There has been a significant and positive media response to our efforts
today. There are over 40 current media stories on this.
A Canadian Press story that will run in newspapers and as broadcasts on
radio stations across the country, including the Winnipeg Free Press. The
main article is here:

-health-advocates-over-food-labels-115140224.html
A Sun Media piece that will run in the "Sun" newspapers across the country
(Toronto Ottawa, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton):

The Postmedia story that will run in papers such as the Montreal Gazette,
National Post, Ottawa Citizen, Regina Leader Post, Saskatoon Star-Phoenix,
Calgary Herald, Edmonton Journal, Victoria Times-Colonist, Vancouver Sun and
Vancouver Province:

laws/4212721/story.html
Note this has been updated from the last story. The regulations are not
dead, they are, still, at risk however which means we must continue to press
on. Media coverage such as this helps.
We have a sense of how the brewery industry is scrambling to respond by this
online story focused on smaller brewers rather than the $14 Billion industry
lobby that is opposing the regulations, here:

I urge everyone in Canada to call and email their MP and Prime Minister. We
have to keep the pressure on to get this legislation enacted immediately!
