Canadian Legislation for the Food Allergic.
Canadian Legislation for the Food Allergic
From Gwen Smith, Editor, Allergic Living magazine
For years, the food allergy community in Canada has lobbied and waited for legislation that would require all food package labels to clearly and thoroughly list the top 10 priority allergens among ingredients.
The good news is that new regulations that would bring far greater clarity to the wording on food labels are ready. The bad news: they’ve been ready for two years and have yet to become law.
In the hopes making the allergen label law a priority for the federal government, Allergic Living magazine has launched an online letter-writing campaign to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Read the letter and about the issue at www.allergicliving.com (Click the green box in the upper right corner.)
If you are a Canadian concerned about the health and safety of those living with food allergies and celiac disease, take a moment to e-mail the letter to the Prime Minister. The more letters he gets, the greater the chance the legislation will pass.
Please make your voice heard. Thank you for your support.

Sing My Sisters Sing.
Rather than inundate you with facts and figures on World AIDS Day 2007, I thought I’d point you to Annie Lennox’s new song on HIV/AIDS, Sing Unfortunately, You Tube disabled the embedding feature on it, so you’ll need to click on that link in order to listen and watch the video. You can download it from iTunes, too. Why would you want to buy the song, let alone the album that it is a part of? You’d want to buy it because proceeds are going to help people with HIV/AIDS. Check out The sing project website here.
The photograph I linked to instead comes from this article on how the world is marking the day this year.
And I will end as I always do and just say: Have you and your partner been tested recently?

How it works.
Thanks to the comment Steve Withers left me last night, I found the following explanation of how MMP system will work. But it ends on an upbeat note. My question is, what happens when the coalitions don’t work? Or if 4-5 parties have to work together in coalition? The inability of some PR govts to get anything done goes unmentioned in this video. I’m as yet undecided, but still, I think the video is worth watching if you don’t know how MMP electoral systems work:
P.S. Before I am accused by some gentle reader of favouring the Yes campaign Click here to read the website of the No MMP campaign.

There’s a Referendum Brewing…
I’m kind of interested in the lack of hype here in Ottawa about the coming Ontario Election. The lawn signs have yet to break out. Flyers have yet to hit my mailbox (or if they have, I’ve simply recycled them with the rest). And, more importantly, there’s little talk of the referendum on mixed proportional representation. Or maybe I’m not hearing about it because I don’t have a TV?
So, yeah, find out about it and get out to vote on Oct. 10th.
