The goal? **To wipe out almost all trees except for a few species valued for the logging industry**. **Glyphosate — the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup —** **poisons the land and disrupts the balance of forests**. \[1\] Diverse ecosystems that serve the needs of First Nations, local communities and countless plants, animals and insects, are turned into near monocultures that serve one need: **a logging company’s** **cheapest way to turn profit**. In Ontario, First Nations have been calling for an end to glyphosate spraying for decades. Groups like the TEK Elders have been sounding the alarm on **plummeting numbers of beaver, porcupine, birds, and bees**. \[2\] The widespread changes in the forest impact First Nations’ relationship with their traditional territories.  **Yet, Premier Doug Ford is refusing to listen** — once again choosing to put industry profits over the environment, Indigneous rights, and the health of Ontarians. **Spraying Ontario’s precious forests with glyphosate is completely unnecessary.** Quebec banned all herbicides for forestry in 2001, and Ontario could easily follow and set the example for other Canadian provinces. \[3\]  **United, we have the power to stop "the rain of death".** Ontario's forests are already in terrible shape after repeated attacks by the Ford government. \[4\]  **Let's push Doug Ford to ban glyphosate spraying today!** \[1\] [https://rabble.ca/news/2021/05/stopping-rain-death-canadas-forests](https://rabble.ca/news/2021/05/stopping-rain-death-canadas-forests) \[2\] [http://tekelders.weebly.com/position-paper.html](http://tekelders.weebly.com/position-paper.html) \[3\] [https://mern.gouv.qc.ca/english/publications/forest/publications/Roy-A.pdf](https://mern.gouv.qc.ca/english/publications/forest/publications/Roy-A.pdf) \[4\] [https://nationalobserver.com/2020/06/30/news/ontario-extends-logging-industry-exemption-endangered-species-law](https://www.nationalobserver.com/2020/06/30/news/ontario-extends-logging-industry-exemption-endangered-species-law)   ## Sign This Petition supporter has signed supporters have signed needed to reach Friend, thank you for signing the petition!
