Calgary Municipal Election Megathread

adding something like fluoride to it could be viewed similar to how Vitamin D gets added to our milk products

And I have the choice as to whether or not I drink milk. See how this works?

The lowerclass can not afford it.

But they sure can afford tattoos, smokes, hair dye and Pepsi! As I mentioned, let the City provide it for free then to the people who WANT it. The lowerclass also can't afford anti depressants and I'm sure their lives are fairly depressing, should we put those in the water as well? If we don't, it could result in suicide attempts.

It is challenging to find fluoride additives to add to water that is safe for very young children (1-3 year olds). In fact most dentists recommend against this. This same age-range also can not use toothpaste with fluoride in it.

So you are saying that fluoride isn't safe in some doses. I also wonder what it does to the rest of your body, whereas toothpaste you spit out, it doesn't go through your entire digestive system.

People just do not do it

Because at the end of the day, they really don't care. And that is why it is also not a hot button election topic.
