So how can two sides passionately argue that something they can both see is one of two complete opposites?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mainstream politicians, representatives of corporations, mainstream scientists, and the mainstream media continue to argue that these are trails of water vapour and the mere suggestion they are chemtrails harmful to the atmosphere is a \u201cconspiracy theory.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prof. Monika Havelka is Head of the Department of Geography, Geomatics, and Environment at the University of Toronto Mississauga.

This would appear to lend credence to theories that chemtrails are part of a conspiracy by Western governments and corporations to artificially modify the weather.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The title of the document is: \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/treaty-accord.gc.ca\/text-texte.aspx?id=103819\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agreement Between Canada and the United States of America Relating to the Exchange of Information on Weather Modification Activities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d Jeanne Sauv\u00e9 representing the Government of Canada and Christian Herter representing the Government of the United States of America signed it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The agreement notes <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that people in varying positions of power in both countries were tampering with the atmosphere on a massive scale even in 1975, which could already include chemtrails or a precursor to them. But it does not serve to hold anyone to account for weather modification activities including chemtrails.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Article VIII says,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cThe Parties shall meet periodically, by mutual agreement, or at the request of either, to review the implementation of this Agreement or to consider other issues related to weather modification.\u201d This may indicate a conspiracy between the national governments of the U.S. and Canada to artificially modify the atmosphere, possibly using chemtrails as their avenue to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One could interpret this agreement as both laying the groundwork and being a continuous justification for the massive day-to-day release of chemtrails up to the present.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These trails, whether they are chemtrails or contrails, clearly exist. They may contribute to global warming or they may be an unethical experiment to inhibit it. They may be part of a weather modification program by the government or simply corporate air pollution caused by negligence. They exist and citizens are worried by them.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17445\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17445\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-17445 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gh360.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_1952-e1666918642681-1024x334.jpg\" alt=\"Concerned citizen photo\" width=\"750\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gh360.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_1952-e1666918642681-1024x334.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gh360.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_1952-e1666918642681-300x98.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gh360.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_1952-e1666918642681-768x251.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gh360.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_1952-e1666918642681.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17445\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chemtrail photo taken by a local concerned citizen outside of the Colossus Imax Theatre in Woodbridge, Ont.

Where it becomes a chemtrail is that something\u2019s been added to the exhaust that reacts differently\u2026. Condensation doesn\u2019t increase in visibility as it spreads out, it gets thinner and wispier and isn\u2019t visible anymore.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt seems that it\u2019s been designed in a way that continues to spread out aggressively.
