His comment was made at an <em>Extinction Rebellion<\/em> protest in Victoria, Vancouver Island (entitled &#8220;<em>A funeral for the future<\/em>&#8220;). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our world, we have passionate environmentalists, thank Goodness. Indeed, thanks to them for pushing for a greener environment. However, when a passion reaches extreme levels of activism that start sounding like fanaticism or a covert call for ecoviolence, should we start worrying about any slippery slope in our country?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bambi does not know about you, but words referring to explosions are a turnoff for her. Plus, instead of mobilizing people around the cause, they may actually harm the environmental cause. Dr. Suzuki is a smart scientist\/environmentalist with a long career in broadcasting. His words have a weight. They can influence our youth and older passionate Canadians. With all due respect, perhaps he should be more careful with the choice of his words next time&#8230; unless he truly meant the word &#8220;<em>blown up<\/em>&#8220;, which would be truly scary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude this post, of course, you do not have to agree with neither Bambi&#8217;s question nor her concern for the fanaticism of environmentalism. After all, the &#8220;<em>funeral<\/em>&#8221; may take place for real and perhaps sooner than we think&#8230; but it would be not in the way this radical environmental group meant it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-chek\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"PdtoRRDfpT\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheknews.ca\/david-suzuki-says-pipelines-will-be-blown-up-if-leaders-dont-act-on-climate-change-915197\/\">David Suzuki says pipelines will be &#8216;blown up&#8217; if leaders don&#8217;t act on climate change<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;David Suzuki says pipelines will be &#8216;blown up&#8217; if leaders don&#8217;t act on climate change&#8221; &#8212; CHEK\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cheknews.ca\/david-suzuki-says-pipelines-will-be-blown-up-if-leaders-dont-act-on-climate-change-915197\/embed\/#?secret=PdtoRRDfpT\" data-secret=\"PdtoRRDfpT\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"David Suzuki says pipelines will be &#039;blown up&#039; if leaders don&#039;t act on climate change\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bT5ASo-nvPY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bambi would like to thank Mr. Ezra Levant for a couple of tweets about a CHEK News article where we could listen to a video in which Dr. David Suzuki said that pipelines will be [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15032"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15032"}],"version-history":[{"count":28,"href":"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15032\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15061,"href":"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15032\/revisions\/15061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15032"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15032"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
