A few years after I first found out about frac’ing and was trying to warn as many people as I could about it, in about 2006, I called Suzuki Fnd, begging for their and Suzuki’s help. I was denied, and worse, they tried to shame me for daring to ask. That showed me then their care about the environment is superficial. Twenty years later, Suzuki talking at this vile genocide greenwashing event, shows me he cares more about money than life or the environment.

| David Suzuki is scheduled to speak at a forum initiated by the explicitly racist Jewish National Fund. One of the two individuals likely spurring Suzuki’s involvement is Liberal party fundraising chair Stephen Bronfman. Incredibly, Bronfman has been on the board of the Suzuki Foundation for 30 years. Bronfman’s foundation — the Claudine And Stephen Bronfman Family Foundation — has donated nearly $6.1 million to the Suzuki Foundation since 2000. The Suzuki Foundation has also received significant funding from the Jewish Community Foundation of Montreal and the Gerald Schwartz & Heather Reisman Foundation, two pro-Israel charities that support Israel’s illegal occupation. Bronfman is also a Director at the Jewish Community Foundation of Montreal. Three other charities, of which Bronfman is a board member, have donated over $80,000 to the Suzuki Foundation. Please email the well-known environmentalist to ask him to withdraw from an event instigated by an organization that had its charitable status revoked for assisting the Israeli military and supporting illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.

Racism and environmentalism should never go together by Yves Engler, May 21, 2026
Why is David Suzuki speaking at a forum initiated by the explicitly racist Jewish National Fund?
On June 8 Suzuki is scheduled to speak at a Climate Solutions Prize (CSP) event in Montreal. The talk will be moderated by CSP head Galith Levy, who previously directed the Jewish National Fund of Montreal and led a 2024 JNF delegation to Israel.
CSP is a multimillion-dollar project launched by JNF Canada, which is co-sponsored by its parent Israeli organization Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael, Start-Up Nation Central and the Peres Center for Peace and Innovation.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennet announced the launch of CSP five years ago and Israeli President Isaac Herzog presented the inaugural prize for an initiative described as “a way for Israel to become a global hub for green tech.”
Baby blood washing, more like.
In a 2024 Jerusalem Post article headlined “Israel is leading the fight against the climate crisis”, CSP founders Galith Levy and Jeff Hart wrote, “From solving its water shortages with drip irrigation and desalination [then exporting those technologies around the world] to protecting its people with the Iron Dome, Israel has a remarkable track record in solving seemingly insurmountable existential challenges. With the Climate Solutions Prize, we look forward to supporting Israel as a world leader in helping solve this global challenge.”JFC! Every bomb Israel drops to mass murder innocents in the Middle East, wipes out any positive climate action. This prize shit is just to feed ego and greed, raise more $billions to kill more Palestinians and wash off the blood of babies Israel has murdered. As disgusting as Mark Carney and Danielle Smith pimping Carbon Capture and Storage/Sequestration (which they and industry know is a scam and does not work) in exchange for another tarshit pipeline to BC’s coast to make the rich richer.
JNF is an explicitly racist organization with exclusionary colonialist land policies its raison d’être. For many years JNF Canada’s Twitter tag said it “is the caretaker of the land of Israel, on behalf of its owners — Jewish people everywhere.” In 2024 the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) revoked its charitable status due to opaque funding of its Israeli parent organization and support for the Israeli military and West Bank colonies.
Suzuki’s participation in CSP is likely driven by two wealthy donors. CSP co-founder Hart helped launch the Suzuki Foundation in Quebec twenty years ago. Part of a 2024 JNF trip to Israel and JNF Montreal’s 2020 Negev Gala Honouree, Hart is currently leading the annual fundraising drive for Montreal’s Federation CJA, which sponsors the genocidal Jewish supremacist lobby group Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs.
The other individual likely spurring Suzuki’s dalliance with an Israeli initiative, set up by an explicitly racist Canadian organization, is Liberal party fundraising chair Stephen Bronfman. Incredibly, Bronfman has been on the board of the Suzuki Foundation for 30 years.
The scion of an arch Zionist family, who ran guns for the Zionist forces that ethnically cleansed Palestine in 1948, Bronfman boasted to the Globe and Mail that he brought soon to be Liberal leader Justin Trudeau to Israel. In 2013 the Globe reported: “Mr. Bronfman helped raise $2-million for Mr. Trudeau’s leadership campaign. Mr. Bronfman is hoping to win back the Jewish community, whose fundraising dollars have been going more and more to the Tories because of the party’s pro-Israel stand. ‘We’ll work hard on that,’ said Mr. Bronfman, adding that ‘Stephen Harper has never been to Israel and I took Justin there five years ago and he was referring at the end of the trip to Israel as ‘we.’ So I thought that was pretty good.’”
What the fuck is Bronfman talking about? There are photos of Herr Hideous Harper at the fucking wailing wall in Israel and him playing piano and singing (off key) for mass murderer Bibi Netanyahu and his wife, and others, in Israel. FFS.
‘Hey Ben’: Canadian PM Stephen Harper Serenades Israel’s Netanyahu 40 seconds by Sky News, Jan 23, 2014
Benjamin Netanyahu looked unsure of the words as he sang along to the Canadian Prime Minister’s rendition of “Hey Jude”. The performance of The Beatles classic came at the end of a four-day long visit to Israel by Stephen Harper.
There’s no indication Bronfman, who has significant business interests in Israel, has softened his Zionism amidst the recent horrors in Gaza, Lebanon and elsewhere. Last year he told the Canadian Jewish News that “Trump and his administration have been very good for the Jewish people.”
Does Bronfman not embarrass the Suzuki Foundation or is his money just too important?
Suzuki’s participation in the JNF/Israeli initiative initially surprised me. In my 2021 “David Suzuki an environmentalist to emulate”, I praised him for rebuking “infamous former Green Party senior advisor Noah Zatzman” for his anti-Palestinian antisemitism smears.
But searching for what Suzuki has said about the genocide in Gaza (little) and learning about his longstanding ties to Bronfman and Hart, puts it into perspective.
Suzuki should be pressured to withdraw from an event instigated by an explicitly racist organization. But he’s likely loath to do so as it would anger a few wealthy genocidal Jewish supremacist donors.

“The older I get, the more I realize that many environmental debates are not arguments about whether people care. They are arguments about what people are willing to give up. And those are very different things.”Suzuki has made a lot of money on the environment and genocide. What did he give up?
Mark Carney’s Chief of Staff Explains How Rich The Environment Will Make Him 3:31 Min. by Clare Blackwood, May 27, 2026
Hi there, poor people. Mark Carney has a new Chief of Staff, and she’s here to tell you all about the Liberal Party of Canada’s environmental policies and how much money they are going to make Mark, his investors, and Canada, too, probably. You probably won’t get it.
@gunkwretch3697:
Canada Strong, by selling everything off to Blackrock and cronies.
@notoriouslybratty:
I needed this as I am surrounded by Carney/Liberal enthusiasts. Granted he is not Poilievre, but I get major Harper vibes from him.
