Safe Food Matters

🇨🇦 Should Canada be raising the bar on food safety—or lowering it? In this clip from Mary Lou’s interview with Keith Wiley of “The EcoCentric Radio Show,” she points out that Canada is choosing to align more closely with the U.S. and Australia on pesticide standards instead of following countries like France, which has taken a stronger stance to protect its food supply. Canada should be leading on food safety—not lowering the bar. Good policy shouldn’t depend on good intentions. Food safety protections should be written into law. Health Canada says, “Trust us?” We don’t think so. Put those protections in writing so Canadians can hold governments accountable!

Bill C-30 is now law. Safe Food Matters President Mary Lou McDonald explains why the legislation represents a significant shift in Canada’s approach to democracy and pesticides. Bill C-30 was rushed through Parliament as budget legislation despite containing major pesticide policy changes. The bill grants Cabinet sweeping powers to overrule scientific findings of harm, raising concerns about transparency, accountability, and the legitimacy of pesticide oversight in Canada. Watch to learn what these changes could mean and why public participation matters. 📄 Read Safe Food Matters’ submission on Bill C-30: https://safefoodmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/SFM-Submission-Bill-C-30.pdf The report outlines why Bill C-30 is illegal, unscientific and a mistake. 📝 Participate in Health Canada’s pesticide consultations: https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/consumer-product-safety/pesticides-pest-management/public/consultations.html Canadians have a voice. Make it heard.

Public health organizations call on federal government to stop weakening pesticide safeguards Omnibus legislation is ramming through Bills C-30 and C-31, which take away legal protections against pesticide risks...all in the name of undefined "economic security."

☠️🇨🇦 Why Does Canada Keep Toxic Pesticides on the Market? An eye-opening OpEd by Bruce Lanphear explores how pesticide regulation works in Canada — and why some chemicals linked to health and environmental concerns remain in use.

🚨If a pesticide is known to cause harm, is it OK to keep it on the market? New amendments buried in Bills C-30 and C-31 would give politicians the power to trump scientific findings of risk and also eliminate current mandatory scientific reviews and public input. Safe Food Matters is joining organizations across Canada 🇨🇦 in calling for these changes to be removed.

🇨🇦 Proposed Changes to Canada’s Pesticide Laws Bills C-30 and C-31 would make significant changes to Canada’s pesticide regulatory system. Bill C-30 would allow Politicians to override science-based pesticide decisions, while Bill C-31 would remove mandatory cyclical safety reviews and associated public input. Together, these changes weaken both scientific and democratic accountability in Canada, and favour pesticides over people. 🚨 Contact Your MP and ask them to oppose these changes. . . #PestControlProductsAct #Pesticides #BillC30 #BillC31 #Canada #SafeFoodMatters

🇨🇦🥩 Manufacturing Consent: Cloned Meat Is Coming and Canadians Aren’t Being Told the Full Story Health Canada laid the groundwork to allow cloned beef and pork into Canada’s food supply — without human safety trials, long-term animal studies or mandatory labelling. The policy may be “paused,” but the science hasn’t changed. Canadians were pushed to debate labels instead of asking the bigger question: Should cloned meat be approved at all?
