BE IT RESOLVED that the Green Party seeks to introduce and support legislation that will ban artificial fluoridation products in public drinking water.
Motion Operative:
WHEREAS the Green Party affirms that the precautionary principle should be used where there is evidence of potential harm in the absence of complete scientific consensus.
WHEREAS no statistical difference exists in rates of dental caries between areas that use artificial water fluoridation chemicals and those that do not (Statistics Canada);
WHEREAS fluoride is not removed in sewage treatment and remains a toxic constituent of the effluent discharged by treatment plants to rivers and lakes, and background levels of fluoride in the Great Lakes exceed the Canadian Water Quality Guideline (CWQG) for aquatic species, and fluoride concentrations in sewage effluent are 5-10 times in excess of the CWQG. At these concentrations fluoride is known to be toxic to a variety of water species such as salmon, caddisfly, daphnia & others;
WHEREAS the use of drinking water to deliver medications is not medically or environmentally sustainable, and the use of unregulated, unapproved medications in drinking water, without a prescription or informed consent is medically and environmentally not sustainable, and the daily dose of fluoride cannot be controlled and health effects from fluoride are not monitored;
Green Party of Canada website 22 August 2010 an area that has traditionally been within the jurisdiction of the provinces.
WHEREAS 97 percent of Europe does not use artificial water fluoridation products in their public drinking water supply, and 94 percent of the world’s population does not use artificial water fluoridation products in their public water supply;
Motion Preamble:
WHEREAS fluoridation products such as hexafluorosilicic acid and sodium silicofluoride are toxic by-products scrubbed from the smokestacks of the phosphate mining industry, and less than one percent of treated water is actually ingested by people and the remaining 99 percent is discharged into the environment…

The Queensland Greens:
Extract from their policy document ↓
36. Ensure fluoridation of potable water, to be funded by the state government.
The Australian Greens are divided about science and when
it comes to fluoridation, or, far worse, vaccination; and
a large majority are firmly against all forms of
Genetic Engineering, which is a big problem
for The Greens Party of Australia.

It is a conflict of policy to be
pro-fluoridation and anti-nuclear!
– We at ‘Fluoridation Queensland’ are
anti-fluoridation & anti-nuclear.-
This split could be the end of Australian Greens!
Some one needs to explain to me why wanting clean drinking water
makes you an activist, and why proposing to destroy water with
chemical warfare doesn’t make a corporation a terrorist.”

[She ran for vice president as the nominee of the
Green Party of the United States, on a ticket headed by Ralph Nader.]
There is no fluoridation in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland
