In this excerpt, Suzuki talks about the way northern countries behave when compared to less privileged countries. She tells us that in these countries (specifically Canada), people use a lot of resources and do not want to share with needy regions. However, she argues this with a tone of judgement. In order to do so, she employs words such as "waste" when talking about the use of resources and "afraid" when talking about Canada's attitude towards sharing resources.
