FLUORIDE: Calgary Fights To Make Sense... Will The Rest Of Canada Follow?

.

Just a head's up, I'd heard about the decision beforehand but forgot about it in the flotsam and jetsam (what is that anyway?) of info that comes down the electronic pike. Calgary's City Council was set to vote on whether or not to keep fluoridating their water on January 26th. A search of "calgary" on Google News had nothing. But, "calgary fluoride" popped-up a confusing mix of stories keeping the "debate" alive.

("They" (?) really don't want us talking about this.)

Fluoride is a local issue that can actually help people build organic relationships that aren't controlled and corrupted by the mass media and designed to depress us later when they fail, like Obama, Wikileaks, Egypt Protests and more. Abstract notions of sending good vibes into the universe to support causes we don't know much about isn't as worthwhile as getting together and working on something where we live.

("They" (?) really don't want us talking to each other.)

Below are links to help us figure this out. We've been taught to keep it positive and avoid disagreeing when repeating propaganda. So, we can't help each other figure it out. We're just supposed to celebrate what's worth celebrating, which means lots of people must be behind it, which means it's propaganda. We get mentally hogtied by the media telling us what to cheer for and when. Can we make our own fun too?

("They" (?) really don't want us figuring out how to win.)

See the evidence of an over-flowing public meeting below. When busy people see a chance achieve something, many will take the time. One idea is getting a petition going to show public support, then giving all of our City councillors a copy of "The Fluoride Deception" on DVD, then getting them to watch it and meet with people for an hour within a month. Can we ask our politicians to do two hours of work for us?

("They" (?) really don't want us to get our politicians back.)

Fluoride is the feud that won't die

It may be the most debated issue in the city's history, and we're at it again. As city council readies to again vote on fluoridated water, veterans of past battles look back with the same passion that drove them in the first place.

It was the fall of 1989. Madonna's Like a Prayer blasted on radios, stores were filled with acid-wash jeans and moviegoers awaited the release of Michael J. Fox's Back to the Future II.

And once again, Calgarians were talking fluoride.

Newspaper articles described the virtues of adding fluoride to water to prevent tooth decay since the '40s.

But in plebiscites in 1957, 1961, 1966 and 1971 Calgarians continued to say no.

Desperate to avoid a no vote in a fifth plebiscite, Calgary Health Services launched a $50,000 public information campaign in 1989.

It set up one of the most divisive public health fights this city has ever seen.

Calgary fluoride debate delayed to Jan. 26 to allow more input

Jason Markusoff | Calgary Herald | January 11, 2011

Council will delay deciding on the future of fluoride in Calgary’s water system until a public hearing later this month, but one aldermen questions whether members’ minds are already made up and that a hearing would be largely ceremonial.

Ten of 15 aldermen had lent signatures to a motion Monday that would have ended Calgary’s 20 years of fluoridation without any formal public input.

Committee recommends Calgary gets rid of fluoride in drinking water

CHQR Radio Vancouver | January 26, 2011

A city committee has a recommendation to take to council on whether to keep fluoride in Calgary's drinking water. After more than ten hours of public debate and discussion, council will be asked to stop fluoridation. More than 50 people signed up to speak in council chambers on Wednesday, where the meeting was held, away from the usual committee room because of the sheer volume of people looking to take in the hearing.

Aldermen almost evenly divided on fluoride question: Herald survey

Jason Markusoff | Calgary Herald | January 31, 2011

Fluoridation: scrap it, keep it, study it or put it to plebiscite?

Those four options will come before city council next Monday after its utilities and environment committee recommended this past week an end to 20 years of adding fluoride to Calgary's water supply.

When in doubt, take the fluoride out

Naomi Lakritz | Calgary Herald | January 31, 2011

Everyone is suddenly using the F-word.

Fluoride.

I don't recall the issue surfacing during the civic election campaign last fall. But suddenly council wants to talk about removing fluoride from Calgary's drinking water and, just as suddenly, everyone is weighing in with instant vehemence, as if they'd been fulminating on it for a long time and the fulminations, unable to simmer below the surface any more, have burst forth. A couple of weeks ago, the word "fluoride" wasn't on anyone's lips and, I think it's safe to say, the vast majority of people were filling their glasses with tap water with nary a thought to it.

Now it's an instant hot-button item. Weird.
