Bottled water gushing south, but Canada gets little in return

Article Abstract:

A survey covering the North American bottled water industry showed that Canada exported 272 million liters of the product to the US in 1998. The study conducted by Hidell-Eyster International indicated that Canada even surpassed France by 4% as the largest supplier to the US. Canadian bottled water companies sell 39% of their product in the global market, which helped them post $200.2 million in revenue for 1998.

Pesticides harming good bugs along with the bad, report says

Article Abstract:

The World Wildlife Fund has issued a report indicating the harmful impact of pesticides on insects that benefit agriculture. The report,'Beneficial Bugs at Risk from Pesticides,' suggests a ban on such harmful sprays, an evaluation of genetically engineered crops and more organic farming. The report also calls for stricter enforcement, as no cases have been filed by the Pest Management Regulatory Agency against violators of the Pest Control Products Act.
