Maybe the Clean Water group could apply for the grant to help for the fight to stop the mass medication of PG’s water!
Great idea!!! So why don’t you organize it?
You got less than 2 weeks to do it. Wonder if this is the first notice.
The HIV one is due by Wednesday. Is this an insiders’ process?
Good luck. Oh, you might want to read this first…

It’s still mass medication no matter how you look at it. So I guess the clean water group won’t have a chance on getting any of that grant money.
By the sounds of it fluoridation is a huge failure.

“So I guess the clean water group won’t have a chance on getting any of that grant money.”
Vocal minorities expressing concern over non-issues shouldn’t get the money.
two words for you NoWay…
Reverse osmosis…
What area does Northern Health cover? And how many communities in there area have fluoridated water? Not many is the answer.
Not practical to put a reverse osmosis system on my house. In case you didn’t know P Val you still absorb this poison through you skin.
I read you link JB do you read mine?
I read your blog sites. However, I’ll go with Northern Health and Health Canada (and many other major worldwide medical institutions).
