somehow « cancer-causing » is a form of

LETTER TO THE EDITOR ― MEDIA RELEASE
RESPONSE TO GIDEON FORMAN
THE GUARDIAN
CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND
The MYTH of Cancer
According to Anti-Pesticide Activist Gideon Forman …
« There’s a great deal of science demonstrating that people exposed to pesticides are at HIGHER RISK FOR CANCER. » [ ?!?! ]
Forman is RIDICULOUSLY WRONG !
Describing pest control products as somehow « cancer-causing » is a form of COERCION, INTIMIDATION, and TERRORISM.
There are NO pest control products that are known or probable carcinogens.
It is a MYTH to believe that pest control products somehow cause cancer.
There are THOUSANDS OF DEATHS per year from KNOWN CANCER-CAUSING SUBSTANCES such as cigarette smoke and alcohol.
There is NOT ONE KNOWN CANCER DEATH from the proper use of pest control products used in the Urban Landscape.
Pest control products are SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE, and NO HARM WILL OCCUR when they are used according to label directions.

Forman is SCIENTIFICALLY ILLITERATE
Gideon Forman expresses MOCK-FEAR OF ALL MODERN CHEMICALS.
Government Officials PAY NO SERIOUS ATTENTION.
Forman has a HUGE VESTED INTERESTS IN PERPETUATING IMAGINARY DANGERS about pest control products because he is PAID TO DO SO.
Moreover, Forman is THE LEAST QUALIFIED TO PROVIDE ANY ADVICE concerning pest control products since he is SCIENTIFICALLY ILLITERATE.
How did Forman arrive at the conclusion that products used in Professional Lawn Care are somehow « poisons » ?!?!
Was his ASSESSMENT based upon his vast scientific knowledge of pest control products ?!?! [ No ! ]
Did Forman ASSESS these products after spending time and money carefully studying their effects on health and environment ?!?! [ No ! ]
Is Forman, who is a MERE FUND-RAISER for an Anti-Pesticide Organization, COMPETENT to give ANY advice concerning these issues ?!?! [ No ! ]
In fact, Forman is WRONG and is NO LONGER TAKEN SERIOUSLY.
Pest control products are SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE.

Ontario College of Family Physicians ?!?!
According to Anti-Pesticide Activist Gideon Forman …
« The Ontario College of Family Physicians, for example, published a ground-breaking study showing pesticide exposure is associated with brain cancer, prostate cancer, kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. » [ ?!?! ]
This is FALSE !
There are NO pest control products that are known or probable carcinogens.
There is NOT ONE KNOWN CANCER DEATH from the proper use of pest control products used in the Urban Landscape.
Moreover, Ontario College of Family Physicians ( OCFP ) is a DISCREDITED RADICAL Anti-Pesticide Organization that is INDIRECTLY OPERATED by Gideon Forman.
OCFP DID NOT conduct a serious scientific study … it conducted a mere Literature Review, and could only use those reports found in the OPEN PUBLIC LITERATURE.
OCFP was NOT even in « The Information Loop » on issues regarding pest control products, and did not avail itself to the EXTENSIVE TOXICOLOGY DATABASE that is available from Health Canada.
OCFP never even bothered to request to look at the TOXICOLOGY DATABASE through a process that Health Canada refers to as The Reading Room.
The authors and reviewers of the BOGUS-OCFP-Review were not only SCIENTIFICALLY IGNORANT, they were LAZY and STUPID.

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health ?!?!
According to Anti-Pesticide Activist Gideon Forman …
« Another scientific study, published by doctors in the prestigious journal PAEDIATRICS AND CHILD HEALTH, found the common weed-killer 2,4-D can be persuasively linked to cancers, neurological impairment and reproductive problems. » [ ?!?! ]
Canadian Paediatric Society has OFFICIALLY WARNED Gideon Forman to STOP USING THIS FALSE REFERENCE.
Moreover, the authors of this April 2006 article have ABSOLUTELY NO affiliation with Canadian Paediatric Society, and NO competent expertise, recognized training, or background, in matters concerning pest control products.

Prohibition Is ILL-CONCEIVED
According to Anti-Pesticide Activist Gideon Forman …
« MORE PROHIBITIONS are necessary. » [ ?!?! ]
According to a 2011 media release from The Fraser Institute …
● PROHIBITION LAWS are ILL-CONCEIVED, and DO NOT accurately reflect the current state of scientific knowledge
● HASTY BANS of pest control products SHOULD NOT BE IMPLEMENTED until the underlying science is conclusive and a comprehensive analysis of the potential side-effects resulting from the BAN has been undertaken
The Fraser Institute is an independent non-profit research and educational organization ( THINK-TANK ) that espouses free market principles.

Pest Control Products Are SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE
The ASSESSMENT proving that pest control products are SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE is a process that can take up to TEN YEARS and COST HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
Only those pest control products that pose NO UNACCEPTABLE RISK to human health or the environment become HEALTH-CANADA-APPROVED and FEDERALLY-LEGAL.
Canada has one of the MOST STRINGENT REGULATORY APPROVAL SYSTEMS in the world.
Health Canada requires each new pest control product to go through about TWO-HUNDRED SEPARATE TESTS to examine health and environmental impacts as well as value.
And the cost to manufacturers to get a pest control product from the lab to store shelves is about 250 MILLION DOLLARS.
Consequently, Gideon Forman is NO LONGER TAKEN SERIOUSLY.
It is NO SURPRISE that Western Canadian Provinces are NOT LISTENING to Forman.
Government Officials are no longer as easily coerced into agreeing with Anti-Pesticide Activists like Forman since they have been warned in advance !
Government Officials have seen what has been happening in Eastern Canada !
Western Canadian Provinces WILL NOT legislate Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITIONS because they are NOT NECESSARY !
More specifically, Government Officials are aware that the PROVINCE OF ALBERTA WILL NOT LEGISLATE ANTI-PESTICIDE PROHIBITION.
ALBERTA STOPPED the Trend
While FEIGNING INCREDULOUSNESS with MOCK-LAMENTATION, Gideon Forman reported …
« Tragically, many provinces IN THE WEST still do not have PROHIBITIONS in place. » [ ?!?! ]
The PROVINCE OF ALBERTA STOPPED THE TREND towards PROHIBITION.
On August 9th, 2011, the GOVERNMENT OF ALBERTA stated that it WILL NOT CREATE RESTRICTIONS OR LAWS THAT CONFLICT WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, that is relied upon for health and safety assessments.
Consequently, the GOVERNMENT OF ALBERTA has indicated that is has NO INTENT TO PROHIBIT THE SALE OF ANY PEST CONTROL PRODUCT.
ALBERTA has monitored Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITIONS over the past few years and the approaches taken by other jurisdictions, and has found THE BASIS FOR ACTION CONFUSING AND INCONSISTENT.

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 !
