🇨🇦 Should Canada be raising the bar on food safety—or lowering it? In this clip from Mary Lou’s interview with Keith Wiley of “The EcoCentric Radio Show,” she points out that Canada is choosing to align more closely with the U.S. and Australia on pesticide standards instead of following countries like France, which has taken a stronger stance to protect its food supply. Canada should be leading on food safety—not l…

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate. It is computed over the 1 of 2 measured posts that carry a reaction reading, and over those same posts' views.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

Measured directly from 7 videos with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.
Reaction mix
7 reactions across 6 posts, in 5 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 28.6% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 6 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 7reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 22 March 2026 to 5 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

Bill C-30 is now law. Safe Food Matters President Mary Lou McDonald explains why the legislation represents a significant shift in Canada’s approach to democracy and pesticides. Bill C-30 was rushed through Parliament as budget legislation despite containing major pesticide policy changes. The bill grants Cabinet sweeping powers to overrule scientific findings of harm, raising concerns about transparency, accountab…

🚨If a pesticide is known to cause harm, is it OK to keep it on the market? New amendments buried in Bills C-30 and C-31 would give politicians the power to trump scientific findings of risk and also eliminate current mandatory scientific reviews and public input. Safe Food Matters is joining organizations across Canada 🇨🇦 in calling for these changes to be removed. Read more: 🔗 https://safefoodmatters.org/2026/05…

🇨🇦 Proposed Changes to Canada’s Pesticide Laws Bills C-30 and C-31 would make significant changes to Canada’s pesticide regulatory system.

Together, these changes weaken both scientific and democratic accountability in Canada, and favour pestici…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @safefoodmatters. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
