No it isn't , glyphosate persists in the environment and is a known carcinogen according to the USA EPA
Do you actually have any idea how much roundup is sprayed in all of rural Alberta on a yearly basis?
And now tree planters need chemical suits or they're going to die after a single application? haha
Glyphosate persists in the environment? How so?
Not that I am a fan of chemicals (herbicides, pesticides), they are somewhat of a necessary evil.

A study in BC found moose were eating aspen and willow shrubs after spraying the carcinogen Round-up. They get a severe dose in their system and were actually becoming thin and eventually die off. The technical paper was presented at last trappers annual meeting in Westlock. What a terrible world we are leaving for our grandchildren just to get a cheap 2x4.
Let's see this study. Post it up!!!
All that after a single application of roundup...funny stuff

By the time the tree planters come in, it will be long gone. What do you think all the agricultural land is sprayed with every single year? Often more than once. One of the safer herbicides used actually. 2-4D's and such concern me more. So no, they aren't playing around in it and needing chemical suits. I spray it on my driveway numerous times a year
That certainly is a very relaxed attitude towards glyphosate, a known carcinogen.
The agricultural use, especially as a desiccant, baffles my mind.
I have a pesticide applicator certificate. I have access to all of the controlled products because of my training. A farmer can buy all of the same products without any training. Bizarre
I know around here before they spray they announce it in the newspapers and open it up for objection by interested parties.
If hunters and sportsmen are concerned someone should raise a public formal objection and let it run it's course.
I think they just continue doing it because nobody ever responds with any objections.
Could be time to organize something but that's just socialist thinking.
So I guess we will just let them do what they want so we can enjoy our cancer and forest fires.
