“Nuclear waste remains radioactive for thousands of years and requires continuous isolation and monitoring to prevent harm to people and the environment, according to Natural Resources Canada (2024).”
The scientific core of this claim is well-supported: high-level nuclear waste does remain radioactive for thousands of years and requires long-term isolation to protect people and the environment, consistent with Natural Resources Canada's published positions (including a December 2024 policy document). However, the claim overstates by using "continuous" monitoring — deep geological repositories are designed to be passively safe without perpetual active controls — and implies all nuclear waste categories require millennia of isolation, when low-level waste requires only centuries.
“As of April 4, 2026, Canadian authorities have jailed individuals for publicly quoting the Bible because of their Christian beliefs.”
No evidence supports the assertion that Canadian authorities have jailed anyone for publicly quoting the Bible. Not a single source — including those sympathetic to the claim — documents an actual arrest, prosecution, or imprisonment for this reason. The supporting sources discuss concerns about potential future criminalization under Bill C-9, which had not become law as of late March 2026. A directly on-point Snopes fact-check and government legal records confirm no such enforcement action has occurred.
