Canada - Dorval's plan to bring back fluoride stalls

The mayor of Dorval contends the Montreal island council is blocking his city's plan to put fluoride back into its drinking water.
The provincial government has given Dorval the $400,000 the West Island suburb needs to upgrade its water filtration system to reintroduce fluoride. But, according to Dorval Mayor Edgar Rouleau, the island council is holding up the money and Dorval's plan to bring back fluoride. "They found a loophole," an angry Rouleau charged yesterday.Since Dorval needs a new fluoride tank, pumps and monitors so it can add fluoride to its water supply, the island council contends it - and not Dorval - has the final say on fluoridation.
The island council is responsible for overseeing Montreal Island's water infrastructure and other major services."It's not acceptable," Rouleau said. "People in Dorval want fluoride."
They wouldn't if they read up on it.
