Sep 1 David Suzuki: Our obsession with private automobiles is unsustainable: Georgia Straight In this opinion piece, the sainted Suzuki is really guilty of lazy thinking. It is much too easy to blame the victim – and concentrate on the vehicles and the people who use them rather than point fingers at the truly guilty parties. The automobile industry would never have...
