Codex Alimentarious and Nuticide

I just watch on youtube a lecture from a Dr Laidlore it helps fill in all the gaps in relation to current Canadian changes in requirements to standards in food production.  I suggest you watch it, because you an't seen nothing yet, to come, in regards to your farm practices and production. The best cons are carried out with your compliance.

In the video it shows a food CoOp been raided by the police with gun drawn. But this can't happen in Canada, remember the Armish farmer selling milk.

While you were busy shopping for your Chistmas gifts, your neighbour south of the border signied off on the food safety act on the 22 December 2010. You now work for the UN. Any produce to be exported to the USA is now subjected to their food safety laws. What does it mean for Canada well, extra costs for inspections, farm inspections, and fees for a start.  As they say the USA gets a snease the rest of us gets the cold.

I think it is something we all should spending more time evaluating.

 

Bill S.510.Section 305 is entitled "BUILDING CAPACITY OF FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS WITH RESPECT TO FOOD SAFETY" and it gives the FDA authority to set up offices in foreign countries and then dictate the food safety plans of foreign governments.

SEC. 308. FOREIGN OFFICES OF THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION.
(a) IN GENERAL. - The Secretary shall establish offices of the FDA in foreign countries selected by the Secretary.

It then goes on to say:

(a) The Secretary shall, not later than 2 years of the date of enactment of this Act, develop a comprehensive plan to expand the technical, scientific, and regulatory food safety  capacity of foreign governments, and their respective food industries, from which foods are exported to the United States.
Sec. 305 includes;
(c) Plan - The plan developed under subsection (a) shall include, as appropriate, the following:

  •  Provisions for secure electronic data sharing.  
  • Training of foreign governments and food producers on United States requirements for safe food.

Well its too late now, its US law. If any country refuses to go by the rules they are fined or their product is refused to be allow in the country. You go to the border with your produces in a truck you get inspected you pay for the inspection, the produce is not allowed in because it is'nt on the list of approve foods. Then you are fined for trying to import prohibed substances. This is not lets talk about it, this end of days stuff, 1984. Free trade agreement, my foot. Japan when to war over this sort of thing. This is not only Canada's problem it affects Australia, NZ, South America, Mexico everyone. This is the nail in the coffin for all small to medium farms. The general public at large. Has Canada seen trees with their fuit rotting on them because they are not the right varitey or gene, or a truck loads of milk tipped in fields because the cows weren't injected by the right antibiotic, or meat works closed as now because the animal is not carrying a certain gene. This NWO they control the vertical and the horzontal, you control nothing. It as been said so many times a country that can't feed itself is doomed.

The Most Wanted Wheat Seed Across the Prairies — AAC WALSH

PART ONE The sign was up before anyone knew who put it there. No name. No description. Just a dark silhouette nailed to the side of the grain elevator, paper already curling at the edges where the prairie wind worried it loose. MOST WANTED. That was all it said. In a town like this, that was enough. People here understood value. They understood timing. They noticed things that arrived quietly and stayed put. By midmorning, more than a few sets of eyes had found their way to the elevator wall, lingered longer than necessary, then moved on without comment. At the café, steam rose off coffee cups and hung in the air like unfinished sentences. “Yield and protein like that,” someone said eventually, not looking up, “oughta be outlawed.” It was meant as a joke. It didn’t land like one. No one asked who that was. Nobody needed to. The phrase carried weight all on its own, passing from table to table, slipping into conversations that paused just long enough to acknowledge it. By the

Canada-China Trade Agreement Boosts Outlook for Canola and Prairie Seed Sheds

Renewed exports may narrow the basis and reduce surplus stocks, but rebuilding grower confidence will take time. Tariffs and economic trends are often discussed in the abstract, but their consequences couldn’t be more concrete for Prairie seed sheds. In recent months, real-world examples have already reared their heads — such as canola multiplications in California facing counter-tariffs — forcing Canada’s seed sector to adapt to a trade environment that can change quickly, even when agreements are reached. The recent trade deal between Canada and China has brought some much-needed relief to the sector, particularly around market access and export movement. But for many farmers and seed companies, the agreement also underscores a hard truth: the impacts of trade disruptions don’t disappear overnight. It is little surprise that global trade ripples affect local decisions: fewer seed options, changing input costs, and constrained access to genetics. “Tariffs create uncertainty in an

Canada Gains Expanded Meat Access in Indonesia

Canada has secured a major expansion of market access for beef and pork exports to Indonesia, marking a significant milestone following the signing of the Canada–Indonesia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) last September. 

'Phone in one hand, beer in the other': High-tech automation is giving farmers more time

Anyone visiting Don Badour’s cow-calf operation in the last 18 months will have noticed his cattle sporting some spiffy orange bling around their necks. The bovine baubles aren’t just for looks, however. They’re part of a sophisticated virtual fencing system that helps the Lanark County farmer monitor and track his herd’s movement and wellbeing. Badour is quite pleased with the investment — and so are the cows. “I thought that the cows might be not too happy with them on, but we put them on, they gave their heads one or two shakes, and that's it,” Badour said during a panel discussion at the 2026 Northern Ontario Ag Conference, hosted by the Northern Ontario Farm Innovation Alliance in Sudbury Feb. 6-7. “They've come to realize they're there. So we haven't had any trouble with the cows rejecting them.”? ?Made by the New Zealand company Gallagher, the eShepherd neck bands weigh about eight pounds each and are powered by solar-charged batteries. They run on GPS and the system is ope

Trump EPA sued over reapproval of dicamba herbicide as farm and environmental groups warn of renewed crop damage

Farmers and environmental organizations have launched a new legal challenge against the Environmental Protection Agency, arguing its latest approval of the controversial herbicide dicamba ignores court rulings, scientific evidence and the interests of growers harmed by chemical drift. The lawsuit, filed Friday in federal court by a coalition that includes the National Family Farm Coalition, the Center for Biological Diversity, the Center for Food Safety and Pesticide Action & Agroecology Network, challenges the EPA’s decision to re-register dicamba for use on genetically engineered soybeans and cotton. The decision marks the latest chapter in a years-long dispute over dicamba, a weedkiller widely used in U.S. agriculture but criticized for its tendency to volatilize and drift, damaging nearby crops, orchards and natural vegetation. “EPA’s re-registration of dicamba flies in the face of a decade of damning evidence, real world farming know-how and sound science, and, oh-by-the-way, t
