I'm surprised they didn't have Jay Ingram and David Suzuki on - or maybe they're just not mentioned here?

I remember when it first started. It used to be on in the evening.


After all is said and done, more is usually said than done.

Just found this. Not sure of the year, but given how young Suzuki is, it must be a long time ago. And as Turkey Top noted in his post, it was originally on at night - Wednesdays, to be specific.
