Methinks it like half closing the barn door after the horse ran off just in case he didn't die and may come back for another dose of glyphosate N'esy Pas?
Buddy Best "Glyphosate is considered "absolutely necessary" by NB Power as they use it to kill plants underneath transmission lines throughout the province. (Shane Fowler/CBC)" Multi B$ law suits won against Bayer/Monsanto for cancer causing agent Glyphosate. I can hardly wait until it hits Irving, NB Power and the province. As they kill plants they also kill every living thing around them over time. This is not a speeding bullet but a low moving train on the down hill. But as long as it helps profits who are we to care.

Study reveals Monsanto manipulated glyphosate approval process Written by Dallas McQuarrie on August 13, 2018
in Environment, Health, New Brunswick, Rural - No comments

A new study details how Monsanto, a company that manufactures glyphosate-based products, used deceit and manipulation to have the chemical herbicide declared safe.
The scientific article, published in the August 2018 edition of the Journal of Public Health Policy, documents how Monsanto attempted to manipulate scientific evidence for its own business interests.
The study, by Dr. Sheldon Krimsky and Carey Gilliam, uses documents from 3,500 lawsuits against Monsanto and information obtained through the American Freedom of Information Act. Krimsky and Gilliam show that Monsanto engaged in the “ghost writing” of scientific articles, interfered in the reporting of test data by a scientific journal, prepared presentations for supposedly “independent” scientists, and exercised “undue influence on [the American] regulatory agency” that approved the use of glyphosate.
New Brunswick government and forest industry spokespersons, despite compelling evidence to the contrary, continue to say that glyphosate is no threat to public health.
The best-known glyphosate product is the herbicide, Roundup, which is used in agriculture. VisionMax, Forza and Weedmaster are glyphosate-based products used in forestry.
Roundup is also the central issue in the 3,500 lawsuits against Monsanto. Krimsky and Gilliam note that, in every case, the individuals suing Monsanto say that “she or he, or their loved ones, developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma due to Roundup exposure. Moreover, the plaintiffs allege that Monsanto had long covered up the risks of the glyphosate-based herbicide.”
The glyphosate scandal erupted in March 2015 when the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) determined that glyphosate was a probable cause of cancer and reported “strong” evidence that glyphosate caused DNA and chromosomal damage in human cells.
The glyphosate-cancer link was brought to the attention of the New Brunswick Legislative Assembly by Green Party leader David Coon. Coon’s opposition to dangerous herbicides and defoliants dates back to the mid-1980s when he was opposing the provincial government’s use of the cancer-causing Agent Orange.
Monsanto feared the IARC would link glyphosate to cancer, even before the IARC report was published. Krimsky and Gilliam note a February 2015 internal email by Monsanto scientist William Heydens that “discussed with colleagues various papers the company wanted to see published to counter what the company expected the IARC to find.”
The fact that Monsanto was clearly convinced well ahead of time that the IARC would find glyphosate to be a cause of cancer raises questions about what internal data Monsanto had, and whether it knew that the chemical caused cancer.
In his e-mail, Monsanto’s Heydens suggests that they “ghostwrite” sections of a scientific paper that was being prepared by other researchers, and adds, “we would be keeping the cost down by us doing the writing and they would just edit and sign their names.” That deception worked, and Krimsky and Gilliam note that this Monsanto-ghostwritten paper “has been cited hundreds of times” and was “referenced by the [American] Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in its finding… that glyphosate was ‘not likely’ carcinogenic.”
As well, in an internal memo by Monsanto scientist David Saltmiras, he admits that he “ghost wrote cancer review paper Greim et al. (2015),” a document also cited by the EPA in its 2016 decision that glyphosate was safe for human use.
In 2016, Monsanto hired the firm Intertek Scientific & Regulatory Consultancy to write articles discrediting the World Health Organization’s research linking glyphosate to cancer. Intertek initially denied contact by Monsanto, but court documents cited by Krimsky and Gilliam show those denials were lies. In fact, as Krimsky and Gilliam note, “the documents demonstrate Monsanto was engaged in organizing, reviewing, and editing the drafts, even arguing with one of the authors and overruling him about language in the manuscript.”
The Krimsky-Gilliam article cites “internal Monsanto documents [that] show that Monsanto officials directed and organized a campaign to pressure” another journal into withdrawing a peer-reviewed paper showing harmful effects to animals exposed to Roundup.
Monsanto also gave Wallace Hayes, the editor-in-chief 0f scientific journal Food and Chemical Toxicology, a secret $400 an hour consulting contract. Hayes never declared the conflict of interest.
The Krimsky-Gilliam article details how “Monsanto officials developed presentations for academic scientists to deliver at seminars and other public forums,” despite the fact that “scientists who present their findings at scientific meetings are generally expected to disclose any conflicts of interest, as well as any collaborators.” Monsanto did this “in multiple instances involving multiple professors.”
Not content with using tame scientists, Monsanto also worked closely with at least three EPA officials in the United States “to derail a review of glyphosate by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) that was underway in 2015.” Monsanto’s fear was that ATSDR review “would find carcinogenecity concerns with glyphosate just as IARC had.”
“Coon has been fighting glyphosate spraying for many years”: Glyphosate opponent
Cocagne resident and long-time anti-glyphosate activist Serge Robichaud, said Coon “was the only party leader seriously opposed to it during the last provincial election in 2014, and he has shown his commitment to banning glyphosate during his time in office.”
In December 2016, Coon proposed legislation to amend the Crown Lands and Forests Act. Coon proposed to replace clear-cutting and glyphosate spraying with ecological sustainability, fairness for private woodlot owners and independent sawmill operators, and acknowledgment of Aboriginal rights. The Liberals and Conservatives did not support the bill.
Robichaud notes that “Coon has been fighting glyphosate spraying for many years,” and adds he doesn’t trust the other parties to support a glyphosate ban. He said, “What is needed now to stop the use of glyphosate is a class action lawsuit against the federal government based on the very flawed Canadian approval process.”
Rod Cumberland is a wildlife biologist concerned about the presence of glyphosate in food. He is not satisfied with the provincial government’s approach to the potential dangers of a chemical the World Health Organization says probably causes cancer.
“The people of New Brunswick … should care enough about their health and welfare that they demand the New Brunswick government–specifically the Office of Chief Medical Officer of Health–begin to test for glyphosate residues in our foods, as well as test for its presence in the wildlife we consume and the farm products and meats sold to [New Brunswickers] as healthy products, rather than” allowing them “to take a ‘wait and see’ approach,” Cumberland said.
“The health and safety of New Brunswick residents should be important enough that we are offered a proactive, rather than a reactive, approach by our elected officials,” Cumberland added. Dallas McQuarrie covers the environment from Mi’kmaq territory in Kent County.

J.D. Irving Ltd. uses glyphosate-based herbicides extensively in New Brunswick. (CBC)
The province announced Friday it will be reducing the use of herbicidal spray this year.
Two government departments announced the controversial spraying of glyphosate would be reduced in their respective areas. Critics are saying it's a step in the right direction, but they are still calling for an outright ban on spraying.
Licences to spray glyphosate are approved by the provincial government each year for widespread use by the forestry industry as well as NB Power to stem plant growth or encourage selective growth for certain tree species.
"We are announcing a reduction of 30 per cent in the spraying of NB Power's power lines this year," said Mike Holland, the minister of energy and resource development, during question period in the provincial legislature.
Environment Minister Jeff Carr says the province will be reducing its reliance on glyphosate in protected wetland and watershed areas, with a promise of more regulations in the future. (CBC)
Jeff Carr, the minister of environment and local government, also announced the reduction of the herbicide elsewhere, but he did not state by how much.
"Through consultation with my honourable member here and with industry and by talking with NB Power and with woodlot owners, we are also going to reduce spraying in protected watershed areas on Crown lands this year," said Carr.
"We will start to create more regulations for a future time."
Energy Minister Mike Holland says the decision to reduce glyphosate use came from a combination of environmental concerns and a reduced need for the herbicide this year. (CBC)
When asked if the decision was in response to environmental concerns or if there was just less need for the herbicide, Holland said, "It's both."
"Every year it will be reviewed annually," he said.
Holland said his interest into the use of the herbicide comes from a love of the outdoors. He described himself as an avid outdoorsman and hunter.
"My focus was very much particular on how it affects animals," said Holland. "When you look at something that is very effective at killing vegetation, that vegetation is food for the animals that live in the woods.
"When I review herbicide spraying or herbicide application of any kind, I'm looking at merging it into a system that allows … industry to continue at a profitable rate," he continued, "while at the same time allowing me to put more food back in the fridge for wildlife by being pretty deliberate about finding areas where we can increase that naturally regrowing habitat."
A first step
A reduction in spraying may be a step in the right direction for those who oppose it — but only the first step.
"We asked the minister not to sign the permits so there would be no spraying of glyphosate," said David Coon, leader of the Green Party. "Of course, less is better, but what we want to see is no spraying."
"The minister announced today that they were going to end the spraying, prohibit spraying, in legally protected drinking water watersheds, like the Turtle Creek reservoir," Coon continued.
"They never should have been spraying there in the first place."
Caroline Lubbe-D'Arcy said the announcement is "better than what we were probably expecting." Lubbe-D'Arcy chairs the Stop Spraying New Brunswick group that campaigns and protests against the continued use of the herbicide in the province.
"It's a small step in the direction that we're hoping to go towards," she said. "We're still of course asking for a ban on the spraying by NB Power and on public land."
Caroline Lubbe-D'Arcy, the lead organizer of the group Stop Spraying New Brunswick says Friday's announcement is a step in the right direction, but it's still not the outright ban her group has been advocating for. (Shane Fowler/CBC)
Lubbe-D'Arcy said she and another member of the group had recently met with Holland to discuss glyphosate use, but she was in the dark about the specifics of Friday's announcement.
She said in regards to plans for future reductions, as referenced by Carr, she doubts government has a plan.
Glyphosate is considered "absolutely necessary" by NB Power as they use it to kill plants underneath transmission lines throughout the province. (Shane Fowler/CBC)
"I don't know if they know yet," said Lubbe-D'Arcy.
She said the Department of Energy and Resource Development told her group it was planning to reduce spraying on what she believes is all Crown land normally sprayed each year from 25 per cent to 20 per cent.
"But we're not sure if that's good news," said Lubbe-D'Arcy. "Because in five years that would mean you've still sprayed it. You've just spread it out over a bunch of years."
Both Lubbe-D'Arcy and Coon referred to Friday's announcement as prohibiting spraying in protected wetlands and watersheds, while Carr detailed it as a "reduction."
CBC News has reached out to the Department of Environment and Local government for clarification but has not yet received a response.

Public Health Implications of exposure to RadioFrequency Radiation
Anthony B Miller, MD.Professor Emeritus, Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto, Canada.
We have to be extremely cautious about increasing the population’s exposure to radiofrequency radiation (RFR). The telecom industry ignores the fact that the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization categorized in 2011 all RFR, including that emitted by cell phones and wifi from cell towers smart meters and routers as in some schools and many homes, as a possible (Class 2B) carcinogen, a grouping that also includes lead and DDT (IARC 2011).Since then new science has emerged, both human and animal, confirming that RFR causes cancer.
The human evidence comprises three important sets of case-control (human) studies of mobile phone use and brain cancer:
•The multi-country Interphone studywhich found a 2-fold increased risk of glioma after 10+ years of regular use of cell phones, with a dose response relationship (Interphone Study Group, 2010)
•Several studies by Hardell and his colleagues in Sweden (one of the first countries to introduce cell phones) showing 2-5 fold increased risk of glioma after prolonged use, especially when exposure began early in life (Hardell and Carlberg, 2015)
•A large study in France (Cerenat), which found a 5-fold increased risk of glioma after 5+ years use (Coureau et al, 2014)
These studies all show that the lower the exposure, the less the risk.Although an increased risk of glioma was not reported from a cohort study in the UK (with some misclassification of exposure) there was a doubling of risk of acoustic neuroma (vestibular Schwannoma) with ten or more years of mobile phone use (Benson et al, 2013), as was also found in a case-control study by Hardell et al, 2013, though not by Moon et al, 2014 from Korea.However, a case-control study of brain tumors in adolescents using operator recordsfor exposure in Nordic countries found more than a doubling of risk after 2.8 years since initial subscription for mobile phone use (Aydin et al. 2011).
RFR is probably also an avoidable cause of Breast Cancer, based upon 7 unusual clinical case reports of women who kept cell phones in their bras, supported by exposure modelingand toxicology (West et al, 2013).
The incidence of parotid or salivary gland tumors has tripled in Israel:1 in 5 under age 20 (Czerninski et al, 2011), and a rise in the incidence of glioblastoma in the temporal and frontal regions of the brain has been reported from the UK (Philips et al 2018), while the incidence of neuro-epithelial brain cancers has significantly increased in children, adolescents, and young adults from birth to 24 years in the United States(Gittleman et al, 2015; Ostrom et al 2016).
Tumor promotion by exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields below exposure limits for humans in RF-EMF exposed mice were first reported in 2010.Lerchl et al (2015) replicated this finding with higher numbers of mice per group. They could fully confirm the previous results. No clear dose–response relationship was evident. Lerchl et al (2015) hypothesized that metabolic changes are responsible for the effects observed. Critical evidence of carcinogenicity of RFR in animals was reported by the National Toxicology Program (US). In male Hsd:Sprague Dawley SD rats, exposed to GSM-modulated cell phone RFR at 900 MHz there was clear evidence of carcinogenic activity based on incidence of malignant schwannoma in the heart and some evidence of carcinogenic activity based on incidence of malignant glioma in the brain. In male Hsd:Sprague Dawley SD rats, exposed to CDMA-modulated cell phone RFR at 900 MHz there was clear evidence of carcinogenic activity based on incidence of malignant schwannoma in the heart and some evidence of carcinogenic activity based on incidence of malignant glioma in the brain. Multiple organs (e.g., brain, heart) also had evidence of DNA damage.These findings were supported by a Life-span Carcinogenic Study from the Ramazzini Institute, in which 2448 male and female Sprague-Dawley rats had whole-body exposure for 19 h/day to a 1.8 GHz GSM far field of 0, 5, 25, 50 V/m from prenatal life until natural death.This reproduced the environmental exposure to RFR generated by 1.8 GHz GSM antenna of radio base stations of mobile phones. The findings were a statistically significant increase in the incidence of heart Schwannomas in treated male rats at 50 V/m, a non-significant increase in the incidence of heart Schwann cell hyperplasiain treated male and female rats at 50 V/m and anon-significant increase in the incidence of malignant glial tumors in treated female rats at 50 V/m.(Falcioni et al, 2018).
My colleague Paul Heroux, of McGill University,has suggested that 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT) is a Trojan horse, with millions of mini-cell towers soon to be installed every 150 m. in our neighbourhoods which will invade the privacy of every home. Optical fibre is safer, healthier and faster. With optical fibre, everyone could enjoy a communication speed ultimately 10,000 times faster than wireless, less vulnerable to hacking and harmless to the health of humans and other species.
An IARC advisory committee recently recommended that RFR should be re-reviewed with high priority.An extensive literary search will be conducted for relevant peer-reviewed publications, members (and chair) of a Working Group will be selected by the IARC Director and the head of the Monographs program, and the members of the working group will be given specific tasks, and then will meet for 8 days in Lyon, to reach a conclusion on the carcinogenicity of RFR.
I and many other scientists now believe that RFR should be categorized as a Class 1 Human Carcinogen, in the same category as cigarette smoking, asbestos exposure, and X-Rays. Government standards must be changed to reflect this. RFR is now ubiquitous, and those who use cell phones or are otherwise exposed to RFR are increasing the risk of cancer in their bodies, especially after prolonged exposure or exposure beginning in childhood.
Even if the risk per individual is low, it is widely distributed and could become a major public health problem, especially if the planned introduction of 5G proceeds. If 5G is rolled out we can expect to see an increase in all of these conditions.A moratorium on the roll-out of 5G is essential.
