Have you ever heard of ‘wild parsnip’ before? Do you know what it looks like? For starters, it’s an invasive plant species, and its toxic sap can cause severe skin reactions. It can even cause temporary blindness. It is also spreading across Canada – specifically in PEI, BC, and right here in Ontario. Joining us in Hour 2 is Marc Cadotte, a Professor in Biological Sciences at the University of Toronto. He studies wild parsnip warnings, as well as the latest infestation upticks. In local news, residents on Fernbank Road are expressing their frustrations over an uptick in truck traffic. Following a recent news report by CTV’s Dylan Dyson, more residents have chimed in through our email inbox. Karen, who has spent multiple decades living near the area, pays us a visit.
