A Website
is a powerful tool. It allows us a glimpse of what stands behind
the "wall of silence" but it can never be a tool to
break down that wall. Only people can break down walls. MAP-Canada’s
Board of Directors is made up of 3 very ordinary Canadians.
There is no question that without your commitment and active
participation, we cannot accomplish our mission. Together however,
we can become a legion and legions can move governments and
break down walls, one brick at a time. MAP-Canada belongs to
all Canadians who are concerned and alarmed by this issue. Whether
the tragedy of Crohn’s disease has touched you personally
or not, any organism that is so closely related to TB and Leprosy,
that causes a fatal disease in so many animals, that is shed
in semen and milk, that infects a species’ youngest and
most vulnerable and that has such a long incubation period,
DOES NOT belong in our food and the food of our children.
Let us
stand together and tell the Government “We want this
organism out of the Canadian Food Chain”.
Let us stand together
and be "A voice for Crohn's".

idea for some political action? ~ share it with us.

Information Release…
Oversight Committee to Propose a Johne’s Disease
Control Program
The Canadian National Johne's Forum hosted by
Saskatchewan Agriculture & Food, was a tremendous
success and attended by approximately 100 people
on November 17 - 18 in Saskatoon. This represents
a very strong interest, perhaps not seen since
efforts to eradicate Brucellosis and TB.

On
Sept 3rd and 4th the CTV news
aired 2 reports on the subject of Crohn’s disease
and Paratuberculosis - see our media section for
info on linking to these reports. Dr. John Kellar
of the Food Inspection Agency stated that Canada
does not have any plans to investigate the link
, further while an un-named person inside Health
Canada admitted to CTV news that the link between
Paratuberculosis and Crohns had never been
studied in Canada . CTV announced that an International
Conference on Paratuberculosis is to be held in
Saskatoon this coming November and that Crohn’s
disease is not on the agenda. |

Thank
you to all who called, wrote, emailed and/or
faxed letters of concern following the CTV
news reports. Although the subject of Crohn’s
was not formally on the agenda, Crohn’s
disease has at least been added to the panel
discussion. It is a first step. Our readers
will also be pleased to hear that Dr Michael
Collins was one of the conference speakers.
However, if we want to make a substantial
impact please send more letters, emails
and calls if possible are needed to keep
this topic in the forefront. Thank-you,
|
