If we are what
we eat, then most Canadians have no idea of just what consistutes
their...constitutions. Canada is experiencing a health crisis. Diabetes rates
are skyrocketting for both types I and II; heart disease, and the myriad health
complications associated with obesity are making ill and killing thousands of
citizens every year, and yet the country is getting fatter by the day. And the
forecast for future generations doesn't look good if current trends continue.
But how to address the issue?
Bill Jeffery is the National
Coordinator for the Canadian office of the Centre for Science in the Public
Interest, a non-profit health advocacy organization specializing in nutrition
and food safety issues in Canada and the United States. The centre is a
supporter of MP Tom Wappel's proposed Bill C-283, an act to amend food labelling
laws in this country.
Bill Jeffery in the first half.
And; as 2006 winds down, it could come to be known as the last Canadian year.
The 21st was touted by some, not so long ago, as Canada's century, but secret
plans to subvert the nation and merge Canada, the U.S., and Mexico into a
so-called North American Union may prove now to be the end of the line for this
nation.
Connie Fogal is the leader of the Canadian Action Party, and constitutional law lawyer, who says “under agreements entered under the Liberal regime post 9/11 including the Smart Border Plan and the Security and Prosperity Partnership Agreement, Canada is now but a step away from surrendering national sovereignty and being subsumed into a so-called North American Union.Connie Fogal and the death of a nation in the second half.
And Janine Bandcroft will be here at the bottom of the hour to bring us up to speed with all that's good to do in and around Victoria this week. But first, Bill Jeffery and getting the goods on the food we eat.
