Dorval city officials are still encouraging residents to sign a petition against overnight flights at Montréal-Trudeau Airport.

About 1,100 signatures have been collected since the petition was launched in June. People have until Oct. 3 to sign the petition. At that time, the city will forward it to the federal authorities and to Aéroports de Montréal (ADM). The city demands ADM develop more equitable solutions to noise management at the airport, with a view to achieving a better balance in the sharing of the associated irritants.

The petition, available in all Dorval municipal buildings since June, is an initiative of Dorval city council, which is opposed, with some exceptions for special circumstances, to flights between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., regardless of the weight or tonnage of the aircraft, or any other operational criterion applied to allow such operations. The number of overnight flights has increased annually to a point where in 2007, they numbered around 19,000, city officials stated.

Fluoride flows again Fluoride is once again being added to Dorval's potable water. After having fluoride in its water for 50 years, the municipality had to stop adding it in 2003 because its installations had become obsolete. A government subsidy of $400,000 was allotted to upgrade the system at the city's water-treatment plant. Fluoride was flowing again ion Dorval as of last Wednesday. Though there some people opposed to fluoridated water because of health concerns, Dorval city officials say it is safe and helps prevents cavities. “After waiting for many years, I’m very happy to offer once again fluoridated water to all our citizens. Fluoridation is a safe and effective public health measure to fight tooth decay and we are proud that all residents of the City of Dorval will benefit from it," stated Mayor Edgar Rouleau. Pointe Claire also adds fluoride to its drinking water which its sells to five neighbouring municipalities, Beaconsfield, Kirkland and Baie d'Urfé (in their entirety), and parts of Ste. Anne de Bellevue and Dollard des Ormeaux.

    Beyond the lack of benefit of ingested fluorides The H2SiF6 product used in 90% of fluoridation for price reasons has yet to be tested for health or benefit with chronic use with emperical data. The science clearly shows the assumptions made false if you just consider conversion to fluoride ion. Waterloowatch.com at the top of the Home page has TWO new full lead studies which show corrosion and leaching extreme concerns that are often ignored. This product is excellent for leaching lead into a homes water and damaging pipes if conditions at the water plant are anything other then perfect it gets worse. In the real world it is rarely perfect. Especially read the first few pages of the Coplan study. This water engineer is one of the tops and has many patients for processes.The simplistic assurances by the health department show ignorance not science. See AWWA b703-06 tyo understand the standard for this product and read the full page of contaminates with arsenic often not far from rejecting the batch. The public is not informed of this nor does the water department routinely get a specification sheet. They are just told the product passed. Until 1997 the EPA did not even admit the many radioactive decay products contained. In Florida we had uranium recovery units to remove yellowcake from the acid. When the price fell they just deceided to leave all the radioactivity in the products. Unmentioned to the public. Trust less research more. You are being deceived by people that only know policy not science.
