Note: Please click here for Part I Introduction The first time I met David Suzuki was in early 2011.

Back in December, David Eby tweeted his first mention of BC’s new police watchdog- the Independent Investigations Office of British Columbia (IIOBC). I called David on this, questioning if he was being a bit catty in the way he used the word ‘flattering’. After all, David’s BC Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA) sees itself often doing the …
