Two weeks ago, I wrote about Bill C-51, Canada’s answer to the currently obsolete system of food and drug regulation. As is expected by the non-science crowd, they weren’t happy.

Clearly, a lot has happened since. Namely:

Our friends at Ottawa Skeptics have written several articles on the issue-

1. Bill C-51 – Jackboot Inspections, Big Pharma Intrigue, or Good Government
2. Natural Health Product (NHP) Regulation in Canada
3. A Letter to Denise Savoie, MP, about Bill C-51

Health Canada, furthermore, responded to the hysteria related to Bill C-51 here.

Dr. Steven Novella, president of the NESS and host of our favorite podcast, The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe, has also responded to the controversy on his blog Science-based Medicine.

One intrepid commenter on Dr. Novella’s post made a very significant discovery concerning the people behind the Stop C-51 campaign (Surprise! There’s a conflict of interest!)

To those who have yet to do so, be sure to check out the Support Bill C-51 Facebook group and continue to show your support for reason, science, and common-sense!
