60 years on, veterans are still fighting for recognition over Agent Orange spraying at CFB Gagetown

from The Sunday Magazine

This week marks 60 years since the United States military first tested Agent Orange and other toxic herbicides at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown in New Brunswick. The base is an economic lifeline for the area, and the federal government is spending more than a billion dollars to modernize it. But some Canadian veterans say the chemicals sprayed there have contributed to long-lasting illnesses. The Sunday Magazine's Andrea Hoang explores how this legacy still touches lives today, and why some veterans feel the government is investing in the future without reckoning with the past.
