Genetically modified foods (or GM foods) are foods produced from organisms that have had specific changes introduced into their DNA using the methods of genetic engineering. Canada is the third largest producer of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the world. It is one of the largest producers of GM canola oil and other GM crops include maize, soybean, and beet. In Canada, GMOs used either as food or animal feed must be approved before entering the market. The approval process is based on numerous regulations that are enforced by Health Canada for foods, the Canadian Food…

No, ban all GMOs, and Genetic Engineering nationwide. No exceptions, GMOs cause cancer and other maladies.
@8VKJ6Z7Conservative3yrs3Y
GMOs do not cause cancer. Please educate yourself, preferably not on Facebook as you likely received this info
@8SHNHYV3yrs3Y
No, ban GMOs. They cause cancer.
@8VKJ6Z7Conservative3yrs3Y
You are literally a moron. They do not cause cancer. Please educate yourself
I don't support it but (1) all GMO and irradiated foods should be labeled as such and (2) patented seeds only retain protection on the farm that uses them. If the wind blows pollen from a GMO crop to an adjacent site and causes that crop to become hybridized, that crop belongs to the farmer of the contaminated field. In addition, any seed from that crop belongs to the farmer. However, the farmer whose crop is cross pollinated now needs to sell his product as being a GMO product. That farmer may also be entitled to sue the other farmer for damages.
@9KTFCM71mo1MO
Yes, but producers should not be able to patent seeds, and care should be taken that genetically modified crops do not choke out native flora and become invasive species.
@9JLF2GL3mos3MO
require the labelling of foods that are genetically modified and HEAVALY AND I MEAN HEAVALY REGULATED
@9JBTHNJ3mos3MO
Yes, but only if there is public record of what has been changed and how it affects humans and the environment.
@9GNXXXT6mos6MO
Ideally yes, but create a board to approve or disapprove projects based on how they might impact different species, and the local environment and natural resources.
@9FQY4MY7mos7MO
Somewhat. Sometimes it is needed. But also genetically modified food has to be labeled that it is genetically modified. And no producer should be allowed to parent any seed for any reason.
@9FCZK2L7mos7MO
No, this practise should be banned
@9F7C49QBloc Québécois8mos8MO
No, and also we should ban G.M.O.'s
@9F5KMPV8mos8MO
It allows for faster growth and therefore cheaper and more abundant foods. Seeds shouldn't be allowed to be patented and GMO foods should be labelled so buyers are informed.
@9DWFG688mos8MO
Yes, but require the labeling of foods that are gm and producers should not be able to patent seeds, prioritize organic non GMOs foods
@9D2GQV99mos9MO
Yes, but producers should not be able to patent seeds and do require the labelling of foods that are genetically modified
@9C97WH211mos11MO
Yes but loss of biodiversity needs to be considered
@9C8YBHH11mos11MO
As long as the crop/food has no impact on our health or will help our health; it should also be labelled
@9C7MJ7511mos11MO
@9BSYMVY12mos12MO
No, ban genetic engineering
@9BK2RQ61yr1Y
Yes, as long as there is appropriate regulation and health research into it as well.
Yes, so long as they can provide proof that there is no chemical contamination or other pollution coming to fruition as a result.
@98HTVSQ1yr1Y
Yes and no ethics are need to do it properly
@8VR5D8F3yrs3Y
Yes, but regulations and advisories should be placed on foods and crops that are modified.
@8VH26PM3yrs3Y
It depends on the reason for the modification.
@97WDKK81yr1Y
No, we should criminalize this practise
if they made it healthy and merged them like intelligent people
Yes, but not for disease and pest resistance
Yes, but disallow the removal of seeds from crops.
@93TM7X62yrs2Y
No, GMOs are dangerous, they should be banned.
@93QZV7Z2yrs2Y
No, we should try to eliminate engineered crops and foods. We should put more importance on growing food that is natural and good for us with nothing added or changed.
@93MCSTL2yrs2Y
Not well informed enough. Needs more research tbh
@9388XWJ2yrs2Y
@92RTRZZ2yrs2Y
Yes, but no patents and require labels.
@927VFJL2yrs2Y
no, it is a terrible idea and is so unhealthy.
@8ZSJL5B2yrs2Y
No, ban all Genetic Engineering programmes.
@8ZRQ7W72yrs2Y
Yes, but develop a program that ensures GE crops and food meet high standards
@8Z7DWC92yrs2Y
No, ban genetically engineered crops and foods.
@8Y3NCLY2yrs2Y
We already have that it doesnt matter
@8XCDZYT2yrs2Y
No, Genetically modified organisms cause cancer.
@8VRF6R93yrs3Y
Yes. All crops have been engineered.
@8VRD2783yrs3Y
Yes, but should be done in a regulated and followed safe and effective guidelines.
@8VJX2SJ3yrs3Y
Yes but not for animals.
@8VH22SV3yrs3Y
Should require labelling
@8VH294R3yrs3Y
Yes, but producers should not be able to patent seeds and Yes, but require the labelling of foods that are genetically modified
@8RWBHS33yrs3Y
No, ban GMOs they cause Cancer
@8RQCBY63yrs3Y
@abrielle2593yrs3Y
Yes but no monocultures
@8PYXCGL3yrs3Y
No, this is dangerous, GMO and GME food causes cancer.
@8PXYVR53yrs3Y
Yes but there should be strict guidelines set and enforced on the types of modifications allowed.
