Canadian Agent Orange Class Action Law Suit

CFB Gagetown , Canada – AO Class Actions in Jeopardy

Canadian Agent Orange Class Action Law Suit.

Ottawa’s and their (what I consider) questionable third-partied Dow and Pharmacia’s win in the New Brunswick class action courts against Spalding, blocking Gagetown victims from even launching a class action law suit in New Brunswick, has emboldened them to try the same in Newfoundland, using pretty much the same arguments.

In most ways, Dow and Monsanto (Pharmacia) make the same argument about manageability and lack of commonality to each court. If their appeal is allowed in Newfoundland and certification is dismissed in Saskatchewan , subject to appeals, class members would have to bring their own individual actions or not sue at all.

It is hard for me to personally understand how Ottawa and the chemical industry can claim in one court that they believe there should only be one court case and that being in New Brunswick and then they use all means to prevent that very same New Brunswick certification.

I am also having trouble with Dow and Monsanto (Paramecia) even being in this case at all. We never sued them and even Ottawa has only brought them in as third parties concerning the 1966 and 67, US chemical use in Gagetown. Both Dow and Pharmacia have denied providing the agent orange that was used in 1966/67, so why are they allowed to argue the remaining 29 years and over 3 million pounds / liters and the Canadian use of toxic pesticides at Base Gagetown?

The problem lies in the detail, much of which is under a court order and can not be made public as of yet but basically it boils down to … If the Victims and general public don’t start to make their voices and opinions heard, on how both the veterans and civilians are being done by in this case, if we continue to allow our Government to use our own unlimited amounts of Tax dollars to defeat us in court, if we continue to allow Ottawa to choose which and even if they will compensate people for their government mistakes and if we continue to be lead quietly like sheep to the slaughter, Canada is doomed to the dictatorship we ourselves vote in… and what’s more, we will deserve it.
