Notorious for its devastating use by the U.S. military in the Vietnam War, the toxic defoliant Agent Orange was tested and sprayed extensively in Canada by both the Canadian military and its U.S. counterpart in the 1950s, '60s and '70s at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown in New Brunswick. The effects are still being felt today.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • I lived in gagetown for years. Im fine.

  • Please change the title, it's misleading.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • not just cancer....these toxins caused alot of different diseases, illnesses and health problems......

  • this is why cancer is so high in new brunswick.
