On Halloween, over a hundred protesters gathered in Montreal and Ottawa to express their concerns about the use of pesticides. The event featured participants dressed in Halloween costumes who performed a 'die-in'—a form of protest where individuals lie down to symbolize the impact of pesticides. In Montreal, the demonstrators gathered in front of Health Canada's offices, specifically near the Guy-Favreau complex in the downtown area. Their actions aimed to highlight the message that 'pesticides kill,' reflecting a growing concern about environmental issues and public health related to pesticide usage. The protest aligns with broader discussions in Canada regarding agricultural practices and regulations involving chemical use, which have been subjects of public debate and political discourse in recent years.
