Over the last two decades, neonicotinoid pesticides, or neonics, have swiftly become the most widely used class of insecticides globally. Unfortunately for our pollinators, neonics are very efficient at dealing death. Story here.

To fight wildfires and heat waves, Manitoba needs a climate plan

CCPA 














FACING a record-breaking heat wave in early May, Manitoba has had a devastating start to its unofficial fifth season — fire season — as wildfires continue to ravage communities and smoke blankets much of the province. Climate change is no longer a distant problem for future generations — it is here now. Story here.

This is the email I sent to government officials in Manitoba, informing them of my new book which had already been up on line for weeks.

"Dear Premier Wab Kinew and Honourable Ministers, please download my new book,'The Merchants of Menace. How Puppets in Government and Some in Academe are Helping Corporate Hog Producers Have Their Way in Manitoba, Canada. A Tragedy.' This is a work of non-fiction. So please bring any inaccuracies to my attention and they will be corrected. If no substantive mistakes can be found, I expect a donation. Thank you for your interest."

In addition to the Premier, I copied several Ministers, including Ag., Health & Environment. That was over a month ago. So far, stony silence - no corrections and no donations!

Silly me! I forgot! POLITICIANS DON'T READ!
