Dear All,

This week we are very excited about some steps in the right direction up
here in Canada -- province of Ontario is looking to restrict the use of
neonicotinoids:

1)

2)

Plus, Friends of the Earth Canada <http://foecanada.org/en/> completed a
pilot study similar to the American counterpart's pilot study last year,
which found (unsurprisingly) that some garden nursery plants contain
neonics (click on hyperlink if further interested).


Best regards,
KiM
