The canola crop always brightens up an otherwise uneventful trip from Calgary to anywhere in Southern Alberta. A true Albertan staple. God bless.

Well if a field is going to dress like that, it's asking for it.

I think the next logical step after inserting a Roundup resistance gene is to insert a gene that makes canola turn from bright yellow, to bright orange, to bright red, to pitch black. But Monsanto probably couldn't handle that much Awesome.

Once again, Mr. Cosh perpetuates the common prairie stereotype that not only are our provinces very very flat, they are also filled with crops. As a former Albertan, I am deeply offended by this.
Except to hear from the Alberta Human Rights Commission very shortly.
(Hell of a photo, though.)

I nominate Geoff's comment for a "crop-now-known-as-Canola-joke-I-wish-I'd-been-clever-enough-to-make-up" no-prize.

The good news is that for the first time ever, canola crops in Quebec are allowed to be yellow.

I second Ryan's nomination. Geoff, that was one heck of a joke.
And Mike's wasn't that bad either.

It's probably got more to do with the post-processing.
