- Chris J. Slater Taking over Wall Street the last couple of weeks, Bay Street this week. Thanks God, some people finally get it; but not those who report the news or make policy like local councils in Nanaimo and Lantzville. Now is YOUR chance to make a difference! Don't waste it by voting the status quo. If your local and provincial politician isn't part of the solution, they are the problem! Especially if they believe there is no problem with GMO's, Corporate Personhood, always seeking after their ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. A 24% RAISE? If you live in Nanaimo and want some common sense, vote Gord Fuller, if you live in Lantzville vote for change there too!about an hour ago ·
- Chris J. Slater Story at-a-glance
You CAN make a MAJOR difference in helping eliminate GMO foods in the US with these simple steps.
In September, lawyers representing a broad coalition of health, environmental, and consumer advocate groups filed papers to launch a California Ballot Initiative that would require mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods and food ingredients.
If California voters pass this ballot initiative in 2012, it will likely be the beginning of the end for Monsanto and genetically engineered food in the U.S. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2 011/10/03/cbi-taking-down- monsanto-gmo-products.aspx ?e_cid=20111003_DNL_art_1 Millions Against Monsanto...Let's use this strategy to clean up this toxic mess in Canada starting on a local basis in Lantzville and Nanaimo!! Let's identify who are the Monsanto STOOGES right here and NOW. And let's identify who is for our liberty and freedoms. Let's tell Washington, DC and Ottawa, Ont. WE WANT TO BE HEARD! And they aren't listening. Canada has the same population as California, we can make a difference for ALL of North America!26 minutes ago · · - Chris J. Slater This should be life changing! If you don't understand what we're fighting for in North America after viewing this, you must be brain dead! Power to the PEOPLE! Take it back from the greedy, self-centered, psychopathic CORPORATIONS and their stooges! Be sure to watch: Ronnie Cummins, Organic Consumers Association http://articles.mercola.co

"If you put a label on genetically engineered food you might as well put a skull and crossbones on it." - Norman Braksick, president of Asgrow Seed Co., a subsidiary of Monsanto, quoted in the Kansas City Star, March 7, 1994
Monsanto and Food Inc.'s stranglehold over the nation's food and farming system is about to be challenged in a food fight that will largely determine the future of American agriculture. (I believe the world!)
A growing corps of organic food and health activists in California—supported by consumers and farmers across the nation—are boldly standing up to Monsanto and its minions, taking the first steps to expose the widespread contamination of non-organic grocery store foods with Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), and moving to implement mandatory GMO labeling through a grassroots-powered Citizens Ballot Initiative process.

Yes, thank you Kate Storey, Agriculture critic for the Green Party of Canada for your expression of support on Protect Urban Agriculture, Save Compassion Farm.... Oh that The Honourable Gerry Ritz http://www.agr.gc.ca/cb/min/ index_e.php?s1=help-aide&s2= contact Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board would now respond to our righteous concerns for food security and our RIGHTS to grow and sell FOOD from any property under our control. He has been doing an admirable job for AGRI-BUS., with his foreign trips to sell their products, but I want him to start doing more for us, the people who elected him; the people who are forced to consume disgusting GMO and GE foods simply because they are sneakily NOT LABELLED. Canada needs to follow the rest of civilized societies such as in the EU and ban these Frankenfoods. And then arrange restitution from Corporate Capitalists like Monsanto for the DAMAGE they have done to our world! Won't you join me in letting The Honourable Gerry Ritz http://www.agr.gc.ca/cb/min/ index_e.php?s1=help-aide&s2= contact know of our concerns?

Mayor Colin Haime; Lantzville, BC, Canada
Back to the future as we enter into a post consumer and oil society. Could some one please tell me: 1. What does the Mayor of the District of Lantzville get in the way of salary, benefits, honorariums and expenses? How long has Colin Haime been the Mayor and what has he received for each year he's served and what benefits like pension, etc. will continue after he is defeated or leaves office voluntarily? 2. What does a Councillor of the District of Lantzville get in the way of salary, benefits, honorariums and expenses? How long has Denise Haime been a Councillor and what has she received for each year she's served and what benefits like pension, etc. will continue after she is defeated or leaves office voluntarily? Contd...
On the Island we only produce 4% of the FOOD we consume here. The rest of our food has to come from somewhere else in the world: China, California, Florida, Mexico, Thailand: What is going to happen when there is no more cheap transportation or "chemicalized" food?

Mayor Colin Haime; Lantzville, BC, Canada

Mayor Haime. I am a Canadian, a British Columbian, a neighbour to Lantzville; I live in the Cowichan Valley Regional District. I moved to Vancouver Island from Edmonton in 1978 to escape the “development above all else” mentality. So although not a resident of Lantzville, I and my family still need clean air, water, food and adequate shelter. No one in this world can live in isolation to anyone else. Having been to Compassion Farm, and having met Dirk Becker and Nicole Shaw, I can assure you the neighbour, Jim Brash and you, as the “majority of Council” – Mayor, wife as a Councillor and the other 2 who are pushing this issue, more than deserve the criticism you are now getting. Unlike you, we are having difficulty obtaining those 4 basics of life. I and my wife just watched you and Dirk on Shaw Cable and we are dismayed at your inflexible attitude and insistence on a flawed 2006 bylaw restricting people from people from growing their own organic air, water, food and shelter. Sir, drop the foolish litigation, stop wasting precious resources. In closing, you and council of Lantzville need to know you were elected to provide leadership in your community, the province of B.C., Canada and the world. So either you will lead, will follow or you will get out of the way; the times are changing.

Nanaimo BC, Shaw Cable, August 18, 2011Both Dirk Becker and Mayor Haime are being interviewed LIVE on Shaw Cable today. Would be great if someone could record it for us as we do not have cablevision. Our understanding is Dirk goes on live at 4pm... but as they want us there at 3:30, it could be that Mayor Haime is on at 3:30.... Thank you to whomever is able to record it!!
