B.C. tobacco fight will cost millions

Article Abstract:

Tobacco companies rolled out a million-dollar campaign in response to the anti-smoking position of the British Columbia, Canada, government. Dave Laundy, the vice president of the Canadian Tobacco Manufacturer's Council in British Columbia, said the campaign will likely use radio and cost somewhere between C$500,000 and C$1 million. The provincial government is pushing for the Tobacco Sales Amendment Act, which will require tobacco firms to list every chemical found in cigarettes and cigarette smoke; the Tobacco Damages Recovery Act, which will allow the British Columbia government to take court action to make tobacco firms pay for health-care costs; and the Tobacco Fee Act, which will ask tobacco players to pay additional licensing fees.

The great margarine caper

Article Abstract:

Unilever Canada Ltd. is working to fight off Quebec's margarine coloring law, citing it as unconstitutional and in violation of 11 laws, regulations, decrees, and federal-provincial and international agreements, including NAFTA. The company earlier staged a margarine caper, importing about 500 tubs of butter-colored Country Cock margarine from the US to sell at the Consomat grocery store in Alma, near the Saguenay. The move was aimed to challenge the province's status as the only place where colored margarine is illegal.
