Now that Dow and Monsanto have teamed up..we gotta stop this...its starting all over again...):

[flipoverlife]

DOW chemicals was a canadian company, they were the main source f the chemicals, so it ties in to canada, however the title is somewhat misleading

[spiritofwicca]

What the hell??? Agent orange was not invented in Canada. Put the blame where it belongs: on the Americans!!!

I lived in gagetown for years. Im fine.

@profoundist maybe you might be but not many other people are so likey

[PFCPEDERSON]

Please change the title, it's misleading.

[6RiseAgainst9]

the title implys that Canada created and and was fully responsiblefor this brutallity, when it was actually the U.S. who abused the lands of vietnam and produced this weapon, Canada was simply a lab rat for this weapon.

[sebazistan]

didn't mean to imply that Agent Orange was invented in Canada, just that the tragedy involving agent orange was created locally. I believe some of the chemicals were manufactured in Canada, however.

Arthur Galston was an American botanist and bioethicist who, as a graduate student at the University of Illinois, discovered the defoliant properties of the chemical that was subsequently studied by the United States Army for the development of Agent Orange---- (It was not created by a Canadian)
