IF TIME FOR ONLY ONE POSTING, MAKE IT THIS ONE:
Problem with the “public discourse” in Canada regarding Roundup,
Allowing retread of the “science versus bought-science” arguments that go nowhere.
If a public affairs or news programme is covering the issue of Roundup, they have a duty to KNOW that there are new developments arising from the 3 trials in California.
I urge you to pass along this one posting – – people may not learn it from mainstream Canadian media, UNLESS we create the awareness to force the discussion.
(Email sent to CBC) “Discovery/Disclosure” in the trial process: documents that condemned Monsanto came from Monsanto itself. “The Monsanto Papers”.
http://sandrafinley.ca/?p=24450
Also egregious: “The Current” coverage used
Keith Solomon, professor from the University of Guelph to provide “the science” on Roundup.
Solomon shilled for the tobacco industry. And then became “the scientist” for the chem-biotech industry, testifying to the benign effects of the pesticides (ag chemicals, Roundup, …). I spoke with him when he came to Regina from Guelph ON, out of the goodness of his heart (ha!), to give evidence to City Council. He is a “scientist-for-hire”. CBCRadio, “The Current” (guest host Piya Chattopadhyay) should have known that from background checks The Current would have done.
UPDATE: REDEMPTION – The English version of documentary done by French language CBC just came out. I posted it.

Media coverage also fails by Naming the EFFECTS, not the CAUSE, as the problem:
2019-04-12 “There is a shortage of health care workers”. NO. There is an over-supply of sick and damaged people.
The interviewee said:
There is a shortage of health care workers across Canada.
The accurate statement is:
There is an over-supply of sick and damaged people across Canada.
Understand it this way:
Bees (insects) and songbirds will have a chance of surviving in Bavaria because, in response to projected extinctions within 20 to 30 years, they recently passed legislation that will phase out chemical farming (coating the land with poisons).
Of course, those same chemicals are playing havoc with the health of the human population, too. Hence the court awards (California) in favor of plaintiffs whose cancers have been caused by Monsanto (now Bayer)’s agricultural chemical Roundup.
The Court wins offer a glimmer of hope in North America that disease and developmental problems in the human population could eventually start to reverse upward trend lines. In which case we might eventually reach a situation where we care enough about the planet and its inhabitants to stop the rampant poisoning. Canada might save our insects and songbirds, too.
BTW: in my life’s experience, I have yet to know a profession that self-regulates in service to the public interest. There is a conflict-of-interest. Self-regulation always staunchly protects the interests of the profession.
Best wishes,
Sandra Finley

The 3 California trials were each one about the health impacts of Roundup, and what the Corporation knew for a long time. Some of you will be interested: this posting explains a couple of references in other postings to the research regarding declining health of younger generations, done by the Health Insurance Industry.

THE LARGEST OBSTACLE TO DEALING WITH THE POISONING IS UNIVERSITIES
Almost every person who gets a job as
- a provincial Government Agricultural Rep
- an employee of a Government Department of Agriculture or “Agri-food”
- a journalist working for a farm publication
- an employee of an ag-biotech-chemical corporation
- an employee of an Agriculture Department in a University
- an employee of a “Food Security” Institution in a University
will have been trained and credentialed by The University. And SOME of the employees in University Schools of Public Policy have degrees in Agriculture/Agri-Food/Food Security. (Not Food Sovereignty)

Subject: Re: For your selection, May 20 All Monsanto-Bayer, Roundup. We are playing to win.
I like to take the time to thank those who I consider friends even though I may have never met them; and you are one of them.
Thank you for all that you do.
I would also like to make a point for those who are of ‘my generation’ who served in the military during the Vietnam war. I was a Marine from 1972-78 and released from active duty in 1975, five months after the Americans evacuated Saigon in April.
Fortunately for me I avoided being exposed to “agent Orange” a defoliant that the Americans sprayed by the millions of tons on the jungle, and all of the living beings that were in it; including their own troops.
Others were exposed to the chemical while serving in positions that demanded that exposure such as the pilots and crews of the aircraft that were being used and even those who simply were in the vicinity of the areas that the chemical was being utilized.
This is in addition to the millions of human beings on the ground in North and South Vietnam, as well as all of the other animals who are all still showing the results of their exposure; 44 years later. The diseases and other conditions that exposure to “Agent Orange” causes are well documented and I encourage those who may read this to do their own research on the matter but remember that the US Veterans who were exposed, in most cases are receiving disability compensation (if you can all it compensation) but those who were in the population of Vietnam who were exposed do not receive compensation for their disabilities.
Sufficient evidence exists to reveal that the people in charge of the company during that period were well aware of the nature of the danger of their product; and sold it to the American people anyway knowing that they would never actually be held responsible for their actions.
That company is Monsanto.
Thank you for your time..
