Re: CFIA targeting UK food items.
Novo, it's like I told you, Harper is a hero for prosecuting bad Mike, bad Pamela, bad Patrick, etc and unless someone still has their old orange NDP sign sticking out of the snow in the front yard that little white lie about Nigel and the cheque is likely forgotten. Now even that's overshadowed by this mid-east junket, which event sickens me personally but will gain him some support from the electorate and definately within his own party and the chosen delegation he's comping for the trip. Unless he gets drunk and mows down a bus stop full of people or they find a dead hooker in his car he could be around for a while yet. You said I was stupid or crazy or something before when I told you he would get away with the senate scandal, but I still think he will and as I predicted he seems to have benefited. I'd like to see him walk the length of Gaza City doing a meet and greet.

Is Marmite banned in schools or is there a separate room for it?

Re: CFIA targeting UK food items.
That deal isn't in force yet as they are still working out the details. The saddest thing about that is, as soon as I read about it, the first thing I thought of was 'I wonder if this means that I'll be able to get Dairylea cheese now?'

If they are targeting British foods I wonder if they will also target foods from countries like India and China which are likely to be far more harmful than British food.

Does that mean they will ban French Vanilla "coffee" at Tim Hortons?
Someone is obviously getting bored and thinking of ways to protect the poor Canadians from the healing power of Irn Bru especially from hangovers.

Re: CFIA targeting UK food items.
Its sold at the moment as CFIA allows it however from the article it appears that the articles/ingredients contained in yet to be determined food items will no longer meet the requirements.
Taken from the article
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is cracking down on products like Marmite and Irn-Bru, saying they have too many vitamins and minerals. It said a number of products from the United Kingdom contain ingredients not allowed in Canada.

Isn't Irn Brew made from Girders? A work man was killed in Mississauga by a falling Girder/roof at the Sheridan Mall construction site last week, maybe there is a link

Re: CFIA targeting UK food items.
actually just has a small amount of ammonium ferric citrate hence the "irn". was probably my favourite drink back home but I struggle to justify paying over $3 for a 500ml bottle these days.
