Northern Pulp approved to spray glyphosate in Colchester, Halifax counties

Northern Pulp has provincial approval to spray over 1300 woodland hectares in Colchester and Halifax counties with glyphosate.  The practice is controversial as a 2015 WHO report said it’s likely to have carcinogenic effects on humans, but in May the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization said that’s not likely the case.
