Our Minister of Agriculture is quite something

[QuebecOverCanada]

Have you heard about the increases in the pesticides in your food? It may come sooner than expected. Health Canada, alongside the pesticides lobby group, are putting enormous pressure on the system to allow farmers to sell us vegetables and fruits containing up to twice the amount of already high pesticides traces in our plates.

Not only is Health Canada, a government organization, is helping the corporations push that agenda, but the Minister of Agriculture has said something quite... enormous today.

She said that basically, her minister won't be intervening in that case, because we should leave it to health experts on to whether or not we should increase our pesticides intake on a daily, and should not be a political matter.

Is she even aware that we're having this debate - to increase or not our doses of pesticides - because of lobbying (which is political pressure) from corporations?

Are our politicians that out of touch? Is the system that rigged?

It's not like the fruits and vegetables that we buy are worm-eaten. It seems like we're using enough pesticides already.

That the Minister of Agriculture is not from the west is just another in a long line of BS insults from POTawa. 70% of the cattle industry in this pretend country is in Alberta for example and as for grain... just look west.

The Trudeau government finally intervenes and stops consultations about the increases in pesticides.

Afterall, when there is a will, there's a political way. Despite what the Minister said, it was political all along.
