Busting The Facts About Cosmetic Pesticide Bans
CONTEXT
Ecojustice is an Anti-Golf, Anti-Pesticide, and Environmental-Terrorist Organization.
Ecojustice is also a FUND-RAISING, PROFIT-SEEKING, LOBBYING, and LITIGATION organization, and it is NOT a science, research, or health organization ― in other words, Ecojustice KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT PESTICIDES.
ORGANIZATION – ECOJUSTICE – WRETCHED ENVIRONMENTAL-TERRORIST ORGANIZATION ( Web-Page )
In Canada, Ecojustice and other Environmental-Terrorist Organizations are presently UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR CHARITY FRAUD AND CONSPIRACY.
The Government of Canada has allocated 8 million dollars for the Canada Revenue Agency to ensure that NO MORE THAN 10 PER CENT OF FUNDS IS BEING SPENT ON ADVOCACY.

Ecojustice is listed among CANADA’S PROMINENT ANTI-PESTICIDE & ENVIRONMENTAL-TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS.
ORGANIZATIONS – ANTI-PESTICIDE & ENVIRONMENTAL-TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS ( Web-Page )
Ecojustice is a PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT in the CONSPIRACY TO PROHIBIT against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape.
Their ANTI-PESTICIDE TERRORIST ACTS OF SUBVERSION HAVE EXTENSIVELY DAMAGED the Professional Lawn Care Industry in provinces like Ontario.
Ecojustice has FALSELY ALLEGED WITH NO SCIENTIFIC PROOF that pesticides used on lawns and gardens for cosmetic purposes expose people, pets and ecosystems to SOME KIND OF UNVERIFIABLE HARM.
Ecojustice also DOES NOT WANT THE PUBLIC TO KNOW that restricting so-called cosmetic pesticides means that lawns and public spaces WILL BE OVERRUN WITH WEEDS.
Ecojustice claims that there are so-called safer weed-control methods.
Ecojustice-Lunatics are LYING SACKS OF CWAP ― Green Alternative Pesticides DO NOT WORK !
Green Alternative Pesticides are BOGUS AND DISMAL FAILURES.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for home-owners or professionals to keep their properties beautiful by using so-called Green Alternative Pesticides.
GREEN ALTERNATIVES … BOGUS & DISMAL FAILURES ( Web-Page )
In October 2012, Ecojustice released a document entitled BACKGROUNDER: Busting The Facts About Cosmetic Pesticide Bans.
The document was FILLED WITH UNENDING LIES AND MIS-INFORMATION.
Ecojustice drafted this document despite the fact that PESTICIDE BANS ARE NEEDLESS, SENSELESS, AND MALICIOUS, and DO NOTHING TO PROTECTING HEALTH — and particularly DO NOTHING TO PROTECT THE HEALTH OF CHILDREN and DO NOTHING TO STOP CANCER.
Even Canadian Cancer Society has STATED REPEATEDLY that scientific research does NOT provide a conclusive link between pest control products and cancer.

√ Fact ― Pesticide Bans Lead To GARBAGE DUMPS
Provinces, cities and towns BECOME OVER-RUN WITH WEEDS when they PROHIBIT against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape.
This is because there are NO alternatives to conventional chemical pesticides.
Green Alternative Pesticides DO NOT WORK, and will NOT control weed invasions.
Green Alternative Cultural Practices, such as mowing, over-seeding, and top-dressing, DO NOT WORK, and will NOT control weeds.
Pesticide bans have never made our green spaces look so #@!!% ugly.
Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION leads to public and residential green spaces that become DANGEROUS AND PEST-INFESTED GARBAGE DUMPS.

√ Fact ― Pesticide Bans Are A FARCE
Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITIONS are INEFFECTIVE and are a FARCE.
Residents just find a way around PROHIBITION, and will keep using the same products.
Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION has been leading many residents to simply ORDER BANNED PRODUCTS FROM ELSEWHERE IN CANADA, and even have them delivered by courier.
The simplicity of the Internet has allowed this practice to go unchecked.
Many residents have also DRIVEN ACROSS THE U.S. BORDER to obtain pesticides banned in their province.

√ Fact ― Children Are NOT AT RISK With Pesticides
Pest control products are SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE, CAUSE NO HARM, and are NO THREAT TO CHILDREN.
There are NO valid reports of pest control product problems with CHILDREN.
In fact, MEDICATION is the leading cause of poisoning in children, and NOT pest control products.
Children ARE NOT MORE VULNERABLE to pest control products.
The SAFETY ASSESSMENTS of pest control products by Pest Management Regulatory Agency of Heath Canada ( PMRA ) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) DO TAKE CHILDREN INTO CONSIDERATION.
These SAFETY ASSESSMENTS DO CONSIDER CHILDREN’S PHYSIOLOGY, BEHAVIOURS, AND HABITS while playing on treated grass.
CHILDREN are going to spend a life-time being exposed to all sorts of chemicals ― auto exhaust, chlorine, perfume, smoke, soap, soot ― and they will be SAFE.
However, CHILDREN WILL NOT BE SAFE ON PESTICIDE-FREE PLAYING SURFACES ― in fact, PROHIBITION DOOMS CHILDREN.
With Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION, CHILDREN ARE ACTUALLY AT HIGH RISK OF SLIPPING AND TRIPPING, and becoming SERIOUSLY HURT.

√ Fact ― Pesticide Bans DOOM CHILDREN
Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITIONS REPRESENT A THREAT TO CHILDREN.
Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION DOOMS CHILDREN to SUFFER SERIOUS INJURIES. PESTICIDE BANS create HAZARDOUS TRIPPING AND SLIPPING CONDITIONS in sports turf.
In fact, WITH Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION, children are actually AT HIGH RISK of TRIPPING and becoming SERIOUSLY HURT.
Pest control products PREVENT slipping injuries on sports turf.
Children need WEED-FREE BASEBALL MOUNDS AND RUNS to avoid TRIPPING and HURTING THEMSELVES.
Without conventional pest control products, playing surfaces become THIN AND YELLOW, and OVER-RUN WITH WEEDS and INFESTED WITH INSECTS, resulting in the DISMAL DESTRUCTION OF TURF PLAYING SURFACES.
With Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION, Government Officials are OFFICIALLY LIABLE FOR ALL INJURIES.

√ Fact ― Pesticides CAUSE NO HARM
Pest control products are SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE and CAUSE NO HARM.
Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION is UNNECESSARY because Health Canada already registers these substances for use in Canada.
INDISPUTABLE and CONCLUSIVE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH shows that, as reported through Health Canada’s VAST TOXICOLOGY DATABASE, NO HARM WILL OCCUR when pest control products are used according to label directions.
Pest control products are one of THE MOST STRINGENTLY REGULATED PRODUCTS.
The RISK ASSESSMENT of pest control products used in the Urban Landscape indicates that they are PRACTICALLY-NON-TOXIC.
The toxicity of these products is NOT VERY HIGH when compared to TABLE SALT.
There is NOT A SINGLE LEGITIMATE HEALTH EXPERT who demands Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION.
Not surprisingly, NOT A SINGLE Anti-Pesticide Activist has ANY recognized background, training, or experience in matters concerning pest control products, making their opinions FLAWED, DISTORTED, VALUELESS and WORTHLESS.
Anti-Pesticide Activists and their organizations have NOT SPENT A SINGLE PENNY to research pest control products.
Anti-Pesticide Activists HAVE NEVER conducted a serious scientific study … evidently because they are NOT COMPETENT OR MOTIVATED to do so.
Anti-Pesticide Activists CANNOT EVEN BE BOTHERED to use the EXTENSIVE TOXICOLOGY DATABASE that is available from Health Canada and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
They are not only SCIENTIFICALLY IGNORANT, but also LAZY and OBTUSE.
Health Canada’s EXTENSIVE TOXICOLOGY DATABASE CLEARLY PROVES that pest control products are SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE since they have been scrutinized and approved by the HUNDREDS of expert scientists at Health Canada !
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 costing about 250 MILLION DOLLARS.
Consequently, when pest control products are used properly, there are NO harmful irreversible effects to health and the environment !
Anti-Pesticide Activists and their organizations are WASTING THE PUBLIC’S MONEY because pest control products are, in fact, GOVERNMENT-APPROVED, SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE, PRACTICALLY-NON-TOXIC, and CAUSE NO HARM.
ALLEGATIONS Anti-Pesticide Activists about the IMAGINARY DANGER of pest control products are TOTALLY FALSE, and are UNTRUE MIS-REPRESENTATIONS designed to ALARM and ENRAGE the public and enhance the BUSINESS, CASH-FLOW and PROFIT of Canadian Cancer Society.
Anti-Pesticide Activists have NO SCIENTIFIC PROOF that pest control products cause cancer.
Pest control products CAUSE NO HARM, including chronic effects such as CANCER.
Anti-Pesticide Activists DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT !

Organizations like Ecojustice, who are operated by a handful of non-expert fact-deficient lunatic-lying fund-raisers who are PAID-FOR-PROFIT as SUBVERSIVE Anti-Pesticide LOBBYISTS.
Health Canada, and NOT Ecojustice, has THE ESSENTIAL EXPERTISE on the subject of pest control products.
Not a single person at Ecojustice has ANY recognized expertise, training or background in matters concerning pest control products.
NO ONE at Ecojustice is competent to give advice.
Ecojustice is RIDICULOUSLY IMPLYING that its NON-EXPERT ASSESSMENT is somehow being withheld from Health Canada and EVERY other regulatory agency in the world.
Ecojustice is also a FUND-RAISING, PROFIT-SEEKING, LOBBYING, and LITIGATION organization, and it is NOT a science, research, or health organization.
Ecojustice is a mere FUND-RAISING MILLIONAIRE MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR PROFIT-MAKING MACHINE.

√ Fact ― Pesticides DO NOT Cause Cancer
Pest control products are SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE, CAUSE NO HARM, and DO NOT CAUSE CANCER.
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.
Even Canadian Cancer Society’s own web-sites STATE REPEATEDLY that scientific research does NOT provide a conclusive link between pest control products and cancer

√ Fact ― Pesticide Exposure Is NOT A CONCERN
Pest control products are SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE, and, at very low doses, pest control products are NOT OF CONCERN to humans.
REDUCING OUR EXPOSURE to TRACES of dietary synthetic PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS is expensive and will NOT PLAUSIBLY REDUCE HEALTH ISSUES SUCH AS CANCER.
99.99 per cent of the PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS we eat are NATURALLY PRESENT in plants to ward off insects and other predators.
Many of our foods CONTAIN PESTICIDES CREATED NATURALLY BY PLANTS FOR SELF-PROTECTION.
We ingest at least ten thousand times more, by weight, of natural pesticides than of synthetic pesticide residues.
These natural toxic chemicals vary enormously in chemical structure, appear to be present in all plants, and serve to protect plants against fungi, insects, and animal predators.

√ Fact ― Epidemiology Studies Are WORTHLESS
Pest control products are SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE, and there is NO SCIENTIFIC BASIS FOR PESTICIDE BANS.
So-called REAL WORLD EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDIES are SO OFTEN WRONG that they are coming close to being WORTHLESS.
If a conventional pest control product actually caused cancer, it is fairly certain that this would be ascertained through the extensive testing procedures required before it is registered for use.
The idea that there is an epidemic of human cancer caused by synthetic industrial chemicals is NOT SUPPORTED BY EITHER TOXICOLOGY OR SO-CALLED REAL WORLD EPIDEMIOLOGY.
EPIDEMIOLOGY is the study of the causes, distribution, and control of health problems in populations.
EPIDEMIOLOGY STUDIES cannot be relied upon ALONE, and must be backed-up with ANIMAL TOXICITY STUDIES.
The MOST USEFUL AND RELEVANT EPIDEMIOLOGY STUDIES are those that properly characterize exposure in the specific context of how the product is used.
Thus, reliance on EPIDEMIOLOGY STUDIES in regulatory decision-making is challenging in the absence of a direct-measure-of-exposure.
EPIDEMIOLOGY STUDIES tend to make use of surrogate or indirect measures for pest control product exposure ( e.g., area treated, amount used, amount purchased ), which can lead to UNRELIABLE ESTIMATES OF THE RISK.
EPIDEMIOLOGY STUDIES THAT IDENTIFY POTENTIAL ASSOCIATIONS MUST BE EXAMINED WITH WELL-CONDUCTED ANIMAL TOXICITY STUDIES that are specifically designed to elicit toxic effects over a series of dose levels.
These ANIMAL TOXICITY STUDIES are assessed to determine if there is any biological basis for the POTENTIAL ASSOCIATIONS noted in EPIDEMIOLOGY STUDIES.
The examination of ANIMAL TOXICITY STUDIES from internationally-accepted guideline studies using doses well-above those to which humans are typically exposed, combined with exposure data obtained from well-designed studies, is currently a useful methodology available for assessing risks to human health.
Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency ( PMRA ) undertakes this kind of ASSESSMENT to SUPPLEMENT INFORMATION about POTENTIAL ASSOCIATIONS that may be established by EPIDEMIOLOGY STUDIES.
This approach is consistent with that of other regulatory authorities that base human health risk assessments on ANIMAL TOXICITY DATA.

√ Fact ― Professional Lawn Care REDUCES POISONINGS
A final point to keep in mind regarding pesticides registered for use in Canada is this ― accidents can and do happen.
On June 21st, 2007, David Suzuki Foundation issued the following statement ―
More than 6,000 Canadians are directly poisoned by pesticides each year and nearly half of those are children under the age of six, according to a new report by David Suzuki Foundation.
Now, the fact that people across Canada are reporting such problems with pest control products is NOT UNUSUAL.
Poison Control Centres also report poisonings with house plants, paints, solvents, detergents, cooking oil, drain cleaners, etc … , and NOT just pest control products.
MEDICATION is the leading cause of poisoning in children, and NOT pest control products.
The vast majority of pesticide poisonings with children involve toxic, and CONCENTRATED, products stored in an unsecured fashion within the home.
In June 2007, Suzuki even admitted to this issue in another of his foundation reports, Northern Exposure – Acute Pesticide Poisonings In Canada ―
This disproportionate level of impact reflects a number of factors but primarily UNSAFE STORAGE [ … ].
In 2001, a Quebec poison control organization, Groupe Scientifique Sur Les Pesticides, reported that …
Close to 40 per cent of reported cases [ of poisoning by pest control products ] involve oral exposure, primarily in children, which points to the risks associated with IMPROPER STORAGE of these products in the home.
For decades, the Professional Lawn Care Industry has advocated that using its services is SAFER FOR CHILDREN than Do-It-Yourself Lawn Care.
Obviously, Professional Lawn Care Companies apply pest control products in a DILUTE form.
Do-It-Yourself Homeowners who apply these same products themselves must store them in the home in a CONCENTRATED form.
DILUTED products are tens of thousands of times LESS TOXIC than CONCENTRATED products.
Of course, the FEAR-MONGERING Enviro-Terror-Activists wish to give the FALSE IMPRESSION that children and adults are being exposed to dangerous cancer-causing agents whenever a CERTIFIED APPLICATOR applies even DILUTED products.
There are NO valid reports of problems with CHILDREN when pest control products are applied by a CERTIFIED APPLICATOR from a business operating in the Professional Lawn Care Industry.
There is NOT ONE KNOWN OF ACUTE POISONING from the use of pest control products used by CERTIFIED APPLICATORS from the Professional Lawn Care Industry.

√ Fact ― Pesticide Bans Lead To ARTIFICIAL GRASS
In provinces like Ontario, Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION has made it IMPOSSIBLE TO NURSE DAMAGED NATURAL GRASS SPORTS FIELDS BACK TO HEALTH.
With NO WAY TO SAVE NATURAL GRASS SPORTS FIELDS THAT BECOME INFESTED WITH WEEDS, the sensible solution has been to SWITCH TO PLASTIC TURF.
ARTIFICIAL/SYNTHETIC GRASS costs more to install, but delivers substantially more playing time.
Nonetheless, observers expect many more fields to go FROM REAL GRASS TO FAKE in the years to come, because of PROHIBITION.

√ Fact ― Pesticide Bans Are BAD FOR FARMERS
So-called COSMETIC PESTICIDE BANS eventually WILL APPLY TO AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES.
According to Canadian Cancer Society, once the Professional Lawn Care Industry has been ENTIRELY DESTROYED BY PROHIBITION, the Agriculture Industry is NEXT !
Canadian Cancer Society and other Anti-Pesticide Terrorist-Organizations have been planning to ANNIHILATE the Agriculture Industry.
Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION IS SPREADING, and the Agriculture Industry is NOW BEING TARGETED.
The Anti-Pesticide ASSAULT against the Professional Lawn Care Industry was PREPARATORY TO AN ATTACK AGAINST AGRICULTURAL USES.
Anti-Pesticide CONSPIRACIES AGAINST AGRICULTURE are currently being organized by Cancer-Lunatics.
The Agriculture Industry is in a VULNERABLE position regarding pest control products.
Both the Agriculture Industry and the Modern Professional Lawn Care Industry use the SAME ingredients that are needed to control insect, disease, and weed pests.
In fact, Professional Lawn Care maintenance requires LESS PESTICIDE-INPUTS than Agriculture.
The Agriculture Industry enjoys the benefits from a PROHIBITION EXCEPTION STATUS despite the fact that it uses the VERY SAME INGREDIENTS employed in Professional Lawn Care maintenance.
The Agriculture Industry is NOW AN EASY TARGET.
Anti-Pesticide Activists are already alleging that the so-called threat to health and environment posed by Professional Lawn Care is EQUAL OR HIGHER WITH AGRICULTURAL FOOD CROPS.
Of course, THIS ALLEGED THREAT IS A MYTH !
If it is safe to eat pesticide-treated food, it is also safe to walk on a pesticide-treated lawn.
ANTI-PESTICIDE CONSPIRACIES ARE BEING ORGANIZED AGAINST THE AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY, which includes Farms and Nurseries.
On June 12th, 2012, during a City Council Meeting in Kamloops, British Columbia, observers could not believe the comments uttered by a PAID-FOR-PROFIT Lobbyist from Canadian Cancer Society.
Observers were in shock and could not believe what they were hearing.
Canadian Cancer Society is pushing for a BAN on ALL PESTICIDES, not just against the Professional Lawn Care Industry, but against the AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY as well.
Now that the Professional Lawn Care Industry has been DESTROYED …
… AGRICULTURE IS NEXT !
AGRICULTURE – AGRICULTURE IS NEXT ! – CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY WANTS TO ANNIHILATE THE AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY – JERILYNN MAKI – KAMLOOPS, BRITISH COLUMBIA – 2012 06 19 ( Reports )
Since 2008, Canadian Cancer Society and other Anti-Pesticide Terrorist-Organizations have been planning to ANNIHILATE the Agriculture Industry.
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.
To that end, the society is holding a conference starting today [ AUGUST 13TH, 2008 ] at which it has assembled experts to advise it on whether cosmetic pesticide restrictions, which now exist in Ontario, Quebec and many municipalities, should be followed by TOUGHER ACTION AGAINST THE USE OF SPRAYS IN AGRICULTURE.
The society doesn’t have a view on the related issue of whether organically grown foods are a better option, a topic that will also be discussed.
The conference mentioned in the above statement was organized and held by Canadian Cancer Society on AUGUST 13TH, 2008, in Toronto.
It was called …

According to Canadian Cancer Society …
Experts from around the world will lead discussions [ ON AUGUST 13TH, 2008 ] on the CANCER RISKS OF PESTICIDES USED ON AGRICULTURAL CROPS, at a ground-breaking conference organized and hosted by the Canadian Cancer Society.
BEWARE !
Canadian Cancer Society, and other Anti-Pesticide Terrorist-Organizations, have already PREPARED THE GROUND FOR THEIR NEXT ATTACK …
… this time, AGAINST THE AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY AND AGAINST THE NURSERY INDUSTRY.
Canadian Cancer Society, and other Anti-Pesticide Terrorist-Organizations, have been PLANNING TO ANNIHILATE THE AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY, WHICH INCLUDES THE NURSERY PRODUCTION INDUSTRY.

√ Fact ― Pesticide Bans DESTROY GOLF FACILITIES
The Golf Industry enjoys the benefits from an Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION EXCEPTION STATUS despite the fact that it uses the VERY SAME INGREDIENTS used in Professional Lawn Care maintenance.
For many years, public scrutiny of golf course maintenance practices, as well as a PERCEIVED expansion of the Organic Industry, have forced some Golf Facilities to UNWISELY re-think the use of synthetic fertilizers and pest control products.
However, the Golf Course Industry is now facing a new challenge from Anti-Pesticide Activists … the so-called ORGANIC OR PESTICIDE-FREE GOLF COURSES.
Anti-Pesticide Activists are FALSELY ALLEGING that this has somehow become a major trend in the industry.
There are approximately TWO THOUSAND Golf Facilities across Canada.
There are a MERE THREE known so-called ORGANIC PESTICIDE FREE Golf Facilities.
Fiddler’s Green Golf Course, Blackburn Meadows Golf Club, and Brigadoon Golf Course.
There is NO VOLUNTARILY SHIFT towards pesticide-free Golf Facilities.
These types of facilities often DO NOT HAVE HIGH-END PLAYING CONDITIONS, which can be INADEQUATE FOR PAYING PLAYERS.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for Golf Facilities to keep their properties BEAUTIFUL AND PLAYABLE by using so-called Green Alternative Pesticides and Practices.
There are NO viable, efficacious, economical, or low-risk alternatives to replace conventional pest control products.
According to experts, ORGANIC PESTICIDE FREE DOES NOT WORK, in many, and perhaps most, settings.
There will be a lot of UNHAPPY GOLFERS if the Golf Industry goes ORGANIC AND PESTICIDE FREE.
There will be a lot of Golf Facilities that will FALL INTO BANKRUPTCY AND RECEIVERSHIP if the Golf Industry goes pesticide-free.
For example, Blackburn Meadows Golf Club claimed to be Canada’s #1 Organic Golf Course.
It was NOT a good example of a successful and lucrative PESTICIDE- and CHEMICAL FERTILIZER-FREE Golf Facility.
Blackburn Meadows Golf Club was a nine-hole course that was established in 1992 at the remote Salt Spring Island in British Columbia.
In 2010, it fell into BANKRUPTCY, and went into RECEIVERSHIP.
In 2012, Blackburn Meadows issued the following statement ―
Unfortunately, Blackburn Meadows WILL NOT BE OPENING for 2012.

√ Fact ― Pesticide Bans Are BAD FOR BUSINESS
Because of Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION, DAMAGES to the Professional Lawn Care Industry were EXTENSIVE because there were NO valid economical alternatives to replace the prohibited products.
Because of PROHIBITION, Professional Lawn Care businesses, which at one time provided a good living and some equity for eventual sale for retirement, became WORTHLESS !
Many multi-vehicle Professional Lawn Care businesses were FORCED TO DOWN-SIZE THEIR OPERATIONS to a single truck.
There was a GLUT OF USED-EQUIPMENT-FOR-SALE because of the DOWN-SIZING AND EXODUS of Professional Lawn Care businesses.
Because of Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION, HUNDREDS OF BUSINESSES WERE FORCED TO EXIT FROM THE MARKET AND DISAPPEARED INTO TOTAL OBLIVION.
Professional Lawn Care businesses were simply ABANDONED ― no one was able to buy or sell a Professional Lawn Care business.
Because of Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION, the owners, employees, and families dependent on Professional Lawn Care businesses faced TERROR, DESPAIR, and DESTITUTION.
There were NO OPPORTUNITIES FOR BUSINESS GROWTH.
Because of the 2009 PROVINCIAL PROHIBITION in Ontario, businesses operating in the Professional Lawn Care Industry LOST OVER 500,000,000 DOLLARS, with up to 12,500 UNEMPLOYED.
In Ontario, ONE-BUSINESS-PER-WEEK DISAPPEARED INTO TOTAL OBLIVION, and, by 2012, HALF THE BUSINESSES CLOSED THEIR DOORS.
Observers are expecting 780 BUSINESS FAILURES OR BANKRUPTCIES.
The SAME fate awaits other jurisdictions like British Columbia and Manitoba.

PROVINCE OF ONTARIO – LIVING IN ENVIRONMENTAL INFAMY ( Web-Page )
On February 25th, 2009, M-REP Communications estimated the following CATASTROPHIC LOSSES for businesses operating in the Professional Lawn Care Industry in Ontario because of the 2009 PROVINCIAL PROHIBITION ―
The following is using the numbers from the OTRF’s 2008 Economic Profile of the Ontario Turfgrass Industry.
In Ontario if we see only two thirds of the losses experienced in HALIFAX ( A 25 PER CENT REDUCTION ) gross revenue loss would be around 315 MILLION DOLLARS, operational and wages would drop over 144 million dollars and the NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES WOULD BE REDUCED BY AT LEAST 5,250.
Based on the current trends caused by the uncertainty surrounding C-64 and the banning of the of the industries’ domestic market for goods and services the reduction will exceed 80 per cent.
This translates into 1-BILLION-DOLLAR IN LOSS REVENUE to the industry which will translate into A REDUCTION OF 461 MILLION DOLLARS NOT SPENT ON OPERATIONS AND EQUIPMENT due to the LOSS OF 16,800 JOBS.
We understand the Liberals in Ontario are in support of this.

Because of Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION in the PROVINCE OF QUEBEC, businesses operating in the Professional Lawn Care Industry were DESTROYED.
Because of the 2004-2006 PROVINCIAL PROHIBITION in Quebec, OVER 60 PER CENT of the businesses operating in the Professional Lawn Care Industry were ANNIHILATED, and HUNDREDS OF BUSINESSES DISAPPEARED INTO TOTAL OBLIVION.
Six years after the 2004-2006 PROVINCIAL PROHIBITION in Quebec, the REMAINING businesses operating in the Professional Lawn Care Industry LOST UP TO 70 PER CENT OF THE BUSINESS THEY ONCE HAD.
It is INCONGRUOUS to believe that jurisdictions like Ontario will not suffer the same fate by 2015, especially with greater restrictions than Quebec.

Because of the 2000 MUNICIPAL PROHIBITION in Halifax Regional Municipality, businesses operating in the Professional Lawn Care Industry LOST OVER 50 PER CENT OF THEIR CUSTOMERS, and REVENUES PLUMMETED BY 40 PER CENT.
In 2000, Halifax IMPOSED, over a three-year period, the PROHIBITION of conventional pest control products used in the Urban Landscape.
The Halifax 2000 MUNICIPAL PROHIBITION was enacted in 2000, and the date it was IMPOSED in April 2003.
This Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION led to CATASTROPHIC HARDSHIP AND LOSSES for businesses operating in the Professional Lawn Care Industry because there were NO valid economical alternatives to replace the prohibited products.
The number of businesses DID NOT GROW WHATSOEVER !
In 2005, two years after the 2000 MUNICIPAL PROHIBITION was IMPLEMENTED, businesses operating in the Professional Lawn Care Industry SUFFERED CATASTROPHIC BUSINESS LOSSES with …
REVENUES DOWN BY 30 PER CENT, and
CUSTOMER NUMBERS DOWN BY 40 PER CENT
In 2005, Peter Bugden, Principal Owner and President of Nutri-Lawn, reported about the CATASTROPHIC BUSINESS LOSSES caused by the 2000 MUNICIPAL PROHIBITION in Halifax Regional Municipality ―
The Halifax pesticide by-law, which was FULLY IMPLEMENTED in 2003 after two years of property registration and education.
He [ Bugden ] indicated that his customers have not been very receptive to the alternative programs that he has offered, and HIS REVENUES AND CUSTOMER BASE ARE DOWN BY MORE THAN 30 PER CENT AND 40 PER CENT RESPECTIVELY.
He also stated that the by-law has damaged the business pace of professional lawn care operators, as there are no restrictions on the sale of pesticides at the retail level, which has increased dramatically.
On February 25th, 2009, M-REP Communications issued a report on the reality of the Statistics Canada report regarding the Professional Lawn Care Industry in Halifax Regional Municipality ―
Contrary to published reports by activist about Halifax.
The number of companies in all of Nova Scotia is around 150.
The Stats Canada report they keep referring to reflects a sector that includes lawn care.
Activists made claims that the number of companies operating in the Halifax area have increased by 53 per cent.
THIS IS A LIE BY THE ACTIVISTS TO COOP SUPPORT.
The reality is the OPERATIONAL REVENUE DROPPED BY 40 PER CENT with most of the 9 companies that operate in the Halifax area, and it has taken 5 years to recover from those losses.
By 2012, businesses in Halifax reported that customers DISINTEGRATED BY OVER 50 PER CENT, and REVENUES PLUMMETED BY 40 PER CENT.
Halifax’s CATASTROPHIC BUSINESS LOSSES are CONSISTENT WITH LOSSES REPORTED IN QUEBEC.
Because of the 2004-2006 PROVINCIAL PROHIBITION in Quebec, OVER 60 PER CENT of the businesses operating in the Professional Lawn Care Industry were ANNIHILATED, and HUNDREDS OF BUSINESSES DISAPPEARED INTO TOTAL OBLIVION.
Six years after the 2004-2006 PROVINCIAL PROHIBITION in Quebec, the REMAINING businesses operating in the Professional Lawn Care Industry LOST UP TO 70 PER CENT OF THE BUSINESS THEY ONCE HAD.
It is INCONGRUOUS to believe that jurisdictions like Halifax could not have suffered the same fate as Quebec.

√ Fact ― Pesticide Bans DO NOT Improve Water Quality
Non-Expert Anti-Pesticide Activists ALLEGE that the PROHIBITION of pest control products in the Urban Landscape somehow leads to lower concentrations of herbicide in stream water.
This is WRONG !
This allegation is FALSE, MISLEADING, and CONTRADICTS OVER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF RESEARCH on the issue of water quality and the use of pest control products for turfgrass maintenance.
ALL water studies reaffirm that Health Canada is doing a GOOD JOB of assessing the products since the levels detected in streams DO NOT POSE A RISK TO PEOPLE, PLANTS OR ANIMALS.
On the issue of the Province of Ontario, the 2009 PROHIBITION of pest control products DEFINITELY DID NOT improve water quality in streams and rivers.
For more than ten years, well BEFORE the 2009 PROHIBITION, there were CONSISTENTLY LOW LEVELS of pest control products in Ontario streams.
ALMOST UNDETECTABLE LEVELS of pest control products were found in Ontario streams EVEN BEFORE the 2009 PROHIBITION.
Both before and after the 2009 PROHIBITION, the presence of pest control products were measured in the PARTS PER TRILLION RANGE and WELL BELOW water quality guidelines.
In fact, previous studies have shown that, for more than ten years, there have been CONSISTENTLY LOW LEVELS of pest control products in Ontario streams.
The 2009 Ontario PROHIBITION did NOT protect the environment.
Moreover, the mere ability to measure or detect the presence of a pest control product or fertilizer ingredient in the environment is NOT AN INDICATION that the substance poses any health risk, especially at the TRACE LEVELS at which we can now detect them, which is in PARTS PER TRILLION.
Furthermore, most pest control products used in the Urban Landscape have a SHORT HALF-LIFE in the environment ― for example, 2,4-D Herbicide has a relatively short half-life in water of 1 to 2 weeks.
Even at ALMOST UNDETECTABLE LEVELS, pest control products are SHORT-LIVED.
It is a MYTH to believe that ANY PROHIBITION protects our stream water.
This allegation is FALSE, MISLEADING, and CONTRADICTS OVER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF RESEARCH.
Pest control products used in the Urban Landscape DO NOT enter our lakes and rivers through surface run-off and storm sewers.
Moreover, the PROHIBITION of pest control products in the Urban Landscape will NOT improve the water quality of our streams and rivers.
It is a MYTH to believe that ANY PROHIBITION protects the environment.

√ Fact ― Real Trends AGAINST Pesticide Bans
Victories Against Anti-Pesticide Terrorists Demonstrate The Real Trends AGAINST Pesticide Bans.
Across North America, Government Officials are no longer readily jumping in favour of Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION.
Anti-Pesticide Lunatic-Terrorists who seek to IMPOSE PROHIBITION want to DESTROY Modern Professional Pesticide Applicator and Manufacturer Industries.
With PROHIBITION, municipalities WASTE hundreds of thousands of dollars beautifying the community.
There are dozens of jurisdictions that STOPPED or RESCINDED or LIMITED or OPPOSED Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION, or granted Professional Lawn Care Businesses with an EXCEPTION STATUS.
These jurisdictions have KEPT THEIR COMMUNITIES BEAUTIFUL AND SAFE.
WITH PESTICIDE BANS, CHILDREN ARE AT HIGH RISK of SLIPPING AND TRIPPING and becoming SERIOUSLY HURT.
Without conventional pest control products, playing surfaces become THIN AND YELLOW, and OVER-RUN WITH WEEDS and INFESTED WITH INSECTS, resulting in the DISMAL DESTRUCTION OF TURF PLAYING SURFACES.
Pest control products PREVENT SLIPPING AND TRIPPING INJURIES and KEEP CHILDREN SAFE.
CHILDREN NEED TO BE KEPT SAFE WITH REAL TRENDS AGAINST ANTI-PESTICIDE PROHIBITION.
