But to make the farmer a party to the action is weird.  I wonder if his
lawyer even thought to file ....."?

Perhaps the canola farmer can sue the beekeeper/pollinator that he
contracted for pollinating his fields for pollinating the other farmer's
GMO crops. He could also sue the beekeeper on the Monsanto side of the
fence for "Monsanto's Bees" carrying GMO pollen to his own line
of "heritage" crops and causing irreverseable harm to his seed.

If enough beekeepers got sued then no beekeeper would want to place a hive
within 5 miles of a Monsanto field, and Monsanto would have to go into the
beekeeping business, then perhaps Monsanto would want probably want to
Roundup all the bees in Canada by creating a GMO that is specialized in
attracting bees only to Monsanto's plants! Now that would really be a
Roundup!
