Dr. Don Huber, agronomist and professor emeritus at Purdue University, presents “Connection between crop health and good plant nutrition with a special focus on rising problems linked to an intensive use of Glyphosate [Roundup] and GM crops.” https://youtu.be/Ul6_Po67HV8
Summary
Glyphosate is probably the most toxic chemical ever introduced. Glyphosate attacks nutrient cycling on the planet and affects the whole soil food web which we need to survive. It’s an antibiotic which accumulates biologically in various systems and persists in some soils for 22 years. The herbicide acts as a chelator which binds minerals and kills all kinds of plants by starvation. It does not harm the pathogens in the soil but kills beneficial organisms which normally keep the plant diseases in check. It gives plants AIDS. As much as 20% of the glyphosate leaches out of the plant through root exudates, thereby killing the mycorrhizal fungi which normally extends the root system of a plant for meters in all directions. This beneficial root fungus trades minerals for sugars with the plant. Glyphosate also harms beneficial bacteria and fungi which are usually consumed by good nematodes and protozoa, whose waste products are plant available nutrients. It is systemic and accumulates in the extremities of the plant; 80% of the toxin is found in the root tips, shoot tips and reproductive parts, ie the seed. So, Round Up Ready canola seed, soya beans and corn contain a lot of the toxin. When these seeds are used for animal feed then documented problems with premature aging, infertility, miscarriages, birth defects, erosion of stomachs and intestines occur. Similar problems can occur with humans who eat food contaminated with glyphosate.

Kevin O’Leary wants to bring in more immigrants from the ME,strip the ME of it’s engineers, being the “new type of Conservative” he says he is.
We used to call that type “Liberals”.
If O’Leary is such a brilliant businessman, why doesn’t he understand that stealing all the best professionals will leave those Countries permanently dependent on US for welfare by any other name?

The conservatives needn’t come up with a rocket surgeon to take on bongo. The one who is in party mode 24/7 and has never had a serious thought. We see the result of what 8 years of a disinterested US presidency can produce. We’ve got the same thing going on here.
While bongo travels and parties with his friends nefarious doings are taking place back home. Wonder how many al Qaeda operatives have infiltrated the highest levels of government? Dept. of Foreign Affairs? Doesn’t take many and especially with a guy in charge who doesn’t care.
The guy is a fool. Maybe you get the government you deserve but I’m not sure what Canadians have done to deserve him.
I so agree. I think one of the best Conservative contenders is Chris Alexander and I will be voting for him. Having said that I am not optimistic about his chances. He is getting very little attention — except for a bit of negative attention from the Toronto star. It has dawned on me that downplaying Alexander in the media could be a deliberate strategy to not have him going head to head with Justin. Alexander is far more intelligent, accomplished and experienced. I think he would make an excellent leader and he has much to give to Canada.
I watched the Don Huber video, and I am somewhat skeptical of much of what he says. We have been using roundup on our farm for many years, at least 20. I have yet to see any evidence of reduced yields, mysterious or otherwise. Germination seems to be as good as it ever was. His alarming statistics and dire predictions are more than somewhat similar to those of Gore and Suzuki. His prediction of 50% of babies to be autistic sounds pretty over the top to me, and possibly will get some competition from those who blame autism on vaccines. At any rate the guy is interesting to watch.

“Search for Mount Harvey hikers ends in tragedy”
“Four bodies have been recovered in the search for five hikers who were reported missing from the mountain near Lions Bay on Saturday afternoon.
It appears the group was walking on an overhang of snow when it collapsed from under them and swept them down the mountain side.” http://www.news1130.com/2017/04/08/hikers-stranded-lions-bay/
Maybe you get the government you deserve but I’m not sure what Canadians have done to deserve him.
It was his “fans”; those stupid, foolish, social-media linked millenials that gave him the margin for a dictatorial majority government. If it wasn’t for them with their mindless “HateHarper” social media campaign we probably would have gotten a Conservative or Lieberal minority government. THAT’s what Canadians deserved.
No comments??
