The fact you can't spray this if the wind it blowing too much because it is dangerous and will move into "people populated" areas, isn't that a sign that it shouldn't be sprayed at all? The woods are populated but because it's not humans populating it, why should they care? It just shows how selfish the human race is.

I am disgusted with the gov'ts allowance of this harmful chemicals. Why does gov't always give in to business? How gutless and weak our gov'ts are. What measures are being taken to address its harmful effects?

With so much known about the dangers of glyphosate, why was permission given??? Unbelievable.

WHO deemed this a human carcinogen and we are still going to spray it over our homes, our children, our food and agricultural crops, our wildlife, our water.

I have family living in the Pictou area , and let me tell you , the air is so bad and it smell ,travels a long ways . Alot of people in that area have or had breast cancer . I often wondered about the pulp and paper mill . Surely it can,t be healthy.

If you MUST unnaturally alter the forests of NS in pursuit of the almighty dollar - why not use MANPOWER to cut down these trees? Employ some people and save our watersheds and mammals. This is HORRIBLE. Shame on you and shame on the governments for allowing this AND trying to sell us that something used in pesticide is safe for our world.
