Happy Healthy Children
Playing on a Pest-Free Lawn

LETTER TO THE EDITOR ― MEDIA RELEASE
RESPONSE TO GHOST-WRITER USING THE NAME COTTAM
THE DAILY NEWS ― POST MEDIA NEWS
DON MILLS, ONTARIO
CHILDREN ARE NOT AT RISK
According to Anti-Pesticide Activist Cottam …
« The risk to children is being handled by the PMRA by arbitrarily multiplying the perceived risk to adult humans, which is pure guesswork, in my opinion. » [ ?!?! ]
Pest control products are NO THREAT TO CHILDREN.
Anti-Pesticide Activists like Cottam use this form of TERROR-TALK that is designed to alarm and enrage the public into PROHIBITING pest control products
Ostensibly, Cottam wants the NEEDLESS, SENSELESS, and MALICIOUS PROHIBITION of pest control products used in the Urban Landscape.
There is NO problem with children playing on a dried treated surface after a pest control application.
Pest control products are applied at VERY LOW DOSES, and DO NOT PRESENT A CONCERN TO CHILDREN … and even people.
After a pest control product DRIES ON THE LEAF, it is difficult, if not impossible, to dislodge residues off the leaf surface.
It is apparent that a NON-EXPERT like Cottam who uses TERROR-TALK about children has NO expertise, training, or background in matters concerning pest control products.
ASSESSMENTS PROTECT CHILDREN
Pest control products DO NOT HARM CHILDREN !
The ASSESSMENT of pest control products by Heath Canada takes into consideration sensitive groups, such as CHILDREN, as well as INFANTS and PREGNANT WOMEN.
CHILDREN’s physiology, behaviours, and habits WHILE PLAYING ON TREATED GRASS are CONSIDERED when determining the safety of pest control products.
EXTRA SAFETY FACTORS are applied by Health Canada to protect CHILDREN, as well as INFANTS and PREGNANT WOMEN.
Pest control products cause NO HARM TO CHILDREN.
Pest control products cause NO HARM, including chronic effects such as CANCER.

NO NEED FOR HEALTH CANADA LABORATORIES
Cottam expresses MOCK-DISMAY about the fact that Health Canada does NOT have its own laboratories ―
« Health Canada’s 350 toxicologists have NO LABS of their own and fully depend on data supplied by pesticide manufacturers for their pesticide evaluations. » [ ?!?! ]
Non-Expert Cottam is evidently UNFAMILIAR with the ASSESSMENT of pest control products.
In order to ensure the ACCURACY of ASSESSMENTS of pest control products, Health Canada DOES NOT NEED ITS OWN LABORATORIES, and neither does any other regulatory agency in the world.
GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE allows Health Canada to be IMPARTIAL and RIGOROUS.
The ACCURACY of ASSESSMENTS of pest control products is ENSURED since Health Canada follows a set of guidelines and principles developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development ( OECD ).
The 30 OECD member countries include Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Japan.
The ASSESSMENTS of ALL pest control products must be conducted under these guidelines which adhere to principles of the internationally-accredited GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE.
ALL ASSESSMENTS used for the APPROVAL of pest control products must be completed by laboratories sanctioned by GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE ( GLP ), and using ONLY GLP practices.
Instead, Health Canada follows the internationally-accredited GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE for ASSESSING THE SAFETY of pest control products.
Ultimately, the cost to manufacturers to get a pest control product ASSESSED FOR SAFETY and brought to market is about 250 MILLION DOLLARS.
Only those pest control products that pose NO UNACCEPTABLE RISK to health and environment become HEALTH-CANADA-APPROVED and FEDERALLY-LEGAL.
There is NO NEED for Health Canada laboratories.
WHERE ARE THE BODIES ?!?!
Cottam further ALLEGES that « data can be withheld by these pesticide manufacturers from Health Canada ». [ ?!?! ]
This IMPLIES that ASSESSMENTS are somehow being withheld by manufacturers from EVERY regulatory agency in the world.
This is LUDICROUS !
WHERE ARE THE BODIES ?!?!
Cottam is UNABLE TO PROVIDE BODIES, BODIES, BODIES.
Bodies of REAL evidence.
Cottam should make any evidence available for public review.
The fact is … Cottam is UNABLE TO PROVIDE BODIES, BODIES, BODIES.
SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE
Health Canada is NOT ALONE in its ASSESSMENT that pest control products are SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE.
Cottam CANNOT CONVENIENTLY IGNORE the expertise of ALL LEADING AUTHORITIES in matters concerning pest control products.
These LEADING AUTHORITIES are educational, regulatory, research, scientific, and trade agencies from around the world.
They have publicly stated that, or have validated the concept that, in one form or another, pest control products are SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE.
These agencies are NOT unduly influenced by any stake-holder in those industries manufacturing and using pest control products.
The following educational, regulatory, research, scientific, and trade agencies have SUPPORTED or VALIDATED the concept that pest control products are SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE ―
● American Chemical Society
● American Council for Science and Health
● American Cancer Society
● CropLife Canada
● Health Canada
● Institute of Public Affairs
● International Agency for Research on Cancer
● Ontario Pesticides Advisory Committee
● The Fraser Institute
● U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
● World Health Organization
AGRICULTURE IS THREATENED
According to Anti-Pesticide Activist Cottam …
« No pesticide BAN in AGRICULTURE is on the horizon. » [ ?!?! ]
This is FALSE !
For several years, CONSPIRACIES are being organized AGAINST the Agriculture Industry by Canadian Cancer Society, an Anti-Pesticide Organization.
Here is a 2008 statement from Canadian Cancer Society ―
« For years, the Canadian Cancer Society has argued in favour of BANS on the cosmetic use of pesticides around homes and gardens. But it has remained silent on the country’s biggest use of bug and weed killers ― ON FARMS. Now, the society is considering weighing in on whether THESE SPRAYS POSE A CANCER RISK TO FARMERS, other rural residents near them, and to the wider public from eating foods carrying pesticide residues. »

CONCLUSION
Overall, when pest control products are used properly, there are NO harmful irreversible effects to health and the environment !
There is NOT ONE KNOWN ILLNESS or DEATH from the proper use of pest control products used in the Urban Landscape.

NORAHG is the National Organization Responding Against HUJE that seek to harm the Green space industry.
P.S.
COTTAM is actually a designation for a group of Anti-Pesticide Ghost-Writers designed to DECEIVE THE PUBLIC ANONYMOUSLY.
This group DECEIVES THE PUBLIC about the COTTAM name, just as they DECEIVE THE PUBLIC about the IMAGINARY DANGER of pest control products.
Anti-Pesticide Activists have been using the COTTAM name as a SHIELD AGAINST IMMINENT LEGAL REPRISALS FOR FRAUD AND CONSPIRACY.

WILLIAM H. GATHERCOLE AND NORAH G
NORAHG is the National Organization Responding Against HUJE that seek to harm the Green space industry.
NORAHG morally represents the VAST SILENT MAJORITY of people associated with turf and ornamental plant maintenance who are OPPOSED to Anti Pesticide PROHIBITION and the CLOSURE or ABANDONMENT of green spaces under the RIDICULOUS PRETEXT of somehow « saving » the environment.
NORAHG is a NATIONAL NON PROFIT NON PARTISAN organization that does not accept money from corporations or governments or trade associations, and represents NO VESTED INTERESTS WHATSOEVER.
NORAHG is dedicated to reporting the work of RESPECTED and HIGHLY RATED EXPERTS who promote ENVIRONMENTAL REALISM and PESTICIDE TRUTHS.
NORAHG was the brainchild of William H. Gathercole and his colleagues in 1991. Mr. Gathercole is now retired, although his name continues to appear as founder.
We are living in the DARK AGE OF ANTI PESTICIDE TERRORISM where sound science is trumped by JUNK SCIENCE and UNVERIFIABLE SECRET EVIDENCE through FABRICATION, INNUENDO, and INTERNET RUMOUR ― scientific research PROVES that pest control products CAUSE NO HARM and can be USED SAFELY.
HUJE are enviro-lunatics, anti-pesticide activists, and lawn-haters, who particularly DESPISE the golf industry.
There is NO RECOURSE but LITIGATION against these HUJE.
Another RECOURSE is to SEEK the CANCELLATION of GOVERNMENT GRANTS and REVOCATION of the TAX EXEMPT STATUS of their organizations.
HUJE should Get OFF Our grASS, and they should Roast In Hell.
NORAHG manages the Library Force Of Nature Reports and References, which is a VAST ARCHIVE of DOCUMENTS, AUDIO CLIPS, and VIDEOS on ALL Anti Pesticide Terrorist Acts of Subversion.
The purpose of this ARCHIVE is to provide information that will lead to a SUCCESSFUL LITIGATION against Anti-Pesticide Vermin.
All names, statements, activities, and affiliations have been ARCHIVED for the intention of eventual CRIMINAL CHARGES.
When CRIMINAL CHARGES for FRAUD and CONSPIRACY are laid, legal experts say that there is sufficient information to lead to a SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTION !
