Accountability, public health and trade

eading between the lines of the article by Canada’s top veterinarian in R the July issue of the Canadian Vet- erinary Journal, this country suffers from a jurisdictional void that constrains its ability to address a high-priority public health issue. The World Health Organization and the World Organization for Animal Health have both been sounding the alarm over Laura Rance the growing problem of pathogens that Editor are becoming resistant to the antimicrobials used in both human and animal health. The WHO went so far last year as to warn that the world is on the brink of losing these “miracle cures” a mere 60 years after their introduction. There is little argument that the are being abused. In human health, doctors routinely describe antibiotics as a precaution and patients often stop taking their pills as soon as they start to feel better. In livestock production, they are frequently used as growth promoters rather than to treat sickness. Dr. Brian Evans, whose job these days is to serve not only as the country’s chief veterinarian but its chief food-safety U.S. farmers don’t deserve officer, treads carefully in his article, calling the misuse of antimicrobials in human and animals a “complex, multifactorial problem.” more subsidy: think-tank The way he describes it, three federal agencies — the Public Health Agency of Canada, Health Canada and the An excerpt from “Field of Schemes, ers who produce crops like corn, soybeans, Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) — monitor for The Taxpayer and Economic Welfare and wheat with subsidies when current-year resistant microbes in the food-animal sector.

OPEN MARKET Continued from page 1 SNOWFAKE STORM – AFTERMATH Dakota State University. Grain companies typically use the basis — the difference between the cash and futures price — to encourage or discourage deliveries, he said. Usually the basis is widest, resulting in a lower price to the farmer, at harvest time when elevator companies are flooded with grain, he said. They are the narrowest in the middle of winter when deliveries are reduced. Since 2007, world grain markets have become much more volatile and so has the fluctua- tion in basis, Olson said. Before 2007, the wheat basis in North Dakota ranged from 30 cents a bushel under the futures price to 10 cents over for a 40-cent spread. Now the spread can be as much as $3. Being able to store grain when the basis is wide is one of the simplest ways of dealing with the risk, he said. “In the last few years the mar- Above left: The hailstorm that hit the Snowflake area July 4 destroyed many crops, including this field of canola.

On May 28, officials were predicting only a 10 per cent chance that outflows would exceed 1,700 cfs, even though they knew May rainfalls were already well above normal. In the end, control of outflows was lost when water started coming over the spillway. “Now, with outflows at over 8,000 cfs, you can see the results,” added Pearn. “This is not a natural flood. The government chose to save water, and when they can’t hold it all in Shellmouth, they are using all of our land from Brandon to Shellmouth as their second reservoir.” Millwood-area rancher Cliff Trinder, who has studied the issue extensively after being flooded out over a dozen times since 2005, said that provincial officials are unaware of the changed dynamics of the watershed due to widespread drainage.

Canada MOSQUITO CATCHERS EMERGE at TPP table By Alex Binkley CO-OPERATOR CONTRIBUTOR / OTTAWA

fter months of con- certed lobbying, A Canada has won a seat at the negotiating table for the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Although the trade talks have yet to produce specific deals, they are viewed as a gateway to Asia-Pacific markets and the federal government was anxious to gain membership. The group now consists of the U.S., Australia, Mexico, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singa- pore, and Vietnam. Many expect Japan and China will eventually join.

We way overpaid for the lambs and we couldn’t get the money out of them from the public, and the public couldn’t afford to eat them and basically, North America wide, we’ve lost 50 per cent of the consumers who eat lamb.” Leitch said recent high lamb prices brought more production and new producers into the market, compounding the current market glut.

Saddle fit Saddle fit is critical to healthy movement of a horse’s back. A rider sits on layers of living tissue nourished by blood circulation. Saddle pressure drives blood circulation out of tissues, depriving them of nourishment. The tiny nerves that pass out of the spi- nal column innervating the back muscles are damaged greatly with “Every day I get to walk outside unforgiving pressure. The muscles and see what we’re building. of the equine back are activated by electrical impulses which reach the individual cells through this network of tiny nerves.

They are quiet and – Jason Rider, Ontario resilient. Signs of early damage to a horse’s back include heat bumps, uneven sweat patterns, and flickering and flinching upon touch once the saddle is removed. Over time white patches of hair along the back are testimony to damaged tissues as pressure harms the hair follicles, resulting in a visible scar. Most often these white patches are partnered with the visible hollowing of top-line musculature. Saddles are a bit like shoes.

Study says volunteers are putting in the hours — billions of them each year Statistics Canada study shows strong spirit of volunteerism in Canada, but its data only scratches the surface

Churches and other religious organizations get fewer hours, but the study also notes that religion plays an important role in formal volunteering: 65 per cent of Canadians who attended weekly religious services also did volunteering, compared to 44 per cent of those who did not. Church-goers and others of religious back- ground put in 40 per cent more hours than other types of volunteers.

Few do most of the work The study also supports a common lament — a few do most of the work. Ten per cent of volunteers in 2010 accounted for an astonishing 53 per cent of all the volunteer hours put in, the study noted. Their dedication amounts to more than 390 hours, or the equivalent of 10 weeks at a full-time job. Another 15 per cent of volunteers logged between 161 and 390 hours. An outmigration of youth in rural areas typically results in a few people doing the lion’s share of volunteering, said Mian. And they’re getting worn down. “What we’re seeing in rural communities right now is burnout, big time,” she said. One of the major problems in attracting volunteers results from a mismatch between what groups offer and what volunteers want out of the experience, Volunteer Canada found in a 2010 study. For example, many would-be volunteers seek out group activities, but few organizations On a sunny morning in mid-May Don and Dorothy McKay of Elm Creek were planting dozens of annuals to beautify can’t offer these experiences.
