When a significant number of people report adverse health effects (some seriously debilitating) from exposures to a growing number of everyday products, one must question why so many everyday products are allowed to harm the health of so many people.
MCS rates vary across Canada. In 2020, Atlantic rates reached 4.6%–6.8% vs. 3.5% nationally. Preliminary 2025 data show 9.4% of Canadian adults report MCS; 2.7% report a diagnosis.

"Michelle Hewitt has spent years raising concerns about. So she never expected to become a widow because of it."
Having a disability should mean that all possible resources to give a life with dignity are offered FIRST, before MAID.
