These have been known for decades but suppressed by politically-motivated censorship and overt disparagement/persecution. Anyone who ever wondered about radiation or its close relative, radioactivity, should read the book and attend this webinar. It’s timely because the feds and several provincial governments are pushing hard for more public exposures to radiation via nuclear power. It explains radiation in easy-to-grasp language which clarifies its dangers and risks. Both authors will present on the webinar.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US>Register</span></b><span lang=EN-US>: <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_XxiHwXW4S_evHMrJSzmVlA">https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_XxiHwXW4S_evHMrJSzmVlA</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Order the book: <a href="https://ethicspress.com/products/the-scientists-who-alerted-us-to-the-dangers-of-radiation">https://ethicspress.com/products/the-scientists-who-alerted-us-to-the-dangers-of-radiation</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Webinar co-hosted by: Ontario Clean Air Alliance, Northwatch, and Coalition for Responsible Energy Development in New Brunswick (CRED-NB)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#A02B93'>Farming with Conservation In Mind<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Thur.
