The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is asking Canadians to keep an eye out for an invasive bug that could spell disaster for the country's wineries and fruit growers.

The spotted lanternfly is a pest native to China that has been making inroads in the United States since 2014.But in early September, hundreds of adults were found in a residential area in Buffalo, N.Y., just 45 km away from the Canadian border.

"We're becoming more and more concerned about the proximity to Canada, and particularly our grape-growing industries, because this is a pest that has had significant impacts on the grape and fruit industry in the United States," said Diana Mooij, a specialist in the invasive alien species program within the CFIA.

"This is a pest that unfortunately can travel on all kinds of things," she said. "It doesn't just travel on plants, it can travel on shipping containers and trucks and cars and camping gear.

Take a look at who is PM 1. 2, look at the stupid policies Trudeau has brought into the CAFs! WOKE HAS ARRIVED. As a veteran I wouldn’t sign up today, it’s a different environment. I mean- if it takes a year or more to get a job can anyone actually be surprised?
