New Water Treatment Plant on Trout Lake


No a large McMansion is not being built on the shores of Trout Lake, but this is the new water treatment plant rising amongst the homes on Lakeside Drive.

North Bay obtains its municipal water supply from Trout Lake. According to the city's water report, the water is drawn from Delaney Bay approximately 300 meters from shore.

Depopulation?

They don't mention that they POISON, OUR drinking water with "Fluoride". I have been researching this for quite some time, and came up with NOTHING good about fluoridation of OUR drinking water. Our "Government" has nothing better then it's for our teeth to say about it. However, this is very wrong. It is safe to say that the small amount such as the amount used to brush our teeth twice a day and no longer then 2 minutes per brushing is okay, but no longer then that with respect to Fluoride being a poison and told NOT to swallow also it can cause serious complications such as Dental Fluorosis in adults and children. What OUR "Government" doesn't tell us is, that Fluoride has many other adverse affects such as, Osteoporosis, Skeletal Fluorosis, cancer, Fluoride administered to animals at high doses wreaks havoc on the male reproductive system - it damages sperm and increases the rate of infertility in a number of different species, an epidemiological study from the US has found increased rates of infertility among couples living in areas with 3 or more ppm fluoride in the water, and 2 studies have found a reduced level of circulating testosterone in males living in high fluoride areas. Sodium fluoride is an extremely toxic substance -- just 200 mg of fluoride ion is enough to kill a young child, and just 3-5 grams (e.g. a teaspoon) is enough to kill an adult. Both children (swallowing tablets/gels) and adults (accidents involving fluoridation equipment and filters on dialysis machines) have died from excess exposure. Fluoridation is highly unethical because individuals are not being asked for their informed consent prior to medication. This is standard practice for all medication, and one of the key reasons why most of western Europe has ruled against fluoridation. Having said all of this I would also like to add that Once fluoride is put in the water it is impossible to control the dose each individual receives. This is because 1) some people (e.g. manual laborers, athletes, diabetics, and people with kidney disease) drink more water than others, and 2) we receive fluoride from sources other than the water supply. Other sources of fluoride include food and beverages processed with fluoridated water, fluoridated dental products, mechanically deboned meat, teas, and pesticide residues on food.
