I do feel sorry to some extent for those Canadian Wheat farmers who may in truth be innocent and in fact there may be zero GMO Canadian wheat with Roundup exposure, but how did they discover this mess?
They were spraying Roundup to desiccate/dry out the wheat before it was harvested and found that x number of stalks DIDN'T die, and thus by definition were Roundup Ready and therefore resistant and didn't die.
The whole thing is a monstrous crock.
I hope the Canadian farmers become suspicious and seditious and go back firmly to organic wheat raising. Wouldn't that be refreshing? and competitive enough to challenge a few US farmers to do the same?
>>>>>>from the Canadian Broadcast Corporation, June 27:
The Alberta Wheat Commission says South Korea has resumed imports of Canadian wheat after suspending trade last week due to concerns about a small number of genetically modified plants.
Earlier this month the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced a few GM wheat plants were found near a farm in southern Alberta. Genetically modified wheat is not allowed to be grown commercially anywhere in Canada.The commission says rigorous tests proved there is no evidence of GM wheat in commercial shipments.
Alberta Economic Development and Trade Minister Deron Bilous said he had expected South Korea's action against Canadian wheat would be short-lived.

One bright light and encouraging breakthrough occurred earlier this year with Pakistan banning Ajinomoto's Monosodium Glutamate by order of the nation's Supreme Court.
This started with a unilateral decision and unilateral action by Noor Ul Amin Mengal, Director General of the Punjab Food Authority in the Punjab, Pakistan's most populous province with 110 million of the 207 million Pakistani's.
The ban spread shortly thereafter to the neighboring provinces of Sindh and Khyber, and then was made formal nationally with a directive from the Supreme Court.
One can only hope this consumer protection effort will spread to other nations inspired by Pakistan, and will also grow to include the other neurotoxic food additive made by Ajinomoto of Japan, the sweetener Aspartame, which is far more dangerous and destructive than Monosodium Glutamate.
This is one of my articles on this intriguing subject which shows that Pakistan is way out ahead of many nations in terms of real consumer protection:
