Canada's pesticide regulator was 'captured by industry' from day one
Canada's pesticide regulator was 'captured by industry' from day one
"It's like pesticides have constitutional rights and they are innocent until proven guilty," said Elizabeth May, the federal Green Party leader, who first entered politics in the 1980s to fight excessive pesticide use.
It feels like there is too much regulatory capture here.
CRTC, who ever the fuck is supposed to look at oil and gas, groceries, land development...
The people who sold their souls to permit poisons are guilty of murder.
Proposal: any person in any position to regulate, amend, approve, or execute any task, product, method, means, or be potentially rewarded by those with financial ties to the former, be banned from trading ANY stocks; barred for life from employed in executive, consulting, board positions, or in any other way, in any way relating or associated with the former; must be subject to quarterly audits during tenure, and biannual for 20 years after; they must have all personal and private communication be recorded and archived for the duration of their post and subject to examination for 10 years after. (The good bribes are usually after the work is done)
Breach of these conditions is a mandatory minimum of 25 years. No parole.
Each regulatory body must have an oversight panel of 12 citizens randomly selected (like jury duty), rotating each year so to avoid their being corrupted, with authority to examine everything the regulator has access to.
