  1. @VoxOfGod @MrBirch @clew @rspfau You're eaten alive in many places across BC & Alaska, if you're around any clear-cuts. I talked about that, earlier in thread. There's been increases in pests like mosquitoes & more, in & around surrounding areas where mass industrial ecocide has happened. You're at increased risks, if the government has done toxic glysophate aerial broadcast spraying. There's a reason that #StopTheSprayBC & #StopTheSpray #Canada exists. We've been fighting against governments ecocide in this arena since I was a teenager.

    US has done worse & under Trump, all the environmental safety checks are totally gone. It wasn't even safe to do more ecocide in the first place. Here's one of many failures to protect:

    Texans are also being poisoned from the groundwater up. That's been in news, all over the world too. People near abandoned oil wells are suffering increased cancer & other illnesses directly connected to pollution from ecocidal maniacs.

    #FirstNations and #environmentalists have denounced the practice of aerial #herbicide spraying on #forestlands for decades. This year, #Indigenous groups in Northern #Ontario have announced a ban on blanket herbicide use, while in #NovaScotia, residents have resorted to peaceful #DirectAction to enforce their own ban.

    The #ForestIndustry routinely dumps tons of chemicals like #glyphosate, the main ingredient in #Roundup weedkiller, on logged areas to kill off naturally-regenerated trees and shrubs in favour of commercial #TreeFarms. The problem is, these herbicides are #lethal to frogs, lizards, and salamanders. They wipe out #MedicinalPlants and berry bushes that Indigenous people and #wildlife rely on. Glyphosate, a suspected #carcinogen, #contaminates #rivers and #groundwater far and wide through indiscriminate spraying.

  7. @MarciaW This toxic use of #glysophate on #IndigenousLands is ongoing & happening across the globe. We've been fighting against it in #BritishColumbia #Canada for over a decade. Government ignores the science & keeps lying about safety, while still spraying/killing. All to boost timber profits/help greedy, corporate #deforestation. Industry #lobbyists bought out our politicians.
