Dear friends,
Over 3 million of us (including you!) signed the petition urging our governments to ban bee-killing pesticides, and it's turning into the biggest petition for bees ever!!
Now Canada's on the cusp on banning a terrifying chemical that's lethal for bees and other crucial insects. The government is getting push back from Big Ag, but they're running a consultation to hear from the public and weighing their options.
Canada cares about its global standing, and has taken a brave stand recently on other issues, like refugees. Let's inspire Canada's leaders to do it again for our planet -- and for the food security of future generations.
Click to send an urgent message now, then forward the email below to friends and family -- let's make our call to Canada impossible to ignore!

Bees are facing a giant global crisis that threatens our food supply. Now Canada is considering a game-changing ban on one of the worst bee-killing chemicals. But Big Ag is fighting back, and it's up to us to stop them. Let's back bees!! Click to sign the petition:
| Dear friends, Imidacloprid is a terrifying chemical used on much of the world's fruits and vegetables -- and it's threatening our web of life from bees to insects. Now Canada could ban it. They've opened a public comment period to help them decide, but industry bullies are lobbying to protect their multi billion-dollar product. Let's get Canada to stand strong! Add your name, and before the comment period closes, we'll send the government the biggest call ever to block the bullies and back the bees. Back the bees! Call on Canada to ban this chemical Bees and insects like mayflies and midges are remarkable creatures that create the building blocks for life on Earth. Bees alone pollinate nearly three-quarters of the world's key crops. But experts say imidacloprid is linked to colony collapse for bees and widespread loss of insect populations -- threatening our natural world and our food system.
Monsanto is vying to merge with Bayer, and Dow Chemical with DuPont. These beasts are growing in power, and pushing to keep their poison on the shelves. But Europe already stopped the use of this bee-killing chemical after Avaazers flooded ministers with thousands of messages. The next step is Canada. If we can close those markets, it could trigger a domino effect and get countries everywhere to follow suit.
Canada's public consultation could decide the fate of this poison -- if we weigh in big, and win, it could be huge for bees worldwide! The consultation closes soon -- add your name: Back the bees! Call on Canada to ban this chemical
