Secret Cabinet Papers Warn Canada Off Gm Wheat

I know I mentioned this before, but again I think this is another way to make a strong Canadian industry totally reliant on the US market. Many European countries have stated that they don`t want genetically modified wheat from Canada. Canada ships huge amounts of wheat to many countries, and Canadian wheat has a strong reputation as being high in protein and baker friendly. The US does not object to genetically modified products. The Canadian government is also quietly aiding the Monsanto corporation in pressuring Canadian wheat farmers into growing their GM wheat. The GM wheat is more expensive to plant, and many farmers in Canada already say they can`t afford it, nor can they afford to see their wheat sales decline when other countries refuse to buy it. So more farmers will be forced off the land and mega corporate farms will take their land to grow their stuff. Farmers that do survive this will be subject to the whims and moods of the US market, while a lucrative diverse world market will be squandered in Avro Arrow fashion!

I agree with you there Dave. (Twice in one month!!) GM food eeeeevil (puts pinky finger to corner of mouth).<p> As a sort of on topic aside - Chemical and Agriculture researchers at the U of A have made Plastic from Canola oil. 20 times cheaper than Dinosaur oil, biodegradeable and renewable. Cool, eh!<p> <p>---<br>"History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme" Mark Twain

If that\'s true, then U of A researchers could have hit a gold-vein.

Yes, it would seem there is more than one way to take over control of a country, and they seem to have many methods in their collective bag of tricks!!

Of course it's true. Would I lie? <p> </i><a href='http://www.gene.ch/genet/2003/Jun/msg00048.html'>A University of Alberta researcher</a> has turned canola into a biodegradable plastic. As well, the industry is lobbying Ottawa to make a canola additive mandatory in diesel. The sulphur pollutants in diesel can be reduced by between 60 and 90 per cent, but the more sulphur that's removed, the drier the fuel becomes, wearing out the engine.<p> That effect can be counteracted by the canola additive, making a "biodiesel."</i><p> <br> Ignore the GM crap. I'd also reccomment googling for "biodiesel" as it's a big up-and coming fuel from Canlola. It's easier to produce using waste oil from french fry joints.<p> And:<p> </i><a href='http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2003/10/031020054036.htm'>A team of researchers in the Faculty of Engineering</a> at the University of Alberta (U of A) has discovered a new way of generating electricity from flowing water. It may soon be possible to never have to charge up a cellular phone again instead, the phone could be fitted with a battery that uses pressurized water.</i><p> The U of A ROCKS!<p><p>---<br>"History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme" Mark Twain

Yeah, this is all cool! The U of A does indeed, seem to ROCK!!
