“Ministry of Environment has these maps and we requested of them to provide the maps,” says James Steidle, rally organizer. “They’ve provided them in the past but not this year. ” He says people have the right to know where the herbicide is being sprayed. But, he still doesn’t believe the average person knows what’s happening.
“I think there are people who have no idea that this is happening. I think this is a really shocking story to a lot of people.”
He says there has to be a change of mindset when it comes to deciduous trees. Planting monocultures of trees leads to forest fires, pests, and disease.
But with the five-year plan already signed, what’s the point of this rally. Steidle says the Forests Minister can end glyphosate with the stroke of a pen.
“She has the authority delegated to her to basically sign a piece of paper that says ‘glyphosate spray in banned’ She could do that without the legislature.”
