The Issue

stop these monsters from distorying our hard wood forests ,this will effect everyone weather they like it or not   .....The province has approved the applications of Northern Pulp and five other companies to spray more than 2,600 hectares of woodland with VisionMax, a herbicide containing the active ingredient glyphosate. Northern Pulp will be carrying out about half of the spraying, which is intended to choke out hardwoood ,Glyphosate, also the primary active ingredient in the herbicide Roundup, has had a controversial history since its introduction by herbicide giant Monsanto in the 1970s. Subsequent to the 2015 report released by the World Health Organization’s cancer agency, several European countries imposed extensive glyphosate prohibitions and four were considering bans by early this summer. But in May, experts with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization released a statement saying that glyphosate is “unlikely to pose a carcinogenic risk to humans from exposure through diet.”ods and provide for the unimpeded growth of coniferous trees.  ...yeah right ! i say lets stop them if we can! we need our hardwood forests . stop them from distorying our province ...i ask everyone who sees this to sign this petition . cause fall is here ,where would we be without the wounderful colors on the hardwood trees ....there will be none if we dont act now ..so many animals depend on them to survive ,so do we! ... please sign  thank you !
