The Winds of Change – we’re just getting started!

By the Prevent Cancer Now team

Justin Trudeau and his new Liberal team swept into Ottawa, with a cabinet full of well-qualified, fresh faces and energy to make big, important changes for improved science and evidence-based decision-making, leading to healthier Canadians. We’ll update you on our election wish-list.

We’re also bringing you updates on a wide variety of cancer prevention concerns:

• Pesticides
• does glyphosate cause cancer? the Roundup turn-around
• how duplicity in the US is leading to de-registration of a key pesticide for genetically engineered seeds
• Asbestos and the quest for scientific integrity
• Radiofrequency radiation (RFR) and doses in children’s brains
• Nuclear power
• PCN input – disaster planning in the Greater Toronto Area
• Pembroke is so polluted with tritium that it is a real-life laboratory

… and neither last nor least, recipes for scrumptious, healthy treats over the holidays!
