Default GM canola spreads it's Genes.

We all thought that GM seed crops could possibly share their genetic
modifications with wild plants but this research on Canola, an oil grain
like rapeseed, in the US proves it's too late to stop. Some of the wild
plants they found had both GM genes so what will Monsanto do now, produce
more powerful weedkillers?

The EU is now licensing farmers to plant GM rapeseed crops so this is what
will happen here, herbicide resistant weeds.
