Canada is a bit different in regulating fluoride within their tap water. They do not have an EPA allowing the chemical in their drinking water, rather its decided by their municipal governments.
In a March 3rd meeting, a report was prepared, directed by their city council to provide "unbiased assessment to fluoridated public water supplies." This concept of being unbiased is new to most Americans. Most Americans have already made up their mind without reading or listening to new material being provided on a given subject.
Regardless, this debate of health may turn out to be a debate of finances, for fluoridating their water supply.
"I have real reservations about putting $2.2 million into the system when we already have huge water rates," Matichuk said. "It's very costly to have fluoride in our system, but there is also potential risk factors to our employees who have to handle the chemical in its pure form. The amount that is in our water is very minute, but people need to take it upon themselves to be educated on fluoride."
in the end the decisions appear to be the following; pose the question to residents through a plebiscite, council to simply vote on it. A plebiscite is another word for referendum. If the residents agree to remove the fluoride, the council is bound to their decision. Gee, letting the people decide sounds good to me, so long as they are educated.
