Fukushima: Health Canada complicit in radiation cover-up says Liberal MP

The Vancouver Quadra Liberal MP has criticized Health Canada�s �negligent� job informing Canadians of potential health risks relating to radiation levels following Japan�s Fukushima disaster.

�I think they have been negligent from the perspective of being clear and transparent with Canadians about this issue, right from the beginning,� Joyce Murray told the Georgia Straight by phone.

�I think it�s fair enough to say that it�s possible that there is risk from drinking milk products or drinking rainwater and that, certainly, vulnerable people might want to reduce their consumption.�

1. Any Canadian DUers here know much about this MP?

Is she known to be a reliable source for this kind of information?

And also is Health Canada the agency in charge of administering your single-payer program?

3. As to the first, I can't tel lyou.

As to the second, not really. The provinces administer the health-care system with partial funding by the federal government. Health Canada is more akin to the FDA.

4. Hope Canadians can get more official info on the Fukushima fallout than we do.

Living in California, I'd like to hear what they find in Vancouver.

5. NOT a credible media source

Not sure about the MP in question, but that is not a credible media source for anything other than the latest crackpot theories of UFOs and the alien takeover of earth. Just read their news section if you want a fix on the journalistic reliability of that web site.
