> Hi Neil,
> 
> Every day, Canadians are exposed to toxic chemicals that are linked to health
> conditions like cancer, asthma and behavioural problems such as ADHD. Canada’s
> top-selling weed killer and key ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup is of
> particular concern due to its links to cancer and evidence of harm.
> 
> That’s why we tested popular children’s food products such as Cheerios, Tim
> Hortons timbits and bagels and Fontaine Santé hummus. The results: 80 per cent
> of the food products tested contained glyphosate. This highlights the need for
> the Canadian government to strengthen our laws to
> protect us from harmful pesticides.

> In 2015, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on
> Cancer declared glyphosate a “probable carcinogen.” Despite this troubling
> conclusion, Health Canada decided in 2017 to continue to allow its use for
> another 15 years. This is unlike other countries like France, Austria and
> Germany who are making moves to significantly restrict or ban glyphosate.
> 
> Now more than ever, we must tell Canada
