He&#8217;s been responsible for raising public awareness of important environmental issues in Canada and around the globe, and he&#8217;s brought intelligence, wit and lucidity to the debate.

	This is what Toronto and apparently much of North America looks like today, as we get snowed under by a massive, festive pre-Christmas storm system.
