Ontario NDP Leader Bob Rae alerts health and environment critics, invites continued input, but misses the point

Although they did not have the experience on the issue had by Elie Martel, Rae?s New Democrats acted to help people who were claiming their health problems resulted from pollution. However, in the process, they eclipsed the history of persons with sensitivities, they refused to call Elston and subsequent Liberal health ministers on their misrepresentation of the findings of the Thomson committee, and their perversion of its messages by constantly referring to a compendium of disorders, with centuries of clinical experience, as the single new disease concept described by doctors of environmental medicine. The Ontario government is still invisibilizing its liability for daily unnecessary deaths and other abuses by imposing a legitimate but separate debate about environmental medicine.
