[All] Waterloo Fluoridation Panel Discussion / Debate June 17th, 2010 (7:00 pm to 8:30 pm)

[Robert J. Fleming]

Hello,

 

A live televised water fluoridation panel discussion and debate (the first
of three in a series) will be held in the Waterloo Memorial Recreation
Complex Hauser Hass, 2nd Floor, 101 Father David Bauer Drive, Waterloo.
This live telecast runs from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm (90 minutes), therefore it
is suggested you arrive earlier than 7:00 pm so as not to disrupt the live
proceedings.

 

This is a free event, hosted by Rogers TV and moderated by Mike Farwell of
‘Talk Local’ on Rogers TV, Cable 20.  In addition to the moderated panel
discussion, the forum will be opened up for questions from the audience.
This event will be featured as a ‘Talk Local - Live Special’ on Rogers TV,
Cable 20.  An encore presentation will air again at 9:00 pm that same night.

 

The panel will be comprised of four panelists:

The City of Waterloo has had artificially fluoridating municipal drinking
water since 1966 (i.e. 44 years).  The only and last fluoridation vote was
held in 1981-82 (1981 vote contested, then a 1982 re-vote).  No records
exist indicating any prior fluoridation vote by the public.  It seems the
City of Waterloo Council of the day may have passed fluoridation
unilaterally.  What little available detail exists on Waterloo’s
fluoridation history can be found at www.waterloowatch.com/history.html

 

In 1972 we became a two-tier municipality.  As such, the Region of Waterloo
(upper tier) then assumed responsibility for municipal water treatment,
including fluoridation.  The lower tier municipalities, however, still
maintained responsibility for their own municipal water distribution.

 

The Region of Waterloo is comprised of seven lower tier municipalities.
(i.e. City of Kitchener, City of Waterloo, City of Cambridge, Township of
Wilmot, Township of Wellesley, Township of Woolwich, and Township of North
Dumfries)

 

The City of Waterloo is the only member of the Region of Waterloo to ever
officially fluoridate its municipal drinking water supply.  Kitchener has
always voted ‘no’ to water fluoridation.

 

Parts of Kitchener, and most of Woolwich Township (including the towns of
Elmira and St. Jacobs) have been receiving Waterloo’s chemically fluoridated
water unofficially and without citizens’ knowledge or consent for some
decades now.  These outlying cross-fluoridated communities, as well as the
City of Waterloo, will be jointly and concurrently voting on the upcoming
fluoridation ballot question set for October 25th, 2010.  This fluoridation
vote is being held at the same time we are to elect new municipal candidates
(upper and lower tier) into office.

 

The Region fluoridates the municipal drinking water with ‘hydrofluorosilicic
acid’, containing silicofluoride plus trace co-contaminates arsenic, lead,
mercury and radionuclides.

 

Note that in 2009 the Ontario Dental Association and the Royal College of
Dental Surgeons of Ontario were forced to admit that they don’t actually
have water fluoridation science in hand.  As such, they now are stating that
Health Canada and Pubic Health will have that science, or will point us to
it.  Imagine that
 after 65 years of fluoridation in Canada (Brantford began
fluoridating in 1945) the outspoken pro-fluoridation lobby contingent of
dentists only now admit they don’t actually have fluoridation science in
hand.

 

On October 25th, 2010 the Region of Waterloo ballot question for those
receiving fluoridated water will read:  “Should the Region of Waterloo
fluoridate your municipal water?”  Yes or No?

 

Please come out, ask questions and learn about artificial municipal water
fluoridation (hydrofluorosilicic acid) in order to prepare yourself for this
very important vote. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Robert J. Fleming (Executive Director, WaterlooWatch)
