Oh dear. This should be interesting. The NDP being stupid being posted on an Alberta based forum.
First, I think the question MUST have been skewed. If that is the question that was asked, of course 9 out of 10 would say yes. "Do you want to know what you are eating?" would get a huge "YES" almost anywhere in the world.
The hard part is that my party is promoting the labelling. I think I'll write Mulcair and work within the party to change. I don't know where the Liberals currently sit, but Ignatieff was very upfront that he was against any labelling since it is SUGGESTIVE that something is wrong. Ignatieff also said that he believed GMOs to be perfectly safe.
The issue isn't strong enough for me to quit my membership of the NDP, but I think it is the responsibility of the party members to point out when the party is being stupid and have them fix their platform accordingly.
