“My naturopath and the Yuka app told me it is tHe ToXicS so I advocated for its elimination. I ask the questions. I do the Facebook research. I am accredited by the TikTok Academy of Science. I know my body. I know my health. We must protect the children from toxics, vaccines, pharma, and lesbian” - that kind of person happened to fluoride.
Calgary was facing a big infrastructure cost to update our EOL fluoridation system. Three counsellors drove the charge to get rid of fluoridation entirely: a ‘stop all government spending!’ con, an anti-science earth mother type, and a progressive who kept screaming ‘we need to address dental care as a societal issue!’
And so we saw tooth decay climb for a decade. When we finally decided to put it back in, the cost was higher than the initial upgrade plus a decade of maintenance would have cost.
What was the problem they had with flourid again? Gives you a touch of the 'tism or makes your frogs gay?
Was fluoride not for mind control ?
Makes your teeth heathy and look good

In many cases, it looks like a funding issue - it’s admittedly a pretty huge expense to be handled at the municipal level.
The various conspiracy theories are just icing on the cake.
I think in this case it was a budget thing (at least officially).
Saved $ 177k per year by pushing the costs onto kids. Hoorah! /s
