Funny, that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s both the obvious hypocrisy here and a bit of irony, given Suzuki and Wilson have an awful lot in common. Both can be self-aggrandizing and arrogant blowhards who at times seem more interested in hearing their own voices than using them for good. Both have large followings and a devoted core of supporters, and both have the ability to make news simply by opening their mouths. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Court-Painter-W-Brett-Wilson-.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17963\" width=\"1000\" height=\"714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Court-Painter-W-Brett-Wilson-.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Court-Painter-W-Brett-Wilson--300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Court-Painter-W-Brett-Wilson--768x548.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And while Wilson remains a member of the petro-conservative inner circle in Alberta, Suzuki is its original b\u00eate noire<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Court-Painter-Suzuki-Kenney.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17962\" width=\"1000\" height=\"653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Court-Painter-Suzuki-Kenney.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Court-Painter-Suzuki-Kenney-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Court-Painter-Suzuki-Kenney-768x502.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Premier Jason Kenney seems to have David Suzuki living in his head and it gets his dander up!
