🇨🇦 FOREST SPRAYING: BASED ON FAULTY APPROVAL (BY PMRA)
Pesticides are being sprayed on Canadian forests, killing the diversity of forest life. The resulting harms are plant and animal death, destruction of forest foods, and accelerating forest fires. How is this allowed?
🌳 The approval for this use of pesticides comes from the agency responsible for "managing pests" - the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) of Health Canada.
🌳 PMRA says that unwanted trees and brush are “pests”. Pests are defined in the “Pest Control” law to include “a plant… that is injurious, noxious or troublesome”.
🌳 So trees are a troublesome pest? The forest industry and PMRA think they are. The aim of industry is to “harvest” one type of tree “crop”, usually evergreens (conifers), and get rid of the leafy trees (broadleaf) that get in the way – the pests.

FOREST SPRAYING: UNSAFE FOOD🌳🦌⚠️
Glyphosate is the main pesticide being sprayed on Canadian forests.
Spraying is a big a problem
- for people who forage, including First Nations
- for forest animals
- for hunters
People who forage for forest plants are at risk.
Registration of a pesticide requires proof that the risks of the pesticide are acceptable to human health and the environment. This standard cannot be met in the case of forest spraying of glyphosate.
The registration should be revoked.

FOREST SPRAYING: FOREST FIRES
Spraying forests with glyphosate dries them down (like it does crops) and also kills leafy trees, thereby removing a crucial fire barrier and increasing the risk for forest fires.
Reason and common sense dictate the practise must stop!🛑

Important Food Safety Update! 🔍
MOMS ACROSS AMERICA @momsacrossamerica has tested numerous gluten-free foods, baby formulas, and fast foods for toxins, revealing alarming results. Many of the brands tested are also found in Canada, affecting our families.
Highlights:
Gluten-Free Foods: 44 out of 46 samples tested positive for glyphosate.
Baby Formulas: 100% of the 40 samples contained aluminum and lead.
Fast Foods: 100% of the top 20 fast food brands contained heavy metals, lead, and cadmium.
These toxins pose significant health risks, especially to children. It’s crucial to know what’s in our food and protect our health. 🇨🇦

🚨 Scientists Find Risks with Preharvest Glyphosate — Health Canada’s PMRA Got it Wrong
A new Canadian study shows that using glyphosate before harvesting malting barley results in unsafe pesticide residues, even when following recommended guidelines. This proves Health Canada's PMRA wrong in assuming labels can prevent excess residue levels and ensure safety.
The study also supports our (Safe Food Matters')legal case against glyphosate use in Canada. We’ve been in court for seven years.
