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.

Hursh: My canola acreage prediction

Statistics Canada will release a seeded area estimate on June 30. This will be based on data collected in late May and early June. I'm predicting a larger than expected increase in canola acreage. In its preliminary seeding intentions report back in March, Statistics Canada predicted a 1.0 per cent increase in Canadian canola area to 21.8 million acres. A lot has happened since then and canola prices have seen more strength than other commodities. Canola also looks good from a crop insurance coverage point of view even in non-traditional canola growing regions. Canola is already a large percentage of the cropland in central and northern areas of the grain belt limiting how much more it can increase. However, I believe acreage may have increased dramatically in many southern regions. In southwest Saskatchewan where I farm, I can’t remember seeing so many canola fields. Canola here still isn’t nearly as common as lentils or durum, but there’s a surprising amount of canola and mos

Seeding virtually done in Saskatchewan, though some acres unseeded

The latest provincial crop report indicates seeding is basically done in Saskatchewan as progress is marked at 99 per cent complete. A map of seeding progress province-wide shows an area from Hudson Bay down to Yorkton is between 85 and 95 per cent complete, with pockets at less than 80 per cent complete. The east-central region as a whole is at 96 per cent complete while other regions are at 99 or 100 per cent. However, three per cent of acres of the province went unseeded due to excessive moisture. "Similarly, three per cent of forage crops have excess moisture and are unlikely to produce a crop while two per cent of pastureland is not accessible or is unusable," states the report. "In areas experiencing reduced moisture, two per cent of the seeded acreage this spring in the province is affected. Five per cent of the forage crops may have yields significantly impacted, while five per cent of pastures may have reduced carrying capacity." Rainfall this past week delayed fieldwork,

Knowledge Centre receives $2.6 million from Weston Family Prairie Grasslands Initiative

Stretching across Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba, Canada’s prairie grasslands support hundreds of species, including migratory birds, pollinators and people, while also sustaining soil health, water systems, livestock production, and Indigenous stewardship. Yet of the roughly 141 million acres of historical grasslands in Canada, only 26 million acres remain intact today. What remains of prairie grasslands represents a rare and urgent opportunity to protect biodiversity at scale. “Indigenous lifeways, languages, and food systems evolved with the environment, and these reciprocal relationships shaped the ecological processes that can restore the health of grasslands,” said Candice Pete-Cardoso, director of the kihci-okawimaw askiy Knowledge Centre at USask. The new Indigenous Grasslands Stewardship and Knowledge Exchange Network has been launched by the kihci-okawimaw askiy Knowledge Centre together with the Indigenous Kinship Circle (IKC). The IKC is a cross-boundary community of
