A tribute to the victims of the Gagetown Atrocity. Agents Orange, Purple and White were sprayed at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown, New Brunswick Canada thereby affecting the health of soldiers, wives, children and civilians.

The Canadian government shamefully continues to try and dismiss the actions of its Department of National Defence.

Sometimes people get sick for no reason. Studies don't reveal any higher rate of cancer or other unnatural fatalities amongst soldiers posted to Gagetown at this time. Dioxin is also not known to cause cancer.

Those are: chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) soft tissue sarcoma non-Hodgkin's lymphoma Hodgkin's disease chloracne respiratory cancer (of the lung/bronchus, larynx or trachea) prostate cancer multiple myeloma early onset transient peripheral neuropathy porphyria cutanea tarda type 2 diabetes spina bifida;

Mona Normand was born 1959 in Oromocto while her father was posted there as a Canadian Soldier. Mona died of brain cancer Sept. 2007. It was her second fight with brain cancer.Her children left behind will not receive the $20k our government has offered for their mothers death because Mona was exposed to Canada's herbicides 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T, not the US military's 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T. Poisoned from birth while her father served Canada.

My uncle a Korean War veteran was posted to Camp Gagetown in the late 1950's, when Canada was spraying 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T from fixed winged aircraft. He died a horrible death of lung cancer. His government never informed him of the spraying, even back in 1985 when they knew how harmful those defoliants were and how all Canadians were exposed.
