Tell the federal government to finish the job on “forever chemicals”
It’s time for Canada to act on toxic “forever chemicals.” PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals,” are toxic, don’t break down, and are building up in our bodies and environment.

PFAS or "forever chemicals" are in cosmetics, furniture and food packaging. They don’t break down, pollute water, build up in our bodies and are linked to cancer, fertility and developmental issues.

What now? We expect for Health Canada to quickly and transparently review glyphosate risks. Failure to do so could damage trust in Canada’s regulatory system and create trade risks, especially as the EU plans to limit imports of foods with banned pesticides.

Congrats to France! Still waiting for my home country, Canada, to get on with banning PFAS after years of study.
The French ban of some "forever chemicals" or #PFAS, highly harmful substances for human health and the environment, is a good step in the right direction, although it fails to cover some very relevant economic sectors. Decisive EU action is needed to protect citizens. @nicolas-thierry.bsky.social
