This awards means nothing as it was awarded by a very left leaning group. We had the same thing happen in Oz when the Australian of Year was awarded to another goofy environmentalist, Tim Flannery, by the left leaning media and government. He was just fired by our new conservative government in October and the Environmental Commission discontinued. David Suzuki and Flannery are best buddies and like Flannery, Suzuki is a complete phony.
