The Use of Neonicotinoid Pesticides

November 22, 2013

Letter from AWA to Pest Management Regulatory Agency Health Canada. Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency has just acknowledged that the majority of examined pollinator mortalities were the result of exposure to neonicotinoid insecticides, and more importantly, have admitted that “current agricultural practices related to the use of neonicotinoid-treated corn and soybean seed are not sustainable” and has issued a Call for Comments.

No public hearings are scheduled. Only one Alberta organization, the Alberta Wilderness Association, is independent enough that it continues championing public land and the people's right of access to it. So people must speak individually, as they have so many times before, directly to the premier, the minister of Sustainable Resource Development and their MLA, and remind them of what public land means to all of us, that none of it is surplus to our needs, that we do not want it sold.
