Yes she was quit the precocious young lady at 13. She is even more amazing today at 31 as she follows in her fathers footsteps! Yes she is the youngest daughter of Dr. David Suzuki environmental activist and Canadian National treasure.

Her courage should be inspirational. But, she was talking to politicians, who see little more beyond poll numbers and campaign donations. And the distressing part, is, in the final few frames, how many empty seats were there? She demonstrated wisdom beyond her years, something politicans know little about.

Young people have been fueling social movements for a long time.

It's so frustrating to hear people talk about the "apathetic youth".

I'm sure there are just as many apathetic adults as there are youth, no need to be ageist.

 

Glad you were all here to hear my rant haha.

 

Love this video!
