Officials are saying that Canada and the US is safe from the Radiation from the Japanese Nuclear Power Plants. But are we? I sure hope so.
I have to put some trust in the government about claims that we do not need to worry about Radiation here in North America, but I also have to wonder how honest this really is. If we were in real danger, would they actually tell us? I would hope they would, BUT, it could cause mass panic – and considering that we may very well be okay, why risk all that panic?
I for one think we should be given the whole truth on this Radiation – perhaps we already are, but how would we really know?
I understand that so far the levels of leaked radiation are relatively low (according to various news reports). I also do believe, that much of this radiation will dissipate as it crosses the Pacific, quite possibly to zero before it reaches Canada & the US, BUT I can’t be sure – I don’t think anyone can be sure.
My cupboards are stocked, and we have plenty of bottled water. I am not sure it will do any good, but at least knowing my family can spend several days without having to leave the house offers a little bit of comfort.
I truly hope we can trust our government on this issue with Radiation, I am not convinced, but what other choice do I have?
So what are your thoughts on what the Government is saying?

Let me ask you this, do you use a cellphone, iphone, ipad ect. Then you should not worry about radiation from japan. You are already contributing to damaging the health of Canadians by using these radiation emitting appliances; and by so doing, subscribing to the construction of numerous cell towers which are radiation emitting devices. Sometimes to find the answers we need to look into the mirror and our own backyards.
If you want to go there, you can get radiation from a banana! (its true, look it up). Smoke detectors emit radiation – so do nails, so do some types of paint. Lots of things do – BUT the radiation is much higher from this nuclear site.
by the way, I don’t use a cellphone, I don’t even own one – if you can believe that… but I do eat bananas.
I do agree with you.. even before north america became worried about the radiation effects I already worried about that stuff. I do think that the government might be telling the truth because they priorities the sake of the people first. Im sure they cant afford to risk a lot of the people’s lives over lying about those things. I think when it will come to the point where in the level becomes higher I guess they will have to inform us about it so people will be aware of whats going on but as of now, its probably not that dangerous that we have to worry about, then thats probably why they keep telling us theres nothing to worry about.
