Why this is important!

Over 20 countries have banned or restricted the import, distribution, sale, utilization, field trials and commercial planting of GMO’s. Canadians deserve the right to know what we are eating. We deserve the right to choose.

Did you know that over 70% of the food sold in Canadian Grocery stores contain Genetically modified Ingredients (GMO)? The first long term study on the health affects of consuming GMO's was completed in 2012. THE RESULTS WERE HORRIFIC. Demand GMO labeling in Canada.

In Canada, there is currently a private member's bill C-257 introduced by NDP (recently had its first reading in Parliament) to require mandatory GMO labelling RIGHT HERE IN THIS COUNTRY. All Canadians need to show support for this Bill. We need an equivalent Prop 37 marketing campaign! Email Gerry Ritz, the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-food, to express your support of Bill C-257 at: gerry.ritz@parl.gc.ca
