Province announces reduction of herbicide spraying in New Brunswick

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/deer-st-andrews-population-1.5168751



Hungry deer cause major problems for Saint Andrews residents

A UNB study says there are 13 deer per square kilometre within the town



Oh deer — the town of Saint Andrews has a problem.

A harsh winter might have taken a toll on the province's deer population, but the southern New Brunswick town is still trying to tackle a growing number of deer within its borders.

"The reality is no matter where you go, you're either seeing a deer or the damage that they've done," said Brad Henderson, deputy mayor of Saint Andrews.

Deer have been a problem for Saint Andrews residents for more than 10 years, he said.

They destroy gardens, forcing residents to build fences, which have altered the streetscape of the town. More residents are also getting into collisions with deer, which is a rising concern, particularly with the coming tourist season.
"As a community we have adjusted," he said. "Most people go very slowly around town."

The deer may also carry ticks infected with Borrelia bacteria, which cause Lyme disease.

Henderson said there are 13 deer per square kilometre in Saint Andrews, four times the normal amount for a town of its size. The town is about 8.5 square kilometres.
It's a very safe area with a food source for them.- Brad Henderson, deputy mayor of Saint Andrews
"To put that into perspective, a normal community of our size and location would have about three to five per square kilometre," he said.

During the fall of 2017, Henderson said, the town partnered with the University of New Brunswick's department of forestry and environmental management on a project where students counted deer in different areas of the town.

UNB also provided recommendations to eliminate the deer problem, including a cull followed by an annual nuisance hunt.

For the cull, deer would be lured to a specific spot in town, where a marksman would be ready to kill the animals. The nuisance hunt would be an in-town bow hunt by recreational hunters.

Finding a solution 


According to the province, about 20 per cent of New Brunswick's deer herd died over the winter.

That's about six per cent more than average.

In a door-to-door survey, students found residents weren't opposed to a cull and nuisance hunt.

"We have come to the conclusion that doing nothing is not happening," Henderson said.

Eighty-four per cent of residents surveyed found the deer population out of control.

Sixty-four per cent said they were concerned about their health and safety.

Why so many deer?


Henderson said the town is working alongside the province to determine whether a cull and hunt can help solve the problem.

Other possible solutions include birth control, sterilizing male deer and relocation, which is controversial because of the stress it puts on the animals.

While some have argued clearcutting is causing more deer to move into town, others say the construction of the Route 1 gateway highway near Saint Andrews in 2010 might also have something to do with it.

"You've got to wonder if 15 kilometres over a few years, if the deer didn't actually migrate [in] the other direction toward the town of Saint Andrews, which is a peninsula that has no predators,"

Henderson said. "There's no hunting per say, and of course no coyotes.

"It's a very safe area with a food source for them."

Here is an idea... Stop all of the massive clear cutting and deforestation... Stop spraying glyphosate and other poisons.. Stop destroying the deer yards..And...Start protecting our wildlife, clean air, clean water and biodiversity.... This issue stems from one source and one source only....Humans.... Leave it to selfish, self-serving humans whose main concern is the almighty dollar bill and soon we will have no wildlife left to worry about..

Paul Bourgoin
Winter Habitat loss will push deer out of established wintering areas in order to survive looking elsewhere for food. There must be large clear-cuts, the use of herbicides reducing winter and spring deer food availability. The DNRE’s lack of manpower and productive management generates deer migrations into new feeding grounds. The deer should not be culled but should be managed to sustain our disappearing deer populations on the verge of non-existing in New Brunswick while our government looks the way!

"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.

“Silence Spreads In New Brunswick Forests” A story in the Globe and Mail, June 13, 1992, warns of Thousands of songbirds killed every year by Forestry spraying in New Brunswick”. As many as 175,000 birds die annually to avoid potential outbreaks of spruce budworm epidemic and also hard wood suppression. Today we know that pesticides also impacts on humans lives yet government tolerates as NB residents are exposed to herbicides and pesticides sprayed from the air for the last 30 years plus. The impact on Humans, the consequences versus forestry profits and habitat destruction, Human Lives should be the primary priority for New Brunswick Residents not Forestry profits. Where is the Political Conscience towards Human Life?

Study reveals Monsanto manipulated glyphosate approval process
Written by Dallas McQuarrie on August 13, 2018

in Environment, Health, New Brunswick, Rural - No comments

Leader, accepting another batch of petitions against spraying the
forest in 2016. Photo by Nick Hawkins.

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.

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

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 study which 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 records for 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 modeling and 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 hyperplasia in treated male and female rats at 50 V/m and a non-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.
