A  Poison   is   A  Poison !

Good health and good sense are two of life's greatest blessings.
Publilius Syrus

I don't want poisons in and on my food!  Chemical herbicides and pesticides are poisons, plain and simple.
Unfortunately agri-chemical multinational companies have infiltrated farming organizations and governments.   Wildlife organisations,   that should be speaking up against these poisons,  because of their devastating impact on wildlife, have been silenced by huge corporate donations.

All of us need to start learning about the toxicity of these poisons so we can speak out against them. We need to learn about the healthy and  non toxic alternatives that are being used throughout 
 the world. 

Say "NO" to poisons!  Say "NO" to corporate driven farmer's organizations that are pushing to spread poisons! Say "NO" to corporate influenced government officials who are colluding  with agri-chemical multinational companies.  Say "No" to poisonous chemicals.  We neither need them or want them!

    Manitoba is where I was born and where I have spent most of the five and one half decades of my life.  I lived on the outskirts of the town of Portage La Prairie at a time when tadpoles and frogs inhabited the ditches and ponds, when there were many  Monarch butterflies each summer along with dragon flies and grasshoppers.  Redwing blackbirds perched the cattails of the ditches.  As children we picked dandelions for  bouquets and made wishes before blowing dandelion seed heads.  We searched clover  for lucky four leaves and rolled on the grass…there was no concern of poisonous herbicides.  The grass was thick.  Wherever we dug…there were earthworms
