IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM ACT OTTAWA ABOUT DR. Shiv Chopra AND CIVIL RIGHTS.

Over the years, Dr. Chopra’s name has become synonymous with global food security. Employed as a senior scientific advisor at the Canadian ministry of health (1969-2004), he refused to approve various harmful drugs for food-producing animals. He endured disciplinary actions, spoke out publicly, testified at Senate committees, and won many federal court cases against the Government of Canada. His contributions on food and public health safety are featured in many internationally acclaimed documentaries. His book, CORRUPT TO THE CORE: Memoirs of a Health Canada Whistleblower (2010) is a best seller. Published by KOS Publishing, Toronto, it provides a bristling account of how corporate corruption endangers public safety. It also contains his famously illumined “Five Pillars of Food Safety”, which is a blueprint for the future establishment of global food security.

Dr. Chopra's final appeal was in September 2017 for which he was found guilty of insubordination, despite the other two scientists charged with the same, being exonerated. The Federal government spent over $10 million dollars and 10 years on the case and avoided the issue of unsafe food practices by Health Canada.

I recommend Whistleblower Dr. Shiv Chopra for his tenacity and determination to do his job and protect the health of all Canadians...Kman
