Canada Cold Face To The World

These attempts to control the food supply must be stopped! I can't understand why there isn't more uproar over these issues!

If I stand for my country today...will my country be here to stand for me tomorrow?

I don't think people get it. People that are not connected with growing anything DO NOT GET IT! I don't think people understand that these kinds of foreign policies that Canada supports are the "bully terrorist" acts of Canada/USA that in turn create "underprivileged and unrespected terrorists" that we then slap in torture chambers around the world.

When are we going to get it right?

Why no more uproar?
Think obesity,suv,walmart.Buy,buy,buy.
Sad the world is dumming down.The public prefers reality tv to reality.
We eat too much,shop too much,spend too much,drive too much,avoid reality too much,don`t care too much.

I'll hazard a guess.

I'll first confess that I have in the past been as guilty as anyone else in pronouncing judgements re: other people's apathy, lack of interest, etc.

One of my many failings is an almost complete withdrawal from mainstream media, so I may be speaking out of term or missing the boat entirely.

I know I've come across references to the GM issue through the years.

I'm wondering whether these have ever received any sort of prolonged mainstream media attention in Canada that would put the issue in most people's faces over an extended period of time and give them the impression there was cause for concern, other than that which might arise from consumption of GM food products? Are there any well-known mainstream media figures that champion the issue. Are most Canadians even aware there is an issue and, if so, have the potential impacts on their own future ever been clearly explained to them?

If not, why would people be concerned, or even know there was anything to be concerned about. Why would they have reason to question whether their government's decisions in respect of GM, and other issues, are really those which reflect the values and future interests of all Canadians and the world or are rather more in the nature of dancing to the tune of corporate pipers?

I wonder because on the few occasions I turn on the news, read the paper, most of the 'on-going issue' type of stuff seems the same close to home type issues, e.g., economy, drugs, smoking, health (stress, obesity, etc,); same 'experts' yapping and the same time-worn conclusion for each.

Government and the media essentially decide what 'problems' will be raised in the public consciousness, and which won't. So how are people to know there's a problem if it's never brought to their attention, or when it is, government, media and corporate culture downplay it and assure the country all is well?

I posted a few links related to GM in the 'If we were all self-sufficient' thread.

Dear, sweet Calumny,

I am making mention of these two one hour programs all over the Vive site that Vision Network will have on: March 16 10pm EST called "DECONSTRUCTING SUPPER". This show has been around on different networks for a while but is really worthwhile I thought. Then March 23, 10pm EST one called "A PASSIONATE VOICE FOR THE FARMER: THE STORY OF NETTIE WIEBE". And ya know, David Suzuki's Nature of Things has been one of the most consistent sources for information on what governments have been doing to ruin our food sources. They should all be jailed in my opinion. I've always considered the pollution of our planet and our food supply at the hands of corporations to be a crime against humanity and yet we'll subsidize them to do it.
