Dr. David Suzuki joined the CBC in 1971 with the TV series, B次元官网网址淪uzuki on Science.B次元官网网址 In 1974, he developed and hosted the long-running popular radio program B次元官网网址淨uirks and Quarks,B次元官网网址 and several more TV specials followed. In 1979, he began hosting the B次元官网网址楴ature of ThingsB次元官网网址, already in its 20th season.

Studying zoology and genetics in the United States, Suzuki returned to Canada in the early 1960B次元官网网址檚, at a time when science was booming, and the space race was on.

B次元官网网址楢mericans revel in money, and I didnB次元官网网址檛 like that. One of my heroes was Tommy Douglas. In the States, he wouldB次元官网网址檝e been branded an outright commie, but the CCF at that time, now the NDP - was a legitimate party, I loved that we had Medicare, we had equalization paymentsB次元官网网址, says Suzuki.

B次元官网网址業 said, I have go to get out of this country. You know, IB次元官网网址檝e never regretted that choice. Canada is different. IB次元官网网址檓 not saying weB次元官网网址檙e better than the US, itB次元官网网址檚 different. I prefer the differences in CanadaB次元官网网址.

Suzuki tells B次元官网网址楾oday in B.C.B次元官网网址 host Peter McCully that there have been some issues that the B次元官网网址淣ature of ThingsB次元官网网址 has focused on over the years that he feels have made a difference.

B次元官网网址楽hows that had an immediate effect, like the program we did on the Amazon, back in 1989, a two-hour special on a great dam being planned known as the Great Whale Project. I believe that our program stopped that dam from being builtB次元官网网址.

A particularly personal and emotional program for Suzuki, dealt with AlzheimerB次元官网网址檚.

B次元官网网址楳y mother had AlzheimerB次元官网网址檚 and her three brothers and, and her sister all died of dementia. I offered to talk about how it affected me personally, and I think the personal involvement had a real impact on the program itselfB次元官网网址.

Suzuki the author and co-author of over 50 books, says he will take on the role of an elder after retirement from the program.

B次元官网网址業 can just tell the truth and I can tell the truth on behalf of the one group that is least empowered in our society, and thatB次元官网网址檚 our children. If our children arenB次元官网网址檛 at center stage in our conversation then what the hell are we doing all this, or not doing all this for?B次元官网网址
