    Due to the combination of an unusually warm tropical Atlantic and relatively low likelihood of El Niño, an active hurricane season is predicted, continuing a 15-year period of high hurricane activity. Regardless of the overall number of storms forecast for the entire Atlantic Basin, the CHC responds to four or five tropical cyclone events each year, with one or two of those affecting Canadian soil, and another two or three threatening our offshore waters.

Notice in the petition it says Monsanto found loopholes, just needed to say the wealthy corporations who our politicians really work for, write all of these loopholes into pending legislation, not the middle class/not the poor, ceerist we can't have get labelling on gm foods. Politicians only need us on voting day to legitimize the policies and even then they cheat us.

For yourself and avoiding any Monsanto into your garden.


Avoid buying from the seed companies affiliated with Monsanto[. Here’s a list of these seed companies:http://www.seminis.com/global/us/products/Pages/Home-Garden.aspx]Buy from this list of companies Monsanto HASN’T bought and are not affiliated or do business with Seminis:http://www.occupymonsanto360.org/2012/03/06/monsanto-free-seed-companies/Avoid certain heirloom varieties because Monsanto now apparently owns the names. This article lists the seed varieties to avoid:http://www.occupymonsanto360.org/2012/03/17/monsanto-owned-seednames/Ask seed companies if they have taken the Safe Seed Pledge.

Hupacasath First Nation vs Canada China FIPPA
 
A Brief Overview
 
Prime Minister Stephen Harper signed this Canada China FIPA in Russia on September 9, 2012 at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit.
 
He then quietly tabled the Canada China FIPA on September 27, 2012 with NO DEBATE in the House of Commons, no parliamentary scrutiny and no provincial approval.
 
If ratified by cabinet and diplomatic notes are exchanged, the agreement will be irreversible for 31 years.
 
This is the biggest trade deal since NAFTA. Under Chapter 11 of NAFTA, 6 months notice can be given to exit. However, the Canada China FIPA locks Canada in for 31 years.
 
New powers will be granted to Chinese companies to sue the government of Canada if Canada’s laws hinder their expectation of profits.

*For example, when British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec oppose Enbridge pipelines, then China is permitted to sue the respective provinces for anticipated loss of profits ranging into billions of dollars.
 
SECRET TRIBUNALS outside of Canada’s jurisdiction will establish compensation for these companies with damages in the billions of dollars paid by Canadian Taxpayers.
 
The FIPA will undermine Canada’s ability to set environmental protections. Therefore, environmental legislation gutted in Omnibus Bills C-38 and C-45 may not be restored for the duration of the FIPA.
 
There are two parties that can stop this dangerous and extreme FIPA:

* one party is the premiers of each province (who have to date not stepped up to protect their citizens)

* the second party is the sovereign First Nations of Canada.

Add my name to the thankful/relieved list also, Debra.


And aside from the "sorta good news", how are you feeling? Are you able to be up and about and do things and take care of your family? (Of course, they're taking care of you too. )

 Monsanto Found Guilty of Chemical Poisoning in Landmark Case
 
A French farmer who can no longer perform his routine farming duties because of permanent pesticide injuries has had his day in court, literally, and the perpetrator of his injuries found guilty of chemical poisoning. The French court in Lyon ruled that Monsanto’s Lasso weedkiller formula, which contains the active ingredient alachlor, caused Paul Francois to develop lifelong neurological damage that manifests as persistent memory loss, headaches, and stuttering during speech.

Yes, I can only echo Alison's comments, and the others. I hadn't commented because I honestly didn't know what to write. I'm just thankful for this reprieve.
