Man started my research, and it pissed me off. How many of you can honestly say that you know what kings of simple household things that you use that are safe. I'm not a genius,or an expert on toxicology but I do know now everything in my home is a potential hazzard.
What about the cleaners we use. Well guys here is an excerp from an article I came across. http://leas.ca/CancerSmart-Consumer-Guide.htm
CancerSmart Consumer Guide.
"The easy-to-read booklet goes into comprehensive detail about a vast array of chemicals, such as 2-butoxyethanol--a suspected cardiovascular, developmental, endocrine, liver, kidney, and reproductive toxicant found in products like Fantastic Lemon Scent Cleaner and Tilex Total Bathroom Multipurpose Cleaner--and ethoxylated nonylphenol, a suspected endocrine toxicant, which is in Purex Liquid Laundry Detergent and VIP Regular Detergent."
"silica is a known carcinogen and is suspected of being toxic to the gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidney, and respiratory system. The CancerSmart Consumer Guide lists silica as an ingredient in Ajax Cleaner With Bleach, Comet Powder With Chlorinol, and Twinkle Copper and Brass Cleaner. Then there's trisodium nitrilotriacetate, a known carcinogen, found in All, Sunlight, and Wisk laundry detergents."
OhKay when is the government going to stand up and do their job and start protecting us from all this crap. We need better labelling on these products and better governance of the chemicals so that we the consumer can make a wiser choice of household products. Do you want to see changes? Here is how you can help pesuade our elected officials to do a better job. Write a letter, and keep writing letters to:
Environment Canada
Deputy Minister - Shugart, Ian
Les Terrasses de la ChaudièreNorth Tower, 27th Floor
10 Wellington Street
Gatineau, Quebec
K1A 0H
Public Safety
Deputy Minister - Hurtubise, Suzanne
269 Laurier Avenue West, Room 1919
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0P8
or:
Health Canada
Deputy Minister - Rosenberg, Morris A.
Brooke Claxton Building
Tunney's Pasture
70 Columbine Driveway, Room 1526B
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0K9
Go ahead write to all of them, start demanding that they do their job and protest us Canadians from a untimely and a certain painful death of Cancer.

My Achy Breaky Heart
Man, I feel like the whole world is falling down and around my ears. Got a call from my Mother, Uncle Henry is not doing to good and thye are calling all the family together because they don't think he will make it the rest of the week. !@#$ CANCER, it's all over him and he is no longer able to go to the bathroom and the cancer is eating away at his bones and muscular system and he is no longer able to walk. And if that was not enough my mom called again little later on in the evening and she was crying. "Shoot me , shoot me, please just shoot me now, Kim!" What's the matter mom what's going on? my auntie Carol who was diagnosed with lung cancer yesterday, she will be going in to the Cancer Center in Calgary to find out what stage, what the prognosis is, and is there anyway to stop it from killing her too. So folks that makes it 4 in the family with terminal cancers. My uncle with prostate cancer, a cousin with stomach cancer and one of my aunts with oarian cancer and the other with lung.
I am so afraid for my mom what is she going to do, how is she going to cope with losing so many to cancer all at once. It hurts so much, the tears just won't stop rolling. I spent almost all night being bombarded with memories of times gone past, when everyone was healthy and happy. I wish there was a way to travel back in time and take away all the pain and heart ache they are suffering ans will be suffering in the near future. But I know I can't change the past, but I can try and change the future. So expect alot more from me ont the subject of cancers, but first I need to do some research and make sure I have my facts before I blog them. Till later, all prayers for all cancer victims is really appreciated.

Preamble
I have started this blog site to help me get rid of the nagging voices in my head that are crying out to be heard. I live in a small northern community that is in the heart of the biggest industrial accident waiting to happen in Canada. Our community is in the middle of Canada's biggest controversy. The Great Canadian Tar sands Development vs the health and welfare of the people living in the cesspool of toxic wastes. Many friends and family are dying a slow and agonizing death due to Cancers that are ravaging their bodies. To say that everyone I know that is dying are of an Aboriginal descent and living in the Athabasca region is wrong. Many people I know are not of aboriginal descent and have never been to Fort Chipewyan, but have worked many years in the oil sands industry.
HMMMMMMM I wonder what would happen if all Albertans called for a complete study of cancer rates in Alberta, I wonder what they would have to say? There are some people that have lived in and around oil and gas industries down south that are seriously ill with terminal cancers. What will they say if they were told the same thing we hear in Fort Chipewyan. Cancer rates are on the rise, abnormal Cancers are on the increase, and people are dying at a faster rate.
It really breaks a mothers heart to have to tell your children "I'm sorry but you can't go swimming in your local water hole because there is advisories from Health Canada not to let you swim in the Lake as it may kill you one day." That is so scary considering that I have swam in that watering hole for many years and now every little symptom they are testing me for cancer. I am 41 years old and already I have had 3 test for Cancer and am about to undergo a 4th test for yet another cancer scare. So now I am thinking 3 times lucky, is this going to be the time my luck runs out, probably but when, only time will tell.
I spend my nights by the phone and waiting for it to ring and cringing everytime it does, as it only brings bad news. First my Uncle was diagnosed with prostate cnacer in the most severe form and doesn't have long to live, and then an aunt was diagnosed with ovarian cancer of the worst kind, now a 43 year old cousin and her mother have both been diagnosed with stomach cancer. How much more worse can it get? I have friends from the Cold Lake region and it seems like everytime I call to see how things are going someone from that area is dying or have died from cancer. Everytime I turn my head there is someone else with cancer. When is it ever going to stop?
I hear in the news alot about pandemics and what not, in my opinion the pandemic is here in full force and they are not taking any prisioners.
Not even our government who are there to protect us are doing a very good job. The amount of common household products that we use on a daily basis are laced to kill us. Many products that Health Canada has approved to be sold in Canada are not that safe at all.
Why do you think the Mr. Clean icon is a big bald head man, because Mr. Clean products have a high proportionate amount of cancer causing chemicals in it. So if you use Mr. Clean products you may end up like the bald guy on the bottle.
Well I have started my blog and ramblings and the way I have been feeling about things there will be more to come.
