Saskatoon’s latest anti-fluoride campaign is taking aim at one of the city’s top officials.
Posters up downtown Saskatoon lay the blame for city’s water fluoridation squarely at the feet of the city’s utility services manager Jeff Jorgenson.
The posters quote Jorgenson speaking a city council meeting back in December 2012 where he said that the fluoride in Saskatoon’s water was “completely safe.”
The man who designed the poster is standing behind the claims, even while the leaders of Saskatoon’s anti-fluoride movement distance themselves from it.
“He made those comments. I’m just telling people what he said,” said Kris Eyvendson, an anti-fluoride advocate who put up the posters. “The only reason fluoride is in the water is to medicate people. I don’t think the government has the right to medicate the people against their will.”
Fluoridated water is endorsed by virtually every credible health organization in North America, including Health Canada, the Centre for Disease Control and numerous dental associations.
But in recent years, a number of Canadian cities have stopped adding the chemical into their water supply. Waterloo, Calgary and Windsor are among the most recent major municipalities to stop adding fluoride. Smaller municipalities like Okotoks, Alta., Lasalle, Ont., and Moncton, N.B. have also quit adding fluoride......

The public water supply should never have been used to deliver a drug. Once added to the water you cannot control the dose, you cannot control who gets the medicine, no doctor is checking side effects such as individual susceptibly, it is taken for life in every glass of water and it violates individual’s right to informed consent.
Medical professionals should be ashamed to support such a crude and unethical practice which results in cancer, thyroid & pineal gland damage, broken hips from brittle bones, lowered IQ, kidney disease, arthritis and other serious health problems.
