to be the biggest hypocrite on the Canadian political scene. Do you forthrightly condemn Suzuki’s totalitarian rant or is it really you who is the Nazi appeaser?
