The Alberta government has introduced a motion condemning prominent environmental activist David Suzuki for his controversial comment that pipelines will be “blown up” if politicians fail to act on climate change.
The motion, tabled by Environment and Parks Minister Jason Nixon on Nov. 23, calls on the legislature to condemn Suzuki’s comment along with “any comments made calling for the intentional destruction of energy infrastructure” and “incitements of violent eco-terrorism.”
“But on top of that, we want to call today immediately for David Suzuki to apologize for what he said and to stop any remarks that can in any way be used to support eco-terrorism of any kind inside our country or anywhere,” Nixon said while presenting his motion.
