The man whose hairdo is more unflappable than his temperament is headed back this way. Robert Kennedy Jr. will make a special Toronto appearance on June 23 at a paid public speaking engagement for the Learning annex.
"Don't miss what might be your only opportunity to hear this environmental hero speak about what he's learned in his struggle for a sustainable future, and how you too might contribute," states an article in Learning annex magazine.
Canadian environmentalist and social justice activists provide a welcome mat for Kennedy, who has vowed to put all pig farmers out of work, before going after those who make their living from chickens and cattle.
During the David Miller for Toronto Mayor Political Campaign, Kennedy was paid thousands of dollars to tell Torontonians that, like Miller, they should not support building a link to the Toronto Island airport. after his speech, the celebrity environmentalist flew back from whence he came–via the Toronto Island airport.
Film stars, who come out to support Kennedy annually on Canadian ski slopes, in Banff, alberta worried last February's freeze would disarrange their plastic surgery or ruin their Botox.
Touted as a hero by the Learning annex, Kennedy is described as "a man on a mission".
"Lauded by Successful Meetings magazine as a man whose message supercedes his golden name, Robert F. Kennedy speaks with an intelligence, earnestness and passion rarely seen among celebrity speakers." (The magazine likely used the same accolades in promoting their last motivational speaker).
according to Learning annex, "Robert Kennedy's legendary father once said, `Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.' His son certainly lives up to his father's words.
"His reputation as a resolute defender of the environment stems from a litany of successful confrontations against governments and companies polluting the environment. But Kennedy's message is more than clean water and pristine rivers. It is a call to action for people to make a contribution and difference in their world.
"Mr. Kennedy was named one of Time magazine's "Heroes for the Planet" for his success helping the environmental group Riverkeeper lead the fight to restore the Hudson River. The group's achievement spawned more than 125 Waterkeeper organizations across the globe, including the Ontario branch.
"He has worked on environmental issues across the americas and has assisted several indigenous tribes in Latin america and Canada in successfully negotiating treaties protecting traditional homelands. and it doesn't stop there--he is also credited with leading the fight to protect New York City's water supply. The New York City Watershed agreement, which he negotiated on behalf of environmentalists and New York City watershed consumers, is regarded as an international model in stakeholder consensus negotiations and sustainable development."
Senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council. Kennedy is Chief Prosecuting attorney for the Hudson Riverkeeper and President of Waterkeeper alliance.
Until Kennedy acknowledges that a pig farmer is as worthy a human being as a film star like alec Baldwin, he's a rich man's save-the-planet crusader and an environmental snob.
