In America they have approved a bunch of GM crops, including soy, corn, wheat, cotton etc.
Canola is a highly genetically modified crop that many Canadian farmers plant because of the high yields in good years.

Soybeans and corn are also included in that category.

I don't agree with the policies of Monsanto either, but you're being a bit paranoid if you think the border deal will create an even bigger problem. The problem already exists. Only way to get away from it is to grow your own stuff.
