Overview
Speaking Out Against Anti-Pesticide Terrorism
The PROHIBITION on pest control products used in the Urban Landscape in the City of Nanaimo is being CHALLENGED as SCIENTIFICALLY UNFOUNDED by a Vancouver Island UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR ― ROB WAGER.
Professor Wager says NO SCIENCE SUPPORTS PROHIBITION.
Professor Wager, whose background is in CHEMISTRY and MICROBIOLOGY, said NO SCIENCE SUPPORTS the city’s creation of a list of banned and allowed substances.
Professor Wager said he OPPOSES a blanket PROHIBITION, but when he spoke to the Anti-Pesticide Lunatic-Infested Committee in charge of writing Nanaimo’s PROHIBITION by-law, his advice was predictably ignored.
Nanaimo’s NEEDLESS, SENSELESS, and MALICIOUS PROHIBITION took effect April 1st, 2011.

SPEAKING OUT AGAINST ANTI-PESTICIDE TERRORISM – HEROES ( Web-Page )
In the City of Nanaimo, British Columbia …
Because of its PESTICIDE BAN, Nanaimo’s THOROUGHFARES LOOK LIKE GARBAGE DUMPS.
Not surprisingly, Nanaimo’s TRUTH-CHALLENGED Anti-Pesticide Government Officials are attempting to DECEIVE THE PUBLIC by FALSELY ALLEGING that their PESTICIDE BAN is somehow NOT responsible for UGLY WEEDS GROWING IN ROAD CRACKS.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for Nanaimo to keep its thoroughfares WEED-FREE by using Integrated Pest Management ( IPM).
It is also IMPOSSIBLE for Nanaimo to keep its properties playable and beautiful by using IPM.
It is now common knowledge that Integrated Pest Management is a DISMAL FAILURE.
Pesticide Ban Amounts To Bad Public Policy

City of Nanaimo, British Columbia
Selected and Adapted Excerpts
A recent article claiming that the current WEED INFESTATION OF OUR STREETS AND SIDEWALKS is [ somehow ] not a result of the PESTICIDE BAN is POLITICAL SPIN AT ITS FINEST.
All one has to do is look at any street, island, or sidewalk in the city to see the HUGE NUMBER OF WEEDS to realize [ Anti-Pesticide ] Councillor Kipp’s words are simply NOT TRUE.
A couple years ago, I was asked by the Mayor [ of the City of Nanaimo ] to present the science of common synthetic pesticides to the committee charged with developing the city pesticide policy ( i.e. whether or not to BAN synthetic pesticides ).
The science at that time was clear … a BAN of effective, safe, federally-regulated pesticides would result in a SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN WEED ISSUES in our city.
This scientific opinion is backed up by the EXPERIENCES OF NUMEROUS CANADIAN MUNICIPALITIES.
Health Canada states there is NO HEALTH RISK associated with properly used synthetic pesticides.
Even the Government of Quebec was forced to admit to the court that there was NO SCIENCE SUPPORTING THE BAN OF 2,4-D.
The response by the committee, led by [ Anti-Pesticide Councillor ] Kipp, to the science was telling.
A committee member said―
We cannot possibly understand the science so we are going ahead with the ban.
Now Nanaimo is PAYING THE PRICE FOR DISREGARDING DECADES OF EXTENSIVE SCIENCE.
Everywhere you look in Nanaimo you see WEEDS OVER-TAKING parks, greenbelts, roadways, sidewalks, medians, shoulders … the list goes on.
This INFESTATION that now THREATENS MUNICIPAL INFRA-STRUCTURE is a DIRECT RESULT OF THE SYNTHETIC PESTICIDE BAN.
Unless the present BAN is reversed, STRUCTURAL DAMAGE from the weed infestation and cost of repairs or replacement will result in a SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL BURDEN to Nanaimo tax-payers.
When SCIENCE IS DISREGARDED in the development of science-based public policy, we get BAD PUBLIC POLICY.
This is Nanaimo’s present situation.

British Columbia’s Special Committee on Cosmetic Pesticides
On May 17th, 2012, British Columbia’s Special Committee on Cosmetic Pesticides STOPPED THE TREND towards NEEDLESS, SENSELESS, and MALICIOUS PROHIBITION.
The Special Committee announced that it WILL NOT RECOMMEND PROHIBITION against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape.
The Committee made THE RIGHT CHOICE, and deserves CONGRATULATION.
PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA – SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON COSMETIC PESTICIDES ( Web-Page )
The story about the number of people who responded to the Committee’s e-questionnaire is MEANINGLESS.
The VAST MAJORITY of the responses were ORCHESTRATED, through a coast-to-coast CAMPAIGN, using MONEY AND RESOURCES provided by Canadian Cancer Society.
This CAMPAIGN has given an unsuspecting public the FALSE and FRAUDULENT impression that the Anti-Pesticide Movement has considerable size and power, when in fact, IT DOES NOT.
This is yet another example of Canadian Cancer Society SQUANDERING MONEY AND RESOURCES on an issue that has been SCIENTIFICALLY ASSESSED by Health Canada.
Nonetheless, Canadian Cancer Society has WASTED up to 5,000,000 DOLLARS on SUBVERSIVE and PARTISAN Anti-Pesticide CONSPIRACIES.
Canadian Cancer Society FALSELY ALLEGES having UNDISCLOSED, NON-EXISTENT AND UNVERIFIABLE SECRET EVIDENCE about the safety of pest control products.
Health Canada, and NOT Canadian Cancer Society, has THE ESSENTIAL EXPERTISE on the subject of pest control products.
Not surprisingly, NOT A SINGLE PERSON within Canadian Cancer Society has ANY recognized expertise, training or background in matters concerning pest control products.
Canadian Cancer Society is RIDICULOUSLY IMPLYING that its NON-EXPERT ASSESSMENT is somehow being withheld from Health Canada and EVERY other regulatory agency in the world.
CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY ( Web-Pages )
Canadian Cancer Society’s own web-sites state that scientific research does NOT provide a conclusive link between pest control products and cancer.
Even one of Canadian Cancer Society’s HIGHEST-RANKING LOBBYIST states that the connection between cancer and pesticides is NOT CONCLUSIVE.
CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY – NO DIRECT PROOF PESTICIDES CAUSE CANCER ( Web-Page )
Organizations like Canadian Cancer Society MUST NOT GET MORE MONEY for MISINFORMING AND TERRORIZING !
There is NO RECOURSE but OFFICIAL COMPLAINTS AND LITIGATION against Canadian Cancer Society.
It DOES NOT DESERVE ANY DONATIONS OR SUPPORT.
Nor does it deserve TAX-EXEMPT STATUSES.
Canadian Cancer Society DOES deserve to FACE THE SPOTLIGHT OF THE MEDIA and TERROR OF THE COURTS !
In Canada, Anti-Pesticide Organizations like Canadian Cancer Society are presently UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR CHARITY FRAUD AND CONSPIRACY.
The Government of Canada DOES NOT want its society to continue living in the 9|11 Era of Anti-Pesticide Enviro-Lunatic Profit-Hungry Terrorism !

Terror NEVER Ends In British Columbia
PESTICIDE BANS are DESTROYING the Professional Lawn Care Industry in the Province of British Columbia.
Professional Lawn Care companies have been EXTENSIVELY DAMAGED and STAGNATING because of the THREAT and IMPLEMENTATION of the PROHIBITION against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape.
As a direct result of MUNICIPAL PESTICIDE BANS, Professional Lawn Care companies have LOST OVER 40 PER CENT OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.
British Columbia is known for its natural beauty, as well as its RADICAL AND SUBVERSIVE LUNATIC Anti-Pesticide Organizations.
Beginning in 2009, when municipalities in British Columbia started to implement PROHIBITION — BUSINESS GROWTH STAGNATED.
Since 2010, Professional Lawn Care companies have had to REDUCE STAFFING as a DIRECT RESULT of MUNICIPAL ANTI-PESTICIDE PROHIBITIONS.
Professional Lawn Care companies have had to basically put ANY MAJOR INVESTMENT INTO THEIR BUSINESSES ON HOLD because of the continued THREAT of PROHIBITION.
PROHIBITION takes away all the gains made by Professional Lawn Care businesses in the past ten years, and MAKES IT DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO RECOVER.
In jurisdictions where PESTICIDE BANS have been IMPOSED, Professional Lawn Care companies have NO REAL GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES to use on a commercial basis.
Professional Lawn Care customers DEPEND upon conventional pest control products to control damaging pests such as weeds and insects.
Unfortunately, THERE ARE NO GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES THAT WORK ― they are INEFFECTIVE ― they are STUNNINGLY HIGH IN COST ― you have to use them two, three, four times the recommended rate and frequency to get ANY results out of them.
Customers are telling Professional Lawn Care businesses that … « If you can’t get rid of my weeds legally, I’ll do it myself. »
Professional Lawn Care companies expect that, in 2012, they WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE MORE BUSINESS DUE TO PROHIBITION.
Professional Lawn Care companies have also been EXTENSIVELY DAMAGED and STAGNATING because of ALLEGATIONS Anti-Pesticide Organizations about the IMAGINARY DANGER of pest control products.
These ALLEGATIONS are TOTALLY FALSE, and are UNTRUE MIS-REPRESENTATIONS designed to alarm and enrage the public and enhance the CASH-FLOW and PROFIT of Anti-Pesticide Organizations.
British Columbians DO NOT want their society to continue living in the 9|11 Era of Anti-Pesticide Enviro-Lunatic Profit-Hungry Terrorism !
On May 17th, 2012, British Columbia’s Special Committee on Cosmetic Pesticides announced that it WILL NOT RECOMMEND PROHIBITION against the use of pest control products in the Urban Landscape.
A 2011 POLL conducted by Canadian Consumer Specialty Products Association ( CCSPA ) CONFIRMED that the VAST MAJORITY of residents in British Columbia are OPPOSED to the PROHIBITION of conventional pest control products, and they actually FAVOUR the continued use of these products around their homes and in public green spaces.

STRIKING BACK In British Columbia
GET RID OF THE NEW DEMOCRATS !
Everyone in the Green Space Industry ― no matter where they live ― must meet with their Member of the Legislative Assembly ( MLA ), preferably not from New Democratic Party.
In order to meet and inform the MLA, you must donate the maximum amount to the party, which is 1,100 dollars in British Columbia.
The cost of this donation is insignificant when compared to the catastrophic business losses inflicted by anti-pesticide prohibition.
Any business owner in the Green Space Industry who does not bother to meet with the local MLA is a pitiful fool and an idiot, and does not deserve a career, or a business, or any success.
COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN.
Anti-Pesticide Terrorists are NOT CREDIBLE SOURCES OF INFORMATION upon which political decisions are made ― they LIE and LIE and LIE.
There is NO RECOURSE but OFFICIAL COMPLAINTS as well as LITIGATION against Anti-Pesticide Terrorists.
They DO NOT DESERVE ANY DONATIONS OR SUPPORT.
They DO NOT DESERVE ANY GOVERNMENT GRANTS.
Nor do they deserve TAX-EXEMPT STATUSES.
They DO deserve to FACE THE SPOTLIGHT OF SCRUTINY and THE TERROR OF THE COURTS !
Anti-Pesticide Terrorists in organizations like Canadian Cancer Society are presently UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR CHARITY FRAUD AND CONSPIRACY.
The Government of Canada DOES NOT want its society to continue living in the 9|11 Era of Anti-Pesticide Enviro-Lunatic Profit-Hungry Terrorism !
And neither should anyone in the Green Space Industry.
All names, statements, activities, and affiliations have been ARCHIVED for anyone wishing to lodge an OFFICIAL COMPLAINT or lay CRIMINAL CHARGES against Anti-Pesticide Terrorists.
On The Pesticide Truths Web-Site, NORAHG manages a VAST ARCHIVE of REPORTS, MEDIA REFERENCES, AUDIO CLIPS, and VIDEOS on ALL Anti-Pesticide Terrorists.
We know who they are, and where they are hiding, and what they have said and done.
When CRIMINAL CHARGES FOR FRAUD AND CONSPIRACY ARE LAID, legal experts say that the NORAHG ARCHIVE is sufficient to lead to a SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTION against Anti-Pesticide Terrorists !
Business owners in the Green Space Industry should talk to their lawyers, members of the legislative assembly, and local media outlets.
Thanks to The Pesticide Truths Web-Site, they have all the DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE that they need.
LET THESE TERRORISTS FACE THE SPOTLIGHT OF SCRUTINY and THE TERROR OF THE COURTS !
Anti-Pesticide Terrorists are GOVERNMENT-FINANCED with TAX-FREE MONEY ― they must not be allowed this money to defend themselves in court.
Demand a REVOCATION of their organizations’ REGISTERED CHARITY TAX-EXEMPT STATUS !
SUE THE BASTERDS’ BRAINS OUT !

What have YOU done
in the War Against
Anti-Pesticide Terrorism ?
As a result of Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION, weeds, primarily DANDELIONS, have become the DOMINANT GROUND COVER for lawns, parks, school yards, and sports fields across provinces like British Columbia and Ontario.
Heaven help the politician who gets the blame for all of the ugly lawns.
PROHIBITION dictates aesthetics to the public.
PROHIBITION imposed under the pretext of protecting children’s health is actually harmful to children.
PROHIBITION ignores the federal regulatory system.
PROHIBITION was entirely political.
There is NO reliable scientific evidence indicating that regulated pest control products pose any threat to human health when used correctly.
