It is with the deepest respect that I salute BCAQ’s 25 years! The activists who, throughout all these years, spoke out about the need for prevention, within our capitalist system that is geared to destruction rather than creation and that largely ignores this message, had to do so with firm conviction and from an intelligent and informed standpoint. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for raising awareness of the complex issues of breast health in the context of Big Pharma and other industries, and for suggesting means of prevention to men and women willing to take things a step further and change their habits. If the day comes when a government has the political will to impose and apply the precautionary principle, it will be thanks to groups such as BCAQ. Let me add that it has always been a delight to work with you, not only because of your expertise, but also because of your great kindness and your skill at opening the minds of people who have been taken in by pink marketing. Patricia, Jennifer and all the others, thank you for existing and rest assured that BCAQ can continue to count on the support of the Comité de la condition féminine of the CSN’s Conseil central du Montréal-Métropolitain.
Long life!
