Eco-Alarmism, Smoked Mussels on a Toothpick and Feigned Nostalgia for Twerkin' Miley's Dad

Heather Mallick demonstrates how "progressives" have fun:
The play, The Trial of David Suzuki, devised by Laurie Brown, had a great legal cast: Ontario Superior Court Justice Todd Ducharme, fine defenders and prosecutors, economist Michael Hlinka on the effect Suzuki’s plans would have on Canada — we’d be beggars — and Ontario Environmental Commissioner Gord Miller on our grandchildren’s future (bleak to non-existent).  
I was sitting on the jury with lawyers, planners, Oakville Mayor Rob Burton and four high school students who were kind enough not to openly hate the jury’s older, more polluting generation.  
Former Toronto Mayor David Miller opened the event and the effect on me was electric, for obvious reasons of nostalgia caked with a Mayor Ford-related ache that made my teeth sing with pain. I gave Miller my business card — call anytime, I said warmly — and sort of hung around seeing if he had enough chicken pot pie or smoked mussels on a toothpick ... or plans to run again. He did not. 
Suzuki has enraged people by speaking the truth, citing the 1992 World Scientists’ Warning to Humanity, which warned of climate change causing “vast human misery” and an “irretrievably mutilated” planet if we didn’t cut back on carbon emissions. The scientists came from 71 countries and included more than half of all Nobel prizewinners.  
Ah, 1992, so distant, so tasteless! We were making Billy Ray Cyrus’s Achy Breaky Heart a huge hit while we blew the planet’s riches.
Ah, lefties, so sanctimonious, so clueless! 

So vastly, irretrievably annoying!
