1. We know that genetically modified crops have never been tested in Canada for human safety. Results from Europe are showing that ingestion of these crops has been linked to kidney and liver damage
2. We know that the use of GMO corn, soy & canola have increased the use of pesticides and have caused the emergence of resistant weeds &insects
3. We know that Round-Up is not the benign pesticide that industry claims it is. The active ingredient, glyphosate, has been detected in human urine and has been linked to birth defects.
For all of these reasons, and many others, we ask that the Regional & Municipal governments support a resolution to ban the growing of genetically modified crops within the Comox Valley.
We, the undersigned, are opposed to the growing and raising of genetically engineered plants, trees, and animals. We ask our local
governments to do all in their power to protect their citizens, land, and water from the serious, negative and unknown effects of genetic
engineering.
