Does famed environmentalist David Suzuki not know that Sun News often reports about Sun News?

A reporter for Sun News says Suzuki refused to appear at a public policy debate Tuesday night, until she and her cameraman were escorted from the premises at the Ottawa stop of the “The Eco Tour.”

“When it was revealed we represented Sun News, we were no longer welcome,” reporterJessica Hume said in a post Wednesday called “The good doctor will not see you now.

“David Suzuki didn’t just refuse to speak to us. He refused to appear altogether, sending a handful of hostile event organizers to remove us from the premises.

“After much debate and my reiterating I would be staying to ask a question, one of the event-organizers-turned-Suzuki-mandated-attack-dogs turned to the sizable crowd, incensed that I wouldn’t leave quietly, and yelled for someone to call 911.”

In a video accompanying the post, an organizer tells Hume: “Unfortunately, David Suzuki does not have time to talk to you tonight, you can wait outside.” The video is worth watching for the moment the smile on Hume’s face approaches “Gotcha!” level five.
