It appears that the Canadian government leadership can't be trusted to tell its people the truth either. G. Edward Griffin's newsletter tells it like it is though. Here's what he said:
A study from Health Canada shows that the Canadian, US, and Japanese governments have conspired to conceal information about radiation spikes coming from Fukushima. [They have hidden such data as a 6,000% increase in radioactive xenon and concealed the true effects of Fukushima by cutting back on radiation monitoring and raising the ‘acceptable' levels of radiation.] Washington's Blog Posted 2013 Dec 7

'Meanwhile, government officials claimed there was nothing to worry about. “The quantities of radioactive materials reaching Canada as a result of the Japanese nuclear incident are very small and do not pose any health risk to Canadians,” Health Canada says on its website. “The very slight increases in radiation across the country have been smaller than the normal day-to-day fluctuations from background radiation.”
In fact, Health Canada’s own data shows this isn’t true. The iodine-131 level in the air in Sidney peaked at 3.6 millibecquerels per cubic metre on March 20. That’s more than 300 times higher than the background level, which is 0.01 or fewer millibecquerels per cubic metre.
“There have been massive radiation spikes in Canada because of Fukushima,” said Gordon Edwards, president of the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility.
“The authorities don’t want people to have an understanding of this. The government of Canada tends to pooh-pooh the dangers of nuclear power because it is a promoter of nuclear energy and uranium sales.”
Edwards has advised the federal auditor-general’s office and the Ontario government on nuclear-power issues and is a math professor at Montreal’s Vanier College.'
