	GE Canola--A disaster on the Canadian Prairies
		Wheat is one of the most important crops to Canadian farmers 90 per cent of whom are opposed to the introduction of the GM variety.
		Mr Neville is the latest Canadian farmer to be contarr.inated by GM seed that has blown across the so-called buffer zones designed to isolate GM from other crops.
		But Canadians are convinced that GM technology is pushing Nature too far, and are fighting to reclaim their land from the 'corporate scientists'.

	Canadian Prairies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Canadian prairies is a large area of flat sedimentary land stretching throughout western Canada between the Canadian Shield in the east and the Canadian Rockies.
		The southern Canadian prairies, supporting brown and fl soil types, are semi-arid and highly prone to frequent and severe droughts.
		The eastern section of the Canadian prairies in Manitoba, is well watered with several large lakes such as Lake Winnipeg, and several large rivers.

		Prairie refers to an area of land in North America of low topographic relief that principally supports grasses and herbs, with few trees, and is generally of a mesic (moderate or temperate) climate.
		The Canadian prairies is a vast area of flat sedimentary land that stretches from Ontario and the Canadian Shield to the Canadian Rockies covering much of the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta – the Prairie Provinces.
		The prairies are one of the world's most important farming areas with two of the most important commodities being wheat grown in the southern prairies and beef cattle raised in Alberta.

	Western Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although many Canadians include the province of British Columbia (BC) in the generic region of "Western Canada", many British Columbians tend to distinguish themselves from the other three Western provinces and see their province as constituting a geographic region of its own, known as the "West Coast" or the "Pacific".
		BC is considered to be part of the Canadian geographical region known as the Western Cordillera, while the three provinces to its east are situated on the Prairies.
		In Canadian politics, the term "the West" is often used as shorthand for the supposedly Conservative leanings of Western Canadians, as contrasted with the supposed liberalism of Central Canada.

		Commuting on the Canadian Prairies and the Urban/Rural Divide
		The Canadian Prairies were selected as the focal point for this study because of the relatively clear delineation between urban and rural areas in this region.
		Canadian Prairie geography is also a good representation of Christaller and Losch's central-place hierarchy, used to predict the number, size, and scope of cities in a region (O'Sullivan, 1990).

		In the late nineteenth century, the Canadian government began to concern itself with encouraging the further settlement of the prairies.
		He was determined to increase the population and the agricultural output of the Canadian prairies, and intended to do so by remaking the immigration service that had come under his control.
		One such plan, the Three Thousand Families project, saw a wave of migrants arrive in the prairies in 1925 with the guarantee of financial aid from the British government to purchase farm equipment and aid from the Canadian government in the forms of financing for farm purchases, placement on farms, and practical instruction in agriculture.

	ESPN Outdoors - Canadian prairies: Dust bowls in the future (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		TORONTO — Canada's prairies are almost certain to experience future droughts far worse than the dry period that turned the region into a dust bowl during the 1930s, a new study warns.
		Although Canada as a whole is blessed with an abundance of fresh water, the prairies lie in the rain shadow of the Rocky Mountains and are the largest dry area of southern Canada.
		For those living on the prairies, one of the most disturbing findings from the study was that summertime river flows have been falling precipitously and are 20 percent to 84 percent lower than they were in the early 20th century.

	Populism and Democratic Thought in the Canadian Prairies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		In Populism and Democratic Thought in the Canadian Prairies, 1910-1945, David Laycock continues this tradition by drawing upon Ernesto Laclau's analysis of populism for theoretical guidance.
		The result is a fascinating survey of the idea of democracy as it was articulated in populist thought between the `Siege of Ottawa' in 1910 and the 1944 CCF victory in Saskatchewan.
		For Laycock, prairie farmers are petit bourgeois; what is at issue is the nature of the thought generated in the context of that social position.

	Alliances For Recapturing Wealth on the Canadian Prairies 2001
		The challenge of developing a strategy to explore, develop and exploit alliances designed to recapture wealth on the Canadian prairies was one to which participants turned their attention during the workshop sessions.
		Called “Recapturing Wealth on the Canadian Prairies”, the conference was a chance to bring together thoughtful and provocative speakers who were able to challenge each other as well as conference participants - both rural and urban - to come up with an inclusive vision of the future of agriculture.
		The organizers of this event firmly believe that the vibrancy of the community that are the Canadian Prairies is highly dependent on the well-being, on the wealth of agricultural producers and the commitment to rural communities and rural-based enterprises.

	ABSTRACT: Impact of increased aridity on sand dune activity in theCanadian Prairies. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The possible impact of increased aridity on sand dune activity on the Canadian Prairies is evaluated by comparing dune mobility indices for the period 1961-1990 to those for the 1988 drought year.
		Using a scenario in which drought conditions of 1988 were prolonged, dune activity in the region is predicted to increase with the most arid localities having active dunes accompanied by vegetated interdune areas.
		The central region of the prairies would have a semi-arid rather than sub-humid climate, with P:PE ratios as low as 0.30.

		The cool climate of the Canadian Prairies may be an advantage in producing this type of oil.
		At present, Canadian producers are not likely to have access to safflower meal, but they may be able to use the whole seed in rations.
		The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) (in Canada) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) (in the USA) have placed a host of restrictions on the numerous crops that are used for molecular farming purposes but many of the features possessed by safflower make it a lower risk production platform.

		Winter conditions that are experienced on the Canadian Prairies result in natural ground freezing to a depth of 1.5 m to 3.5 m (Wheaton,1998a).

		The ritual of carting grain in to be weighed and scooped up into tall storage bins provided the farmers one of their rare occasions to exchange news and views with others and to gather supplies at nearby stores.
		Fewer than 1,200 prairie cathedrals remain standing, and many of those, as this book shows, are peeling, decaying, groaning in the wind.

		According to Mike Anderson, Canadian director of IWWR, pintails were once almost as numerous as mallards, the most common duck on the Prairies.
		Threats to pintails on the Prairies include wetland habitat loss, the conversion of grassland to cropland and nest predation.

		It was motivated by the fact that the original country elevators were being demolished at the rate of 50 or more per year in Alberta alone.
		These ubiquitious sentinels were the dominant prairie structures for the most part of the twentieth century and were now rapidly disappearing.
		The relatively close spacing of the country elevators was required in the early part of the century because it was a practical distance that farmers could haul grain from their farms using horses and grain wagons over primitive roads.
