The million dollar question is, what are we prepared to do about it?

André Comeau got fired as an ag-scientist in Canada because of his stand and effort to find a way to grow wheat without using glyphosate or other herbicides. Canadian government fired him. He sacrificed his career but did not change his opinion that toxic chemicals in food system is unhealthy and should not be supported.

Not everyone needs to be fired. But it is my opinion that this problem is political, i.e. our politicians are extremely corrupt, across all party lines, that we do not have an effective democratic system, that the people are ultimately at fault for this sorry state of affairs, and that the ultimate solution, if Canada and the world is to be saved, will have to come from ordinary citizens.

Citizen activists will need to stand up to fight the this toxic avalanche enabled by our government, and shift focus away from Monsanto, Bayer and other corporations. People will have to change focus and recognize their own politicians as parties responsible for the poisoning of Canada.

The people will have to find a way to put the fear of God into future aspiring politicians, so that a new generation of them can be in government, whose primary job would be what the constitution says, i.e. follow the wish of the people and work for the greater good of the people, and not work for the profit of corporations.

It is not upto NGOs, talking heads, anti-GMO gurus, various group leaders, authors of books, internet clean food promoters, product pedlars or anybody else’s responsibility to save our nation and our planet. It is our job.

The buck stops are our feet – at your feet if you are reading this.

My perpetual question to the people are – what are you prepared to do ?

I am invited to address a crowd of educated Bengali intelligentsia tonight in Kolkata, India – and my ultimate question to them too will be the same.

• It is not alright to just be aware of glyphosate.
• It is not alright to just avoid glyphosate and eat organic.
• It is not alright to just hate Monsanto.

My crying question to every listener remains : what are you prepared to do about it other than saving your own family by eating organic? What are you prepared to do to save your nation and your planet?

You need to do whatever you can within your means, individually & personally. If you do not do it, no one else might.

The buck, at the end of the day, stops are our feet.

I am pretty passionate, so readers may forgive my strong tone. I am not looking for followers. I am not forming an NGO for others to join me. I do not pretend to be a leader of a group. My posts are not to increase my visibility or to promote any product. I shall not ask anybody to give me any money or donation. Been there done that.

My sole aim for being on Facebook, far as glyphosate goes, is to show how ordinary citizens, without people support, without money, without legal help, without political power, cans till confront their nonplussed or crooked politicians, still confront their non-functioning governments, and still hope to achieve some result, no matter how small that might be, towards fighting this chemical attack on the planet.

I give personal examples of whatever I do, so that a few others might take example and try to do similar things within their own capacity, in their own regions, in their own unique ways.

As Marganet Meade said : Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.

So, if you do not believe me, thats OK. Believe Margaret Meade and show what you are prepared to do.

Thank you.
