VIDEO — Monsanto GMO Crops and The Clarks Companies in ONTARIO
by Frankie Gotz
Canadian Awareness Network
May 25, 2013
THE CLARK COMPANIES is well known corporation in it’s local domain within Haldimand County and the surrounding area. THE CLARK COMPANIES head office is in Caledonia Ontario and is made of a family of Canadian companies located in Southern Ontario, involved in many aspects of agricultural production and related agriculture-business world wide.
This corporation is one of it’s biggest kinds in Canada, they produce a lot of food in meat and crop. largest producer of poultry in Canada and they sell seeds to thousands of farmers that supply crops for the food industry. It just so happens that CLARKS sells Genetically Modified Crops short form is GM Crops.
GM Crops are genetically modified organisms. These crops are the result of a laboratory process of taking genes from one species and inserting them into another species, splicing and mixing DNA. It is done so the plant can produce it’s own insecticide or be able to live in conditions such as tolerating large amounts of herbicides such as RoundUp which is exactly the type of GM crop CLARK’s sells.
Monsanto is the corporation that first genetically engineered corn in the 1990′s so that it could be resistant to the company’s herbicide “RoundUp”. That means one can spray as much RoundUp around their crop and it will have no effect on it because the GMO corn has the DNA of glyphosate, the active ingredient in RoundUp, combined in with the DNA with the GMO corn, and that is why they are resistant to the herbicide roundup.
GMOs are not good for our health. They can cause Food Allergies. Some plants produce toxins but the levels are too low to damage humans. GM a plant can increase toxicity in plants and studies have shown that by consuming GMO plants people are risking Antibiotic resistance, meaning GM plant can be tested by growing it in a solution containing the corresponding antibiotic. If the plant survives scientists know that it has taken up the antibiotic resistance gene along with the desired gene. There is concern that bacteria living in the guts of humans and animals could pick up an antibiotic resistance gene from a GM plant before the DNA becomes completely digested .
A presentation at a news conference in London with
Gilles-Eric Seralini of the University of Caen and colleagues said rats fed on a diet containing NK603 – a seed variety made tolerant to dousings of Roundup – or given water containing Roundup at levels permitted in the United States died earlier than those on a standard diet.
The animals on the GM diet suffered mammary tumours, as well as severe liver and kidney damage.
In my opinion it is hard to find organic corn in these days. Clarks and other companies sell genetically modified corn that can tolerate Monsanto’s herbicide known as roundup and millions of people are consuming them and they don’t even know it.
Also the herbicide RoundUp itself has dangers to be used in fields. A recent peer-review study published by scientists Anthony Samsel and Stephanie Seneff in the Entropy Journal on April 18th 2013, suggests that heavy use of Roundup, could lead to health problems such as gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, depression, autism, infertility, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease,
So eating GM crop alone is unhealthy but with the combination of RoundUp ingredients being in the soil and on the plant itself is a combination of death.
I wish farmers would just pay alittle more and go all organic so we can all eat healthy. Its all up to the farmers in the end to take care of health needs. If they’re not doing their job right then they should retire from their positions.
In some parts of the European Union growing GM crops have been banned.
In Canada we are fighting hard to label them but it seems there isn’t enough effort being pushed to ban them.
Heirloom or heritage seeds are seeds that have been kept and bred before all GMO and hybrids came into existence. The corn supply has become nearly extinct.

TV Ontario interview on electricity distribution and smart grid

The Agenda with Steve Paikin: David McFadden: Electricity’s Smart Future
TVO | May 1, 2013
David J. McFadden, co-author of the “Renewing Ontario’s Electricity Distribution Sector” report, discusses Ontario’s uniquely complex and inefficient electricity system, and what needs to change so that it can support the province’s economic future.
The guest is talking about reducing the number of power distribution systems to a much smaller number. Would this require seizing control over them by a centralized government-empowered monopoly? He hopes it can be done voluntarily. I guess the corporatocracy can do whatever it wants – eventually.
This whole discussion is about smart meters and smart grid. The most stomach-churning part of the interview is when he paints smart meters as a way of providing more choice to consumers. But of course it is an invasion of privacy and is going to allow remote interference and monitoring of our power use.
Please note: He expects everyone to have electric cars in the future – for some reason – actually because our society is centrally planned more than ever. And every night when we plug in our car, it might disrupt the old-style power grid. This is one of his explanations for why we need the smart grid.
Talk about collectivism! You’d think by now we could all have our own independent power source! But everything is moving in the opposite direction. Isn’t it amazing?
If you plug your car in, you might disrupt the network, or we might need to drain off some of your power, so therefore you must have the smart grid. Don’t you want to live in a utopia?
So we’re talking about massive centralization of our electricity system, as well as electronic surveillance and control over our energy use.
In my opinion, this is actually just getting us ready for not having enough energy – or enough money to pay for more expensive energy. And one reason for centralization and the smart grid is to “efficiently” manage an artificially created scarcity of electricity – caused by shutting down coal plants for instance.
And all of this is going to be sold to us as “choice” – as if we have a choice – with never-ending streams of propaganda telling us how empowered we are.
‘Canadians express anger at govt. on Twitter’

Thousands of Canadians have turned to Twitter to express their anger with the shortcomings of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government and called on him to resign, Press TV reports.
Canadian Twitter users have texted the message “#PMHarperMustResign” for shortcomings of the government, including the ruling Conservative Party’s election fraud, abuse of aboriginal peoples, and senate expense scandals.
However, the main reason behind the anger seems to be Chief of Staff Nigel Wright’s admission that he cut a check for $90,000 to repay the fraudulent expense claims of a Conservative senator.
”Quite frankly I think the only thing that really … do justice to the situation we have right now is for Harper to be arrested and put on trial for high treason against Canada. That’s the only think that will justify, that’s the only thing that’ll bring true justice to the situation. He is guilty of high treasons against this country,” said Thomas Stone, journalist and political analyst.”
The Canadians Twitter users have also criticized the Harper government for its one-sided support for Israel.
Twitter users have blamed the prime minister “For putting the interests of Israel before those of Canada” and have accused him of “showing total disregard to Palestinian’s rights and freedoms and supporting Israel’s Human rights abuses.”

Buskers need to unite under single banner before city talks bylaw, says councillor

The city’s buskers better band together and begin speaking with one voice, or risk never reopening the debate around a controversial ByWard Market bylaw that has left some of them literally voiceless, said Councillor Mathieu Fleury Wednesday.
Early Wednesday morning, one of Fleury’s aids sent off a letter to busking chess champ Daryl Bertrand, who has been slapped with multiple $260 fines for busking without a licence, laying out that the councillor and city “need to have a coordinated approach if we choose to modify the existing ByWard Market bylaw.”
First enforced in 2010, the bylaw requires all buskers in the market to pay a fee of $50 for a license and daily busking permits that start at $10.45 and can cost as much as $200. It also requires them to cycle through a series of 12 stations where they can only perform for one hour.
In recent weeks, Fleury’s aid wrote in the letter, that the Councillor has met with multiple buskers with differing points of view, especially on the issue of voice amplification. Bertrand said that some buskers “are concerned about voice amplification as they play instruments and don’t want any other amplification that could cost them business.”
It is a short-sighted approach, he said, “as more buskers means more people, which means more money.”

A Durham Region police officer threatened to beat up a man and plant cocaine on him during a one-sided, expletive-filled confrontation, a graphic video shows.
“I hurt people . . . and then I make their cocaine f—ing appear,” the armed constable barks into the face of the burly, young man. “You see how I work. . . . See what I do.”

The 8½-minute video, which appeared recently on YouTube, also features the constable appearing to provoke the bald man into hitting him during the sometimes tense grilling beside a house in Oshawa in late 2011.
