A Bayer-Monsanto merger would mean four companies accountable only to their shareholders would control about 70 per cent of the world's seed markets. This is bad news for farmers, seed diversity and humanity's capacity to adapt to climate change. https://www.usc-canada.org//645-the-bayer-monsanto-merger-

Inspired to see the leadership and involvement of the Merville community. Lets keep our eyes and ears out for the next to-be-scheduled hearing. As far as I knew water conservation in our region was already becoming an issue before a bottling plant was even a part of the equation... https://www.comoxvalleyrecord.com//proposed-water-bottlin/

I'm all for conscious eating, and I agree that there is a time that everyone can benefit from vegetarianism and plant based diets. However, I feel there are alo...t of cultural assumptions made by many in the movement. First of all, everyone is an individual, and goes through periods and seasons where we need meat...meat eaters/hunters and fishing and gathering societies are among some of the most sustainable adaptation strategies of humanity. We have persisted over atleast 2.5 million years into the 21st century. When people use the argument they don't want to kill or eat animals because they are sentient beings, then I think it's important you know that plants are sentient beings too. They have a soul, spirit and powerful fields of conscious energy surrounding them, but they move at a slower rate so we just don't see it because our temporal scope and scale has been quickened through the production paradigm that has insitituted the consciousness out of the agri-food system. Conscious eaters should be more concerned about the cruel and ecological unsustainable ways that farm animals are raised, and the associated social injustices that happens with people in the process. Animals can be raised in humane ways if people broaden their scope and scale beyond their privatized plots of agricultural land where they want to keep "their" animals and "their" land. Animals were meant to migrate and they know intuitively went to migrate and graze in a way that will encourage growth and increase biodiversity in their diets...it's we humans who choose to keep them penned up!! Oh and one more thing. if you think of yourself as a conscious eater, then how conscious are you of the fact that your food is grown on stolen native land that perpetuates the highly unjust underlying colonial laws, policies, planning and governance structures and processes ? Unless you are a farmer or a person working on making significant systemic change and showing up to the front lines in solidarity with Indigenous peoples, then I say that any food you eat whether they be vegetables or meat, vibrates at a lower frequency of life energy when humans/Indigenous peoples or migrant workers are being exploited in order to clear the land, erode the soil, and make invisible an entire Indigenous culture. Just my two cents for the day...Feel free to share far and wide.
