by Larry Powell Manitoba's Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development, Ron Kostychyn, (r.) is a liar. Way back in September of 2012 (over 1 1/2 years ago) , Kostyshyn promised me he would read a peer-reviewed article I had written. Entitled "Field of Nightmares ." It appeared in the well-respected Canadian journal "Alternatives - Canada's Environmental Voice." It documented much of the research which has been done, linking the popular herbicide "Roundup" to adverse effects on the health of livestock, wildlife, crops and even humans . It also placed the official position of the Government of Canada on the record, which was , it was " aware of the research, but, i t did not raise immediate risk concerns that would have triggered regulatory action.”
