Big Picture Journalism
Hi Kevin,
This funding thingy needs clearing up doesn't it? Take a look at the Suzuki Foundation (your president James Hoggan sits on the board) which is funded by 3 energy companies (at last count!):
annual report for 2005/2006 lists at least 52 corporate donors including: Bell Canada, Toyota, IBM, McGraw-Hill Ryerson, Microsoft, Scotia Capital, Warner Brothers, RBC, Canon and Bank of Montreal.
The David Suzuki Foundation also received donations from EnCana Corporation, a world leader in natural gas production and oil sands development, ATCO Gas, Alberta’s principle distributor of natural gas, and a number of pension funds including the OPG (Ontario Power Generation) Employees’ and Pensioners’ Charity Trust. OPG is one of the largest suppliers of electricity in the world operating 5 fossil fuel-burning generation plants and 3 nuclear plants.
But Mr Suzuki apparently claims in radio interviews it's difficult getting corporate funding! I think there's a story here Kevin, go to it Son.
