Having had in my practice six cases of corrosive poisoning from eating canned tomatoes, finding that none of our works on toxicology gave any information on the dangers of canned goods, and none of the medical works accessible furnished anything to guide the physician on this subject, After consulting the chemist and former chemist of the Board of Health of Brooklyn and gaining no information from them, it was thought proper that the matter should be brought before this society, from which has emanated so many laws beneficial to the community; that by means of the advice obtained from the eminent lawyers, physicians, and chemists composing your body, such knowledge should be secured as will be of service to physicians in the future should similar cases unfortunately occur in their practice, and necessary legislation be obtained, if that be deemed advisable, to prevent these dangers hereafter.

Cases of severe sickness have been reported from time to time in various parts of the country from eating canned foods.

I know of none of these that have been thoroughly sifted so as to place the matter in reliable form before those competent to judge of a matter so important to the community as its food supply.

While there is no doubt that the preservation of food in hermetically sealed cans has added much to the health and comfort of the public, still it is no less certain that unscrupulous tradesmen have dealt in damaged, unsound, and unwholesome canned food, and that serious sickness has occurred therefrom, both in this country and abroad, till public confidence has been shaken and a large portion of the community look with doubt and distrust upon all food thus preserved.

District Southern California's Fall Hop Rub is September 24th at Everywhere Beer and Union Station, downtown LA.

District Ontario has a Canning and Packaging Tech Talk, October 7th at Burdock Brewery in Toronto.

District New England's Fall Technical is October 9th at Jack's Abbey.

District Philly's fall meeting is also October 9th at Gretz Brewing in Elverson.

That's right.

Grumpy neighbours and residents in Carlton have poo-pooed picnics and hanging out on Canning, Rathdown and Drummond Seas.

So there's green spaces all along there.

Nanny state.

That is incredible.

And if you've ever been...

Sorry, I lived on Rathdown Street and Canning Street.

Oh, two of the three streets.

I have to say, I'm not a preserver in the common sense.

Canning just isn't really my thing.

I love canned products, but it's just not my joy.

But I love projects like this.

So

you're making your sauce and then just canning that so it's ready to go.

Canning your sauce.

So kind of walk us through on what that looks like on how you did that with the tomato sauce.

Oh, I did like I roasted my tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, basil.

Struck dumb.

Very few persons know that the poem called Ulm and Trafalgar was written by Canning.

He composed it, as George Ellis told me, in about two days, while he walked up and down the room.

Indeed, very few persons know that such a poem exists.

After Legge was appointed Bishop of Oxford, he had the folly to ask two wits, Canning and Freer, to be present at his first sermon.

Well, said he to Canning, how did you like it? I thought it was rather short.

Oh yes, I'm aware that it was short, but I was afraid of being tedious.

You were tedious.

And had I not Had the crowd to source with, I wouldn't have known that really important thing.

Canning bookcase, crowdsourced, right? Somebody came through who knows how to do bookcases really well, who was willing to teach me how to use some of the woodworking tools I've never used before.

So there you go.

I'm in the middle of learning how to use...

But I was able to bring in efficiency layers through my relationship with Chef Brett and Chef Ken, who are in the network because they're interested in the topics we talk about.

So all in all, I think back to that first day when, when we started and started the podcast.

And the reason I started is I was just looking to start a repository of skills for people who want-- who are starting out in their homestead journey, and particularly skills I was already good at, like food preservation and cooking the food and making it taste good that you grow, right? Canning, cheese making, pickling, those sorts of things.

And what f- quickly started happening was other experts showed up, and we started making the repository bigger.

I mean, Hastie is considered future leadership material, as are you, James.

Are you worried that One Nation is targeting him specifically in Canning?

Well, I find it very difficult to understand.

Pauline Hanson says her number one objective is to get rid of Anthony Albanese and the Labor Party, to remove them from government.

He eulogized the system of rotten boroughs since it favored the return to Parliament of young men of great abilities who, without the patronage of nobles, would fail in popular elections.

And he cited the cases of Pitt, Fox, Burke, Canning, Percival, and others who represented Appleby, Old Sarum, Wendover, and other places almost without inhabitants.

Sir Charles Weatherall, Mr. Crocker, and Sir Robert Peel substantially took the same view.

Lord Althorp, Mr. Hume, O'Connell, and others supported the government.

Half-caste women were bought and sold and flogged and branded.

As early as 1823, Fowl Buxton, then in Parliament, furnished with facts by Zachary Macaulay, who had been a manager of a West India estate, brought in a motion for the abolition of slavery.

Canning was then the leading member of the House of Commons, although he did not go so far as Buxton, still he did something to remedy the evils of the system, and was supported by Brougham, Macintosh, and Lushington, so that the flogging of women was abolished and married slaves were not separated from their children.

In 1830 Henry Brougham introduced a motion for the total abolition of slavery in the British colonies, and thrilled the House by his eloquence and passion, but his motion was defeated.
