Friday night marked #DavidSuzuki 's last appearance as the host of the show that was founded in 1960 and which he, after taking over as host in 1979, turned into a byword for #science outreach. Over nearly four & a half decades, he's led #Canadians on a journey through topics as outre as bug sex and animal music, and as serious as the Underground Railroad and the fight to preserve old-growth forests.

Today, the Nature of Things will air its last episode with David Suzuki as host.
He began hosting the show in 1979 and announced his retirement in October 2022.

Here he is as a 19th century man, sitting in a beautiful forest.

Peaceful #convoy protesters started a grassroots movement and got falsely labelled as foreign funded occupiers despite all the donations being from Canadians.

That eco-terrorist called David Suzuki (wonder why he hasn't been stumped to death yet somehow 🤦‍♂️. Yes RCMP. I said yet) organizes violent protests and gets support from the media.
The idiot has a mansion in #Australia and a phony honorary degree from a university whose alumni typically go on to work in the #petroleum industry 🤣.

And also love that #DavidSuzuki is shown blatantly doing, ahead of his retirement, exactly the same thing another Canadian icon of the same vintage said he’d might do in his own retirement (that’d be former Prime Minister #JeanChretien, the person who decriminalized #marijuana in #Canada) https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/historic/2003/10/04/world-wonders-if-hes-gone-to-pot

What I’ve always LOVED about #NatureOfThings, and #DavidSuzuki’s hosting of it in particular, is how it’s always helped more deeply understand the science of how our world works — including this feature about getting high https://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/the-nature-of-things/how-we-get-high-our-bodies-are-perfectly-primed-for-consuming-cannabis-1.6725390

> #Hallett’s chemical process has won converts even among environmentalists. “The technique Hallett developed is stunningly and elegantly simple,” #DavidSuzuki wrote in his column in The #TorontoStar on Jan. 30, 1993. “It seems too good to be true.” In November 1996, Eco Logic was given the go-ahead by the #Ontario Ministry of Environment & Energy to set up a Destructor in downtown Toronto, where a defunct #GeneralElectric factory has left behind some stored PCBs.

It will also involve me blaming #DavidSuzuki for my mistakes in accidentally killing my goldfish. And my other early killing with too much kindness mistakes like accidental murders of my beloved hamster, Precious & her 1st & only litter. And about my 1st & only parakeet that I accidentally killed by slamming a cupboard door, trying to catch him.

"...our victories were illusions because we didn't change the perspective through which we saw the issues.

" That's what I say environmentalists have failed to do, to use the battles to get people to change their perspectives, and that's why I have chosen to work with First Nations because in most cases, they are fighting through the value lenses of their culture."
