This post is copied with permission from my dear friend Harmony's blog. This is a very important issue near and dear to my heart. Thanks Tro!

I urge you all to get involved in this very important issue. GMO foods are undertested and owned by major corporations who (yes, corporations are legally a who and not a what...scary) wield their power to destroy the lives of farmers in Canada and many parts of the world. You have the right to be able to make an informed choice about what you put in your and your childrens' bodies.
Please follow the actions suggested by Greenpeace on this site to pressure federal MPs to vote for the mandatory labeling of GMO foods, which may lead to a ban on them in Canada altogether. As of now, if you buy non-organic soy, wheat, corn, animal products, canola, yellow zucchini, potatoes, flax or cotton, you are likely paying for GMOs. The global food crisis is being worsened by this phenomenon, which seeks to limit nature's bounty to a few corporate owned Frankencrops.
Get involved! Everyone is needed for this, and we are so close to achieving victory.

will you teach me how to make jam?
it's on my 30 things to do before 30 list.
i've decided to make a list like that every year with a matching number to the age i am turning, so when i am 79 i will have to do 80 things. by then it will be like, "#1: fart nine times in a row without peeing my pants".
p.s. if you are wondering how this relates to your blog, i am responding to "making copious amounts of jam".
:)
Of course! Making jam is awesome. I still have so much to go through from the last few summers, and now that we have a deep freezer I can make freezer jam as well as water bath canned jam. Horray for jam!
yay!
the farm gets overrun with blackberries, so i'll make sure to bring you some if you need any (i think you said that it's raspberries at gibsons.) if so, we should do a trade!
Blackberries at Gibsons. I did u-pick raspberries last summer in Richmond.
