Canada is a cold place, and to get around my home of Ontario comfortably during the winter I’m lucky to have a top-shelf pair of American premium leather cowboy boots by Durango. They’re perfect, except for the part where they supposedly can increase my risk of cancer.

Yes, because my boots comply with California’s Proposition 65, they came with a Cancer and Reproductive Harm warning label in the event I were to excessively lick or dine upon my footwear. Everything from DVD players to couches now carry these labels if they’re sold in California, in case a consumer were to ingest them instead of watch a movie or take a nap. Considering the earth’s sun is a well-known carcinogen, it’s a wonder California hasn’t legislated some kind of labeling on the menacing gaseous ball elevating the cancer risk of everyone beneath its rays.

Perhaps the U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy will take action after he’s done frightening consumers about alcohol. Murthy’s latest advisory report on “the causal link between alcohol consumption and increased risk for at least seven different types of cancer” has America spooked. We experienced the same tactics in Canada.

The political collapse of Prime Minster Justin Trudeau in Canada temporarily killed a bill that would have had Canada follow Ireland in slapping cancer warnings on all alcoholic beverages. It’s part of a movement within the public health establishment via the World Health Organization, to shift world governments away from the message of “drink responsibly” and toward “no amount is safe”.
