CORPORATE GIANT VERSUS PRAIRIE FARMER
GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOODS - WHETHER YOU WANT THEM OR NOT!

The wind, the rain or the birds spread Monsanto's genetically
engineered canola seed on Saskatchewan farmer, Percy Schmeiser's
fields.  He neither bought nor planted Monsanto's seed.
Yet Monsanto charged him with violating their patent.

Incredibly, he was brought before the courts and found guilty as
charged.  He can no longer save and grow his
own seed because it is contaminated with Monsanto's.

Percy Schmeiser will talk about his ongoing battle with Monsanto
- the next step is the Supreme Court of Canada.   In the
words of David Suzuki "his story should terrify every
Canadian.
