We now have three petitions on glyphosate, not to mention a number of direct Access To Information and Freedom of Information act applications from me to our federal and provincial government for disclosure of various informations on the use of this herbicide.

The first petition is this one, with almost 24,000 support. Details have already been delivered to my MP hon. Carla Qualtrough to be submitted to Health Canada minister Jane Philpott. Unfortunately, Health Canada is keeping silent on this. The second petition is directed at the Parliament, on the House of Commons e-petition platform. Link : https://petitions.parl.gc.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-413 This one too asks for disclosure of the hitherto hidden safety test reports and data to the public, but it addresses the Parliament. These petitions require an elected member of parliament to sponsor. So Fin Donnelly, NDP, and MP from BC, has sponsored it. Only Canadian citizens and legal residents can support it. It does not allow updates or videos etc to be attached to it. It has a fixed closing date, and will close this month, on November 22nd. It has over 1400 signatures. If you have not already signed it, and are eligible to, please consider signing it.

 The third petition is a new one, on change.org and asks a large number of potential decision makers, to start testing local food everywhere, for glyphosate concentration, and to place all results in the public domain, every month. The link: https://www.change.org/p/healthcare-service-test-local-food-for-glyphosate?recruiter=16360852&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=share_for_starters_page&utm_term=des-md-share_petition-no_msg This one has multiple target decision makers, starting with two Canadian federal ministers, of Health and Agriculture, but fans out and includes Premiers of all Canadian provinces, heads of some local Healthcare services, other Provincial level public servants connected to health or agriculture, and some city mayors. At the moment the petition has 26 decision makers, all from Canada. But that is designed to change and expand greatly.

 This petition, although originating from Canada, is designed to be global in nature and applicable to any place where glyphosate contamination in food on one side, and absence of information on the level of contamination is considered a problem. Therefore, anybody anywhere can not only sign this petition, and share it, but also help out by sending us the contact details of potential decision makers of their area, such as Governors of US states, heads of Healthcare service providers, other elected high public servants that are involved in health, agriculture or environment, as well as local town mayors etc. 
So, if you have not already signed this petition, I would encourage you to do so, share it, and also help me include local decision makers of your area. I need the following, for each potential decision maker - a)Name, b)Rank and c)Email Address. Example : name- Mr. XXX XXXX, Rank- Governor, state of XX, USA, Email- xxx.xxxx@xxxx.com Once again, the link to this third petition is : https://www.change.org/p/healthcare-service-test-local-food-for-glyphosate?recruiter=16360852&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=share_for_starters_page&utm_term=des-md-share_petition-no_msg When it crossed 500 signatures yesterday, an email was sent out to the currently identified 26 decision makers, which has been recorded audibly by Misty Britskaya of BC, Canada and converted into a 2 minute video, included here.

 I would also appreciate help in pushing this petition to far corners of the globe - such as in Europe, Latin America, Asia, Australasia etc, wherever glyphosate is suspected to be threatening our food web. Thanking you
