Carney's China visit tests Ottawa's bid to diversify trade while keeping US ties intact

Canada's prime minister Mark Carney travels to Beijing to reset ties and pursue non-US trade opportunities, with talks expected on energy, climate and agriculture while establishing guardrails on defence and critical minerals; the visit follows the Meng Wanzhou case and past Canadian detentions, and Canada seeks relief on canola tariffs to help farmers as it weighs US trade concerns while aiming to double non-US exports in a decade.

"Escaped GMO Canola Plants Show Long-Term Survival, Potential Loss of Pesticide Resistance"

A study led by Cynthia Sagers of Arizona State University found that genetically engineered canola plants can survive long-term outside farms but may be losing their herbicide resistance genes. The research, conducted in North Dakota, showed a decrease in feral canola populations and a rise in non-resistant plants, suggesting evolutionary pressure to shed transgenes. This challenges the assumption that transgenic crops won't intermix with wild populations and highlights the need for further research on the environmental impact of de-domesticated crops.
