    1. well that basically says it all about canada’s high standards. this is pretty much what you’d expect from a dysfunctional country

    1. Saskatoon, Regina, Moose Jaw .Lead water supply pipe to houses older then 1965 .Cost me 4200$ last year in Saskatoon in conjunction with city is why its not being looked after .But they make it easy jest add it onto your taxes lol there pipe there rules poisoning me and i have to pay to make it better .

    2. “Across Canada” but they actually only tested in 11 cities, none in the Greater Vancouver area. Clickbait and disappointing journalism.

    1. @Liam Middleton Yeah I was thinking that too. Watched the whole documentary called an inconvenient truth.. Seems though in low amounts it doesn’t really have too much of an affect. Still, I agree the government shouldn’t forcibly implement fluoride into our drinking water. It should be a choice.

    1. Actually, I do believe he misspoke when he said plastic. He did correct himself immediately after with “paper drink box water bottle sort of things”

  2. I always knew something was not right with Toronto area tap water for drinking: it does not actually fully satisfy thirst, but spring water does.

  3. and this why 1 out of five of my friends have had fertility issues. also developing issues with children……

  4. I guess you’re getting what you pay for in Québec since you don’t pay for water… But other than Trudeau’s sock collection, where exactly do my taxes go if I have to test my own water, and as a renter no less? At least take me on a date before you bend me over for what’s left of my pocketbook, will ya Ottawa? Sheesh. 🤦‍♀️
