The US+A is Canada's best friend. Trudeau government gag order in CIA brainwashing case silences victims, lawyer says There is documented evidence that the U.S. military conducted chemical dispersion tests over Canadian cities during the Cold War, notably in Winnipeg. In 1953, as part of a U.S. Army initiative, zinc cadmium sulfide (ZnCdS), a fluorescent tracer, was sprayed over Winnipeg to study how chemical and biological agents might disperse in urban environments. These tests were conducted without the informed consent of the local population. National Academies+5Government of Manitoba News+5Reddit+5 The Canadian government was aware of the tests and had granted permission through the Department of National Defence. However, the public was misled about the true nature of the experiments. Residents were told that the purpose was to test smoke screens for radar concealment, not to simulate chemical or biological attacks. The Washington Post Health assessments conducted years later concluded that the exposure levels of ZnCdS were low and posed negligible risk to the general population. Nevertheless, concerns were raised about the reliability of the data provided by the U.S. military, the lack of informed consent, and the potential higher exposure levels for individuals directly involved in the experiments. The Washington Post+7Wikipedia+7NCBI+7 Government of Manitoba News It's important to note that these tests were part of broader U.S. military programs, such as Operation LAC (Large Area Coverage), which aimed to understand the dispersion patterns of chemical and biological agents. While the CIA's Project MKUltra is known for unethical mind control experiments, there is no direct evidence linking the CIA to the chemical spraying in Canadian cities.
