fluoridated in Canada, the United States and Australia, but
almost nowhere else in the world. Western Europe and Japan

Canadians live in communities with fluoridated tap water.</font></div>

group Eau Secours which is opposing the Charest government’s
plans to increase the fluoridation of water there from about

debate and move municipal resolutions in their community on
this issue.</font></font></div>
