There is a case going on right now in the Supreme Court of Canada - Monsanto vs. Percy Schmieser (I haven't spelt his name right). Monsanto is suing Percy because the pollen from adjacent gmo canola fields contaminated his farm-saved seed and gmo canola was found by Monsanto to be growing on Percy's land. That's right - they tested the canola on the edges of his fields. They want to be compensated for the use of their technology. They claim he deliberately seeded gmo seed that Monsanto had not been reimbursed for. Pretty strange, eh? Percy has already lost at the lower courts and it is in the final stage of appeal. Maureen
