@RichardDias_CFA I’m assuming you’re referring to the part that it has nothing to do with kids.

@FrankVeri I knew it was banned in Canada but didn’t know this story behind it. Thank you for sharing & Dr Chopra.

🍁 🍁🍁🍁🍁
Monsanto wanted its growth hormone in every glass of Canadian milk. One government scientist stood in the way and his own bosses spent 14 years trying to destroy him for it.

His name was Dr. Shiv Chopra.

Born in India, 1934. Came to Canada in the 1960s. PhD in microbiology. Senior scientist at Health Canada's Bureau of Veterinary Drugs. 35 years reviewing drug applications. Approve the safe ones. Reject the unsafe ones. Protect the public.

For 20 years he did it quietly.

Then Monsanto came knocking.

A new drug. Bovine growth hormone. Brand name Posilac. Inject it into dairy cows, get 10-15% more milk. Bigger profits for the industry. Far bigger profits for Monsanto. The FDA had rubber-stamped it in 1993. Monsanto expected Canada to follow.

The file landed on Chopra's desk.

He started reading the science. He started finding holes.

The data was thin. Long-term safety studies were missing. The cow studies that did exist showed lameness, mastitis, reproductive failure, shortened lifespans.

If it was doing that to the cow, what was it doing to the milk?

His recommendation: reject it. Demand real safety data.

His managers had a different idea.

Approve it. The Americans approved it. Why are you holding it up? Just sign off.

He refused.

So the pressure started. Closed-door meetings. Attempts to pull the file and hand it to someone friendlier. Gag orders don't talk to the media, don't talk to anyone. Suspensions. Reprimands. Demotions. Dead-end reassignments.

He kept refusing.

Two other scientists refused with him. Dr. Margaret Haydon. Dr. Gérard Lambert. Same data. Same alarm. Same answer.

In 1998 the Canadian Senate launched an investigation into what was happening inside Health Canada.

Chopra and his colleagues did something almost nobody does. They walked into the Senate and testified under oath. Said managers were pressuring them to approve unsafe drugs. Said industry was running the regulator. Said the system was broken.

It made headlines around the world.

In 1999, Health Canada rejected Monsanto's application. rBGH would not be approved. Europe banned it next. Then most of the developed world.

Sit with that. One immigrant scientist in Ottawa beat one of the largest chemical corporations on Earth — and won.

Then his own government fired him for winning.

July 14, 2004. After 35 years of service, Health Canada fired Chopra, Haydon, and Lambert on the same day. Official reason: insubordination. Real reason: he embarrassed them in front of the country.

The same year, the Prime Minister mailed him a gold watch for "illustrious service." While they were firing him. He called it comedy.

He sued to clear his name. The fight took 13 years. He lost appeal after appeal. The final ruling came down in 2017. Three months later, in January 2018, he died. 83 years old. Never reinstated. Never given his pension back. Never owed an apology by anyone.

But here is what they could never take back.

rBGH is still banned in Canada today. Every glass of Canadian milk is still hormone-free — because one man refused to sign.

And the United States? Never banned it. It's still legal there. Right now.

He kept it out of Canada and they fired him. The system he fought is still pouring it into glasses across the border.

So tell me below was Shiv Chopra a hero, or just a troublemaker who got what was coming to him? Pick a side. Because someone in those meetings is still telling scientists to "just sign off."

These people just don’t get it and never will. Canada’s affordability problem is really a productivity problem.

[Pascal Anglehart @DemosKratosCA]

Just to be clear, as so many retarded Canadians don't seem to understand: I don't care if 13 year olds can't access social media.
I care that we adults will have to identify ourselves and have our activity tracked by a totalitarian government.
Fuck sake, Canadians are stupid.

@strauss_matt Thank you!

[Steve Saretsky @SteveSaretsky]

Wow

[CDN_Karma @cdn_karma]

Because Airlines give MPs massive perks..

Free top level status for life..
Free concierge..
Town car service (for ones they really like)
Free upgrades for their companions.
Free lounge access for life (and not the peasant lounge, the top tier lounges)
They get to get loyalty points for trips our taxes paid for, and we buy them business class so thats bonus points)

Some earn enough points to get free vacations every year for nearly life over their tenure.

Would you give that up?

$28 three times a week becomes an actual halfway decent retirement fund, if you put it in the S&P500 for a few times a week!

@1True_American_ The stores have no stock….you go to the store and selection is poor..store associate says order it online. The model is causing them to fail.

@SteveSaretsky That’s sad.

DAMN IT! For Years We Thought Today Was A Canadian Holiday

May 24!
Victoria Day!
Beginning of Summer!

All those years we were wrong: its Actually Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day

Put down the beers
Get off the patio
Stop fishing
Stop Camping

It's a solemn day of Remembrance

ABC News 20/20 aired this in 1999.

You would never find something like this on a major news station today. The pharmaceutical industry has made sure of it.

Listen to what a pathologist, hired by the family, says after the coroner labeled the infant's death as "SIDS" 💔

🥩 Same cow. Same cut.
Different country. 2× the price.

🇦🇺 Australia ships steak across the planet for $24/kg.

🇨🇦 Canada can’t move it across a province for under $52/kg.

This isn’t climate.

This isn’t transport.

This is policy + supply management + cartel pricing.🙄

When food is cheaper from 14,000 km away, the problem isn’t farmers .

it’s the system. 🇨🇦

It MIGHT be over 20 degrees Celsius in Toronto on Saturday. If that happens, it will conclude a 31-day run of high temps being under 20 degrees (Monday, May 4th was beautiful but got to 19 degrees only).

So if you think this spring has been utterly lousy & devoid of joy because of the weather - you are correct.

The last day that was 20 degrees was Tuesday, April 14.

The most recent day to be OVER 20 degrees was Monday, October 19th - it's been 206 days straight since Toronto had a high temperature reading over 20 degrees. Can't prove it's a record in the modern era, or my lifetime (which is the same!) but I'd put it up there.

Gross.

@LionAdvocacy @CanTrueCrime How is this form legal? Many questions would fall under PHIPA. I have no right to report on anyone else’s health issues ranging from depression, cognitive issues, anxiety, hearing, vision, sexual identity etc. Those questions should only be answered by consenting individual…
