The game is over for Canola however. I did not know about the anti GM meetings. Although you know we do have to remember that we are saving seeds, to be as genetically pure as possible for the future. It is just that we have to deal with the here and NOW in regards to this issue. Many farmers have lost a lot of money because of the EU's embargo against Canola. Believe it or not but there is a general ground swell of support against Monsanto because they rightly so have taken the blame for the embargo.

The Council of Canadians organized a speaker tour in the western provinces to rally support against GM wheat. The tour ran from late Feb. through last week, but no news of it here in the east (where we only care about potatoes). Did anyone (Eric?) attend any of these meetings?
It seems to me the GM cat is out of the bag, pollution-wise, and people will be forced into a further compromised definition of organic (re: acceptable amount of contamination).
