It is a little more complicated than that, if I remember - there was some
seedsaving going on on Percy's part.....I can't remember the details. But I
remember when I looked into it that it was complicated. Maybe I will have
time later to look into it again and refresh my memory.

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
