I just skimmed it and it looks pretty cool. You might want to see if you can separate it into different pages because it takes a while to load.

Swain, we're not like you at all. Your government uses Weapons of Mass Destruction on foreign populations, Canada just uses them on their own people:

..Agent Orange used on Ont. highways: NDP

CBC – 1 hour 47 minutes ago

Battle over pesticide use
Thu, 24 Feb, 2011 12:05 AM....An NDP MPP says former officials with the Ontario Ministry of Transportation have told him that Agent Orange was sprayed on highways across the province until the 1980s.

Gilles Bisson, the member for Timmins-James Bay, said during question period at Queen's Park in Toronto that an email sent to him by the officials indicates the substance was sprayed along the side of the highways to curb the growth of grass and shrubs.

Ontario Transportation Minister Kathleen Wynne acknowledged in the legislature that "questions are being asked" about the role of her ministry regarding the use of Agent Orange. Wynne said she had only been briefed about the matter Thursday morning, and that she doesn't have the details yet.

The governing Liberals launched a probe last week into the province's use of Agent Orange after former workers came forward saying they'd been exposed to it.

Archive documents also confirmed that forestry workers were exposed to toxic herbicides while helping to clear massive plots of Crown land in northern Ontario in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.

Wynne said after question period that she was "concerned" when she first heard about the news.

"I did not have any information about how the herbicide had been used in the [Ministry of Transportation]. We're just asking those questions now. And we're going to work closely with [the Ministry of Transportation] to make sure we get A, the right questions asked and B, the answers," she said.

Agent Orange, a defoliant best known for its use during the war in Vietnam, has been linked to birth defects and deadly illnesses.
