(NaturalNews) A new law being pushed in Canada by Big Pharma seeks to
outlaw up to 60 percent of natural health products currently sold in
Canada, even while criminalizing parents who give herbs or supplements
to their children. The law, known as C-51, was introduced by the
Canadian Minister of Health on April 8th, 2008, and it proposes
sweeping changes to Canada's Food and Drugs Act that could have devastating consequences on the health products industry.
Among
the changes proposed by the bill are radical alterations to key
terminology, including replacing the word "drug" with "therapeutic
product" throughout the Act, thereby giving the Canadian government
broad-reaching powers to regulate the sale of all herbs, vitamins,
supplements and other items. With this single language change, anything
that is "therapeutic" automatically falls under the Food and Drug Act.
This would include bottled water, blueberries, dandelion greens and
essentially all plant-derived substances.

linkback: The Origins and Traditions of May Day
The international working class holiday; Mayday, originated in pagan Europe. It was a festive holy day celebrating the first spring planting. The ancient Celts and Saxons celebrated May 1st as Beltane or the day of fire. Bel was the Celtic god of the sun.
The Saxons began their May day celebrations on the eve of May, April 30. It was an evening of games and feasting celebrating the end of winter and the return of the sun and fertility of the soil. Torch bearing peasants and villager would wind their way up paths to the top of tall hills or mountain crags and then ignite wooden wheels which they would roll down into the fields.

This spring, Alberta producers are asking a lot of questions about
cropland rental. Strong grain and oilseed prices have prompted
landlords to renegotiate land leasing arrangements, especially those
involving cash rents. It is understandable that with increased returns,
higher cash rents are justifiable. The critical question is, how much
higher.
“Generally, throughout the province, cash rents increased 10 to 20 per
cent in 2007 over the 2006 rates,” says Ted Nibourg, business
management specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development,
Stettler. “It may be safe to assume that similar increases are possible
for 2008.”
