――――――――――――――――――――
Charlottetown Councillor Bob Doiron believes the $50 fee that residents are forced to pay to apply to spray their lawn with banned pesticides is NOT FAIR.
The fee is part of the new pesticide by-law [ i.e. prohibition with pay-for-spray predatory-permits providing exception statuses ].
It pays for a clueless municipal employee to confirm a diagnosis of a pest infestation already made by a professional lawn care business.
――――――――――――――――――――
――――――――――――――――――――
On September 11th, 2017, at Charlottetown’s city council meeting, [ Our Hero ] Councillor Bob Doiron put in a notice for a motion at the next council meeting to vote to GET RID OF THE FEE.
According to Councillor Doiron ―
I’ve asked for their [ Charlottetown’s city council ] support on this to stop this TAX-GRAB against the city residents and that’s all I can do.
I’m not going to go to each and every one, I know there’s certain people that don’t believe in this, some that do.
I’m just putting it on the floor to see that council hopefully in their wisdom would look at this and say this is unneeded.
Councillor Doiron wants to see the SECOND INSPECTION [ performed by a clueless municipal employee ] by a city official ELIMINATED.
According to Councillor Doiron, the lawn care business have the necessary expertise, and they DO NOT need the city looking over their shoulders.
He would also like to see the fees already collected REFUNDED to residents.

NORAHG Response
THE SELLING OF #@!!% PREDATORY-PERMITS BY CHARLOTTETOWN & SUMMERSIDE ON PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND IS LOATHSOME !
Both municipalities have maliciously prevented the Professional Lawn Care Industry from operating its businesses without first extorting the purchase of 50-dollar predatory-permits for every single pest control treatment on residential properties.
With their by-laws, these municipalities have granted themselves the power to legally extort untold thousands of dollars in unjustified profits from the sale of predatory-permits.
Typically, a 50-dollar fee is levied against residents and⁄or lawn care businesses for every single pest control treatment ― in defiance of the fact that the actual cost of the application may be less than the fee itself.
In essence, these loathsome municipalities have despicably conspired to impose prohibition against conventional pest control products with the intention of profiting from the sale of predatory-permits.
Who can afford this #@!!% nonsense ?!?!
There should be NO #@!!% predatory-permits in Charlottetown and Summerside. Or, anywhere else.

SUMMARY
Selling Of Predatory-Permits That Allow
A Pay-For-Spray Exception Status In
Charlottetown Is A Loathsome Tax-Grab
Exception statuses have represented the best examples of the failures & the ridiculousness of anti-pesticide prohibition !
While imposing their arbitrary by-laws — prohibiting some uses but NOT others through exception statuses — municipalities, like Charlottetown, CANNOT stop the public from realizing that a large quantity of deliberate mis-information & propaganda has been spread about the imaginary danger of conventional pest control products.
Despite imposing prohibition, municipalities across the nation have allowed thousands & thousands of inconsistent & unfair exception statuses, including agriculture, forestry, fruit gardens, fruit trees, golf facilities, greenhouses, hard-landscapes, industrial properties, institutional properties, lawn care businesses, lawns that need to be safe for use, new lawns ( seeded ), municipal infra-structures, municipal green spaces, commercial properties, new parks, pest infestations, public infra-structures, rose gardens, sports fields, urban forests, vegetable gardens, and more.
These exception statuses have been conveniently incorporated into by-laws in order to allow municipal staff to circumvent prohibition, to arbitrarily suit the needs of elected officials, and to falsely maintain alignment of these officials with their political precepts & doctrines !
Clearly, exception statuses have been incorporated into by-laws because invasive weeds & destructive insects MUST BE CONTROLLED ANNUALLY in order to protect residential and municipal green spaces.
These exception statuses have even allowed the sale of predatory-permits, hence granting municipalities, like Charlottetown, the power to legally extort untold thousands of dollars in unjustified profits.
Typically, a 50-dollar fee is levied against residents and⁄or lawn care businesses for every single pest control application ― in defiance of the fact that the actual cost of the application may be less than the fee itself.
Municipalities, like Charlottetown, are collecting thousands of dollars in unjustified profits from the sale of predatory-permits.
In essence, loathsome municipalities, like Charlottetown, despicably conspire to impose prohibition against conventional pest control products with the intention of profiting from the sale of predatory-permits.
Who can afford this #@!!% nonsense ?!?!
There should be NO #@!!% predatory-permits.
Otherwise, there should be NO #@!!% exception statuses whatsoever !
Prohibitions will continue to be dismal failures for municipalities in jurisdictions like Prince Edward Island and even British Columbia.
On Prince Edward Island, the following loathsome municipalities have allowed the selling predatory-permits ― Charlottetown, Summerside, and others.
In British Columbia, the following loathsome municipalities have allowed the selling predatory-permits ― Gibsons, Maple Ridge, Nelson, North Vancouver ( City & District ), Oak Bay, Saanich, Sechelt, Victoria, and others.

WE SPEAK THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT PREDATORY PERMITS FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE !
We are the National Organization Responding Against HUJE that conspire to destroy the Green space and other industries ( NORAHG ). As a non-profit and independent organization, we are environmentalists who are dedicated to reporting about truth-challenged pesticide-hating fanatжcs ( HUJE ) who conspire to destroy businesses that are dependent on the use of safe and effective conventional pest control products. We also report on the work of several highly-rated leading experts who have recognized expertise, training, and background in matters concerning pest control products, and who promote environmental realism and pesticide truths.
Not surprisingly, enviro-fanatжcs have demonstrated that they are incapable of processing overwhelming scientific evidence. Should we trust these fanatжcs, who conveniently ignore scientific evidence, and attempt to impose their politicized-doctrines and twisted life-style choices against our society ?!?!
NORAHG was the brainchild of Mr William H Gathercole and his colleagues in 1991. Mr Gathercole is now retired, although his name continues to appear as founder. We dare to defy the pesticide-hating fanatжcs by exploring the whole truth from an independent perspective on The Pesticide Truths Web-Site … https://pesticidetruths.com/ If you wish to receive free reports on issues that concern you, please contact us at … force.of.de.nature@gmail.com WILLIAM H GATHERCOLE AND NORAH G
