History repeating. Cleary is only the latest Canadian scientist or govt rep to be fired while studying synthetic chemical / novel food technologies. New Brunswick's chief medical officer of health is fired while studying glyphosate.
"The reason for Cleary's dismissal in December has never been stated."
Department of Health officials have only said it was a personnel matter and Health Minister Victor Boudreau told reporters the decision was not politically motivated.
Cleary was studying the potential public health impact of the controversial herbicide glyphosate when she was put on leave in November 2015.
Months after her firing, she's being recognized for "her outstanding contribution to public health and preventive medicine" by the Public Health Physicians of Canada.
Cleary is one of two people to receive the group's President's Award..."

Regarding the "evidence" Health Canada told Rachel Parent #righttoknow it requires but refuses to look at... The evidence is available for all to see with a simple google search.

Conclusion: "Glyphosate is pervasive in the food supply, and chronic exposure will lead to slow accumulation of damaged proteins, systemically. Fibrillary plaques and tangles intransigent to proteolysis may be due to glyphosate substitution for conserved glycines, accounting for multiple neurological diseases. Impairment in dimerization, membrane attachment, cytoskeleton attachment and active site flexibility are some of the defects we anticipate. Some consequences are impaired fatty acid release leading to obesity, impaired insulin receptor response leading to diabetes, impaired one-carbon metabolism leading to neural tube defects and autism, impaired oxidative phosphorylation causing mitochondrial disorders, impaired Nrf2 regulation leading to hyperkeratosis and fatty liver disease, impaired cell cycle control during DNA synthesis, impaired collagen cross- linking, and disregulated phosphorylation cascades leading to cancer, lung disorders, and autoimmune diseases. These effects easily account for the multitude of diseases and conditions whose incidence is rising in the USA and elsewhere, in step with the rise in the use of glyphosate on core crops. We urge regulatory agencies
worldwide to take action to remove these synthetic amino acids not only from the food supply but from our biosphere"https://www.researchgate.net/.../305318376_Glyphosate...

Let's hope this testing of glyphosate will not be at the hands of biotech who have been caught multiple times to be manipulating studies. FDA=Monsanto revolving door. Keep a close eye on this one.
The rate of "Herbicide Resistant" GMO crops has skyrocketed in the last 20 years. The use of synthetic chemical "icides" has been skyrocketing right along side. USDA chart:
"We know that glyphosate cause cancer in other mammals, but it has not been demonstrated in humans. This is because the effects have not been investigated thoroughly enough in people yet.
But when we see that other mammals get cancer from glyphosate, we must assume that people who are exposed to the substance can also develop cancer.”

"“We believe there is a great deal of evidence that suggests Monsanto was clearly aware of the hazards presented by glyphosate,” said environmental attorney Thomas Sims of Baron & Budd. “Whenever a corporation introduces a harmful product to the public, it must be held responsible for any illnesses that product causes.”"http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160125006354/en/
Monsanto's glyphosate and "GMO will be next" BREAKING: Seattle becomes the 6th major U.S. city to sue Monsanto for toxic (Monsanto) PCB contamination.https://www.facebook.com/GMOFreeUSA/photos/a.468695639837571.108816.402058139834655/1141438719229923/?type=3&theater

BREAKING: Seattle becomes the 6th major U.S. city to sue Monsanto for toxic PCB contamination. READ the news... http://www.seattletimes.com/…/seattle-sues-monsanto-seekin…/
PCBs have been demonstrated to cause a variety of adverse health effects. PCBs have been shown to cause cancer in animals. PCBs have also been shown to cause a number of serious non-cancer health effects in animals, including effects on the immune system, reproductive system, nervous system, endocrine system and other health effects. Monsanto knowingly continued to profit from their sale for years even as it knew the chemicals were polluting the environment, causing harm to people and wildlife. SOUND FAMILIAR?
" Independent Scientists Manifesto on Glyphosate
More than 80 scientists worldwide are calling on governments at all levels to ban the spraying of glyphosate herbicides, based on overwhelming evidence of harm from scientific studies and witness testimonies compiled by the group"http://www.i-sis.org.uk/Independent_Scientists_Manifesto...

INTERSEX FISH: 85% of male smallmouth bass tested in or nearby 19 National Wildlife Refuges in the U.S. Northeast had signs of female reproductive parts, according to a new federal study. The study, led by the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, also reported that 27% of male largemouth bass in the testing sites were intersex. The study is the first of its kind in National Wildlife Refuges and adds to growing evidence that endocrine disrupting chemicals are getting into U.S. lakes, rivers, streams and reservoirs - no matter how protected the waters seem. But yet, the researchers didn't test for chemicals in the water. WE'LL GIVE THE GOVERNMENT A HINT: It's probably glyphosate and atrazine, the two most widely used, toxic, endocrine-disrupting herbicides in the U.S. Made by, yours truly, Monsanto and Syngenta. But that's probably why they didn't test the waters. Protecting GMO/agrichemical industry profits over the People's and environmental health. TEST THE WATERS. Then shut down Monsanto and Syngenta.
USDA tests for hundreds of pesticide residues but not glyphosate, which is among the most widely used chemicals on our food crops,” http://usrtk.org/.../usda-shirking-obligation-to-give.../
The study highlights the ubiquitous contamination of the environment with glyphosate herbicides at ever increasing levels. This herbicide is highly toxic to humans, farm animals, and wildlife, and at levels as low as 0.1 ppb; there is indeed a strong case for halting its use altogether (see [6] Ban GMOs Now, Special ISIS report). http://www.i-sis.org.uk/Widespread_Glyphosate...
Monsanto gets sued for falsely advertising glyphosate as non-toxic to humans! http://bit.ly/1EgM2KG
EPA’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) filed its ‘notice of intent to list’ glyphosate to be a known cancer agent. http://www.ewao.com/.../monsanto-stunned-california.../
ow! 20 year old guidelines (as old as the first GMO to hit the market) and only patent-holder study (all too often caught manipulated). Released as "substantially equivalent" to real food with no safety testing, "Novel Foods" that express 6 dif. pesticides and a live bacterium (BT designed to blow open the stomachs of bugs) in every cell of it's DNA - see: Smart Stacks and BT GMO toxicology studies)

Heath Canada had no answers to why this "technology" rips up my gut when i discovered organics do not. So I scratched the surface and compiled the independent studies for them. To me, what Health Canada is doing looks like gross negligence.

Health Canada admits on their own website that their guidelines for GMO is as old as the technology itself, using data submitted by the patent holder of the GMO. Canadian's safety Guidelines were written long before GMO was "Smart Stacked" with multiple pesticides, insecticides and live bacterium built into the DNA of every GMO plant cell. With no independent safety testing, if biotech has been caught on multiple occasions to be fudging their studies, are Canadians food safety regulators just lip service?
In light of these shocking oversights by regulators, the precautionary principal most developed countries use in restricting or banning GMO seems the safer practice when choosing what we eat.

Americans should not have to pay higher prices for the exact same drugs than our Canadian neighbors simply because Congress is bought and paid for by the powerful pharmaceutical industry.
