We had an event at the auditorium attached to the education centre of the University of Regina.

I spoke for about 21 minutes. Here is a recording of my talk there. Points covered:

• Cartagena Protocol on preservation of biological diversity, how 160 odd countries have signed and ratified it but Canada did not. How India did ratify it and using it to protect its flora and fauna from theft and biopiracy by corporations that wish to steal the genome of indigenous varieties to create patented life forms as GMO.
• Comment from Scientist Don Huber, on Glyphosate
• Comment from Scientist Stephanie Seneff on Glyphosate and autism.
• Glyphosate Testing – how Canada does not have a lab to test glyphosate poisoning of humans and food.
• Our effort to get an US lab to offer low cost testing for Canadians on a social cause.
• How grassroots groups cropped up in Canadian towns to organize batch processing of human body fluid samples as well as food.
• How Americans and even scientists came forward to use this price breakthrough.
• Pressure was exerted to stop this service before it could get off the ground. The US lab regrettably stopped offering this service without testing a single sample.
• How we are looking to create a citizen’s lab in USA and Canada that does not depend on Govt or industry and therefore cannot to shut down.
• Political corruption in Canada.
• Municipal Governments, the lowest level of elected Government, is more approachable by the people, than higher levels at provincial or federal government.
• How Harold Steve of Richmond, BC, got his town to pass resolution to be GMO free.
• How two dozen other towns in BC follows suit. How the union of BC municipalities passed a province wide resolution to be GMO free.
• How other towns and provinces are trying to follow suit outside of BC.
• How people of Regina can also start making a change from the bottom up.
• How some councillors get elected with only five votes. This is because Canadians do not vote and do not get engaged at the Municipal level, which is something we aught to, so our rights are not taken away by unscrupulous politicians that work for the interest of corporations rather than the people they represent.

I shall be happy to hear your views on it.
