I think getting ahold of the media as mentioned above and pointing out the abuses taking place in the agribusiness production of food is promising. Canadians have benefitted from the cheapest food ever, anywhere, for a long time. And we've been doing our part.
Successive liberal/conservative governments since the fifties have sacrificed the primary producers in an effort to build up Canadas secondary industries. Forestry, fisheries, and farming have all suffered because of the common acceptance of the need to subsidize processors.
Just yesterday I heard a talking head bemoaning the fact that there is still a disproportionate amount of our economy that is based on primary production. The cure is of course to get rid of more farmers, fishermen, and foresters, and ain't it a shame that the energy sector is doing so well. If it weren't for them there'd be more money available to pay for consumer goods. Ahhh yahhh.
