   Comments: If we get enough people to band together, we can stop this. Please tell everyone you know. There are so many places in Nova Scotia right now that are going to get sprayed, you likely know someone in those areas. Check the dept of environment website, under applications approval and see if your home is listed for spraying! We have to fight for our rights to clean air and water! Thanks Everyone!

   Comments: We do not need spraying of chemicals in this day of age with all the talk of greenhouse emmissions, and pollutants not to say the dangers that these chemicals can have an effect on our health,our well water, our vegetables, pets and on the wildlife. The government of Nova Scotia should follow examples of other provinces like Quebec and have this product banned. Hire people to do the work manually. This will be much safter and will employ as well.

   Comments: As I am standing outside on my step this evening, I am hearing the familiar sound of MONEY and GREED. Yes more clear cutting! From where I live, it sounds like it is the Heathbell or Rogers Hill area. Now this only means that after those trees are demolished there will be yet MORE SPRAYING. They will have us surrounded in poisonous chemicals. Not one person out there can tell me that this is safe, I just don't believe it. Something has to be done about this and the more people that group together and speak out, maybe, just maybe someone out there will get the message and listen.

    Comments: I can't believe that a gov't that is recommending healthy lifestyle choices in order to prevent cancer, is allowing the thousands of acres of lands across the province to be sprayed with a form of Vision, and much of it aerial spraying. I have not heard one notice on radio or TV warning the general public that this spraying could be taking place as early as Aug. 1st. At least a radio/TV warning would alert people living in those areas or traveling to or near those areas that they may want to take an alternate route. Dr. Robert Strang, Medical Officer for the province stated on CBC radio (Nov/06), that multiple exposures to minute amounts of chemicals can increase our risk of getting cancer or diseases like MS. I believe we should follow his advice and use a precautionary approach when dealing with chemicals. In this case, what is good for the Acadian Forest, is good for all of the inhabitants, including us- no spray!

    Comments: We are very alarmed about the proposed spraying in our province and detest that the government has been close-mouthed regarding publicity to people in the concerned areas. Stop spraying needlessly and do not use my tax dollars to support widespread deforestation of natural hardwoods.

    Comments: I am a strong supporter of our forestry industry - people need sustainable jobs. This is also one of the many reasons why I am a strong supporter of MANUAL management "hire more people" stop the use of harmful chemicals - create jobs.

    Comments: Only humans put convenience before survival in the long run. We have to stop playing God, and become as the other animals. We are part of the earth and air and water, not above it... Take our heads out of the sand, isn't it obvious that these methods harm instead of help.
