“TORONTO – Hundreds marched in Toronto Saturday joining thousands around the world to protest against genetically modified organisms and agribusiness giant Monsanto.
The “March Against Monsanto” protests are now in their third year and were held in several Canadian cities including Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver. Organizers said that events were being held in 428 cities in 38 countries from North America to Africa and Europe.
Demonstrators in Toronto rallied outside of Queen’s Park before marching their way across the city to a GMO-free festival at Christie Pits in the city’s west end.
The group behind the event said in a statement the rally is about providing an opportunity to people to educate themselves about the “serious health conditions” linked to “Monsanto’s genetically-modified foods.”
Those who attended the rally in Toronto said it was about creating a grassroots movement.
“Companies like Monsanto have billions of dollars behind them. They can do their campaigns and there is not a problem. We are as grassroots as it comes,” Brock Sheppard, who identified himself as an organic food consumer, told Global News.
In Kelowna, B.C., dozens of protesters gathered calling for more protection of food supplies and to create awareness of what they say are harmful impacts of genetically modified foods like the Arctic Apple….”
We can fight Monsanto, Bayer and others by becoming farmers. At the same time fight corruption in government and have access to any food that you wish..INCLUDING RAW DAIRY OF ALL FORMS.

Under Ontario law you must be a farmer to have access to raw milk, our program covers that in being a land owner you qualify to be a farmer covering 99% of the corrupt milk act. To own about 1 acre of land involves a one time payment of $ 5000.00 and you will get a title deed stating you own 1% of the farm. If this is difficult to swing we have an OFFER TO PURCHASE AGREEMENT about 105.74 per month for 5 years and same status. No one can be involved without the $ 100.00 initiation fee ( working capital) For non dairy people there is a $ 500.00 per year to access all food (except raw dairy) at 50% discount.
The $ 500.00 and $ 5000.00 go into a lawyer trust account and can be done by e commerce using email address of (dmorrison@poplaw.ca)
