Canada: Dr. Joe Schwarcz, McGill University’s Renowned “Popularizer of Science,” Shills for Monsanto

Dr. Joe Schwarcz of Montreal’s McGill University is a well-known media “popularizer of science,” and clearly on someone’s payroll.

Whose: A consortium of biotechnology companies, including Monsanto (see funding data below).

Frightening to consider that Dr. Schwarcz – a paid public diplomat for Monsanto – “interprets science” for the public.

Dr. Schwarzc has stalked and libelled anti-aspartame activists, smeared GM opponent/canola farmer Percy Schmeiser (see below). He has even harassed me, on occasion, with misplaced, adolescent ridicule.
