Overview
Speaking Out Against Anti-Pesticide Terrorism
The use of pesticides in Canada is regulated by the federal agency called Health Canada, which operates under Pest Control Products Act.
Several jurisdictions across Canada have IMPOSED PROHIBITION against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape under the PRETEXT of somehow protecting health and environment.
PROHIBITION WAS IMPOSED IN DEFIANCE OF POLLS indicating the PUBLIC DOES NOT WANT PESTICIDE BANS.
PROHIBITION WAS ALSO IMPOSED IN DEFIANCE of the fact that pest control products are HEALTH-CANADA-APPROVED, FEDERALLY-LEGAL, PRACTICALLY-NON-TOXIC, SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE, and CAUSE NO HARM.
Nevertheless, Ontario SEVERELY RESTRICTED the use of pest control products, but other provinces have been CONSIDERABLY LESS RESTRICTIVE, and several jurisdictions across Western Canada have STOPPED THE TREND AGAINST PROHIBITION.
Overview
Quebec
On April 3rd, 2004, the Government of Quebec ARBITRARILY IMPOSED the NEEDLESS, SENSELESS, and MALICIOUS PROHIBITION against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape.
Although Quebec PROHIBITED 2,4-D Herbicide, but it is a little-known fact that Quebec DID NOT PROHIBIT ALL PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS, and PERMITTED products such as Acclaim Herbicide, Betasan Herbicide, Deltagard Insecticide, Dicamba Herbicide, Dimension Herbicide, Imidacloprid Insecticide, and Spinosad Insecticide.
In 2009, Dow AgroSciences, the manufacturer of 2,4-D, sought a REPEAL of Quebec’s Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION by INITIATING A LEGAL CHALLENGE against the Canadian federal government under the provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ).
On May 25th, 2011, Quebec’s PROHIBITION WAS INVALIDATED when a LEGAL CHALLENGE WAS SETTLED, and Government Officials were HUMILIATED INTO ADMITTING THAT 2,4-D DID NOT POSE AN UNACCEPTABLE RISK to human health or the environment.
Quebec was the first province to declare weed control products containing 2,4-D as POSSIBLY carcinogenic, which has now been DEEMED AS FALSE.
Dow AgroSciences’s LEGAL SETTLEMENT demonstrated that pest control products are SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE and Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITIONS are IRREFUTABLY INVALIDATED.
Overview
New Brunswick
As of fall 2009, the Province of New Brunswick PROHIBITED the sale and use of more than 200 OVER-THE-COUNTER lawn care pesticide products, specifically products containing the ingredient 2,4-D.
Home-owners, however, CAN SPOT-TREAT WEEDS using pre-mixed over-the-counter products.
As of February 2010, New Brunswick’s Department Of Environment IMPOSED MANDATORY INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT ( IPM ) ACCREDITATION for businesses operating in the Professional Lawn Care Industry.
These businesses CAN USE PESTICIDES if they have PROPER TRAINING in Integrated Pest Management, and if they DON’T USE PESTICIDES OVER MORE THAN FIFTY PER CENT OF A LAWN IN ONE SEASON.
Integrated Pest Management ( IPM ) provisions includes requirements for businesses operating in the Professional Lawn Care Industry to significantly reduce their reliance on blanket treatment, and instead PROMOTES SPOT TREATMENT of problem areas.
Pesticide treatment of PUBLIC AREAS such as PARKS and SPORTS FIELDS, as well as SCHOOL YARDS and HOSPITAL GROUNDS, is still ALLOWED.
Overview
Western Canada
In 2011, the Provinces of Alberta and British Columbia both STOPPED THE TREND AGAINST PROHIBITION in Western Canada.
There are REAL TRENDS AGAINST PESTICIDE BANS across Western Canada since Government Officials ARE NO LONGER AS EASILY MIS-INFORMED AND COERCED into agreeing with Anti-Pesticide Activists, and are NO LONGER INCLINED to legislate PROHIBITION.
Several of jurisdictions in Western Canada that have STOPPED or RESCINDED or LIMITED or OPPOSED Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION, or granted Professional Lawn Care businesses with an EXCEPTION STATUS ―
Alberta ( Province ), Altona ( Manitoba ), Beaumont ( Alberta ), British Columbia ( Province ), Calgary ( Alberta ), Campbell River ( British Columbia ), Edmonton ( Alberta ), Kamloops ( British Columbia ), Kelowna ( British Columbia ), Merritt ( British Columbia ), Port Alberni ( British Columbia ), Portage La Prairie ( Manitoba ), Regina ( Saskatchewan ), Rossland ( British Columbia ), Salmon Arm ( British Columbia ), Steinbach ( Manitoba ), Stuartburn ( Manitoba), Vernon ( British Columbia ), Winkler ( Manitoba ).

Overview
Thinking Twice Before Banning Pesticides
Government Officials are THINKING TWICE BEFORE BANNING PESTICIDES.
Government Officials have observed that the basis for PROHIBITION has been CONFUSING AND INCONSISTENT.
Government Officials have seen that PROHIBITION is based upon IDEOLOGICAL, POLITICALLY-MOTIVATED DECISIONS, and have PLAYED ON PEOPLE’S FEARS and LACK OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE.
Government Officials now recognize that PROHIBITIONS are NOT BASED ON SCIENCE, but on a POLITICAL AGENDA.
Moreover, Government Officials now understand that PROHIBITING pest control products is NOT beneficial for businesses operating in the Professional Lawn Care Industry.
Because of PROHIBITION, municipalities have been forced to spend STUNNING AMOUNTS OF MONEY ANNUALLY, in the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS TO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN ADDED MAINTENANCE COSTS.
Because of PROHIBITION, CHILDREN ARE AT HIGHER RISK OF SUFFERING INJURIES with the creation of HAZARDOUS SLIPPING AND TRIPPING CONDITIONS on playing surfaces.
Government Officials ARE INCLINED TO AVOID BEING OFFICIALLY LIABLE FOR ALL INJURIES.

Anti-Pesticide Activists
Anti-Pesticide Activists had assured ALL Government Officials that THE EFFECTS OF PROHIBITION WOULD SOMEHOW BE POSITIVE.
Anti-Pesticide Activists had also assured ALL Government Officials that safe, effective, and economical Green Alternative Pesticides were already available to replace conventional pest control products, when, in fact, these alternatives were BOGUS, LESS EFFECTIVE, and STUNNINGLY EXPENSIVE !
Moreover, several Anti-Pesticide Activists PROFITED FROM PROHIBITION as SUPPLIERS of Green Alternative Pesticides and Organic Lawn Care Franchises.
Government Officials now realize that NOT A SINGLE Anti-Pesticide Activist has ANY recognized expertise, training or background in matters concerning pest control products.
Government Officials also realize that Anti-Pesticide Activists have VESTED INTEREST IN PROHIBITION, not only as SUPPLIERS, but also as BENEFICIARIES OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS received by their organizations in the form of TAX-FREE DONATIONS, GRANTS, and MEMBERSHIPS.

Outlooks On Pest Management
Selected and Adapted Excerpts
The Wisdom of Petelle
Summary
SCIENCE SHOULD DICTATE PUBLIC POLICIES ON URBAN PESTICIDE USE, and SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED.
Despite the fact that pest control products are HIGHLY REGULATED PRODUCTS, several jurisdictions across Canada continue to UNDERMINE THE REGULATORY PROCESS by IMPOSING ARBITRARY BANS on FEDERALLY-APPROVED products.
The PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE is the foundation for Canada’s regulatory system.
The Pest Control Products Act is INHERENTLY PRECAUTIONARY with its required pre-market assessments and prevention of unacceptable risks, and has a PRECAUTIONARY APPROACH by requiring that all currently registered products undergo periodic re-evaluations to ensure they continue to meet modern scientific standards.
The restrictions against pest control products should NOT be based on UNSCIENTIFIC ARGUMENTS.
Decisions such as these should continue to be made ON THE BASIS OF SOUND SCIENCE, THOROUGH RESEARCH, and COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION by the scientific professionals we all depend on to keep us safe.
The Wisdom of Petelle
Regulatory Process
Health Canada, which EMPLOYS THE PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE in the regulation of pest control products, has found pest control products to be SAFE FOR USE by individuals.
The reality is that pest control products are one of the MOST REGULATED PRODUCTS available in Canada.
The exhaustive and comprehensive scientific review and safety assessment by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency ( PMRA ) ENSURES THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
Using the strictest health and safety standards anywhere in the world, Health Canada carefully reviews all scientific evidence and studies before a pest control product may be approved for sale and use.
Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency employs more than 300 scientists who are dedicated to the evaluation of pest control products.
They are EXPERTS in this field, and only products are registered that meet Health Canada’s STRICT HEALTH AND SAFETY STANDARDS.
Recognizing the need to continue to lead in the protection of human health, the federal government updated and brought into force new pesticide legislation in 2006, providing Canadians with the STRONGEST PROTECTION on a global scale.
Specifically, pest control products UNDERGO MORE THAN 200 SEPARATE TESTS addressing a wide range of health and environmental issues.
The Pest Control Products Act requires SPECIAL PROVISIONS for the PROTECTION of various groups, including CHILDREN, PREGNANT WOMEN, and the ELDERLY.
Special reviews can also be triggered at any time if new scientific evidence calls into question the safety of a product.
The legislation has very STRINGENT TRANSPARENCY PROVISIONS, and, as such, all the data as well as the analysis on pest control products are publicly available for review.
Virtually NO OTHER PRODUCT has been subject to the same level of SCIENTIFIC SCRUTINY AND REGULATORY OVERSIGHT as pest control products.
The Pest Control Products Act is INHERENTLY PRECAUTIONARY.
The Wisdom of Petelle
Precautionary Principle
Certain groups call for restrictions on the use of pest control products based on the PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE, but what they fail to recognize is that THE PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE IS THE FOUNDATION FOR CANADA’S REGULATORY SYSTEM.
The primary objective of the Pest Control Products Act ( PCPA ) is …
… to prevent unacceptable risks to people and the environment from the use of pest control products.
The Pest Control Products Act is INHERENTLY PRECAUTIONARY with its required pre-market assessments and prevention of unacceptable risks.
The Pest Control Products Act also APPLIES A PRECAUTIONARY APPROACH by requiring that all currently registered products undergo periodic re-evaluations to ensure they continue to meet modern scientific standards.

Quebec PROHIBITION
Take Quebec, for example.
After nearly a decade of FALSELY CLAIMING that products containing 2,4-D are dangerous and denying its residents the ability to use such products, the Quebec government took a major step in 2011 by conceding that …
… products containing 2,4-D DO NOT POSE AN UNACCEPTABLE RISK to human health or the environment.
While this statement marks an important step forward in recognizing the safety of 2,4-D, the province continues to restrict access to these products for home-owners to protect their properties.

The Wisdom of Petelle
Exempted Products
Some argue that the reason for PROHIBITION is that the products are unnecessary.
If that were in fact the case, it is difficult to understand why every PROHIBITION in the country contains a list of EXEMPTED PRODUCTS.
If they were truly unnecessary, would not ALL pest control products be PROHIBITED for those uses ?

The Wisdom of Petelle
Green Alternative Pesticides
Some groups who advocate for restrictions on so called « cosmetic » pesticides point to « natural » products as an alternative.
However, Health Canada recognizes that « natural » does not equal safe and, as a result, all pest control products ― regardless of whether they are natural or synthetic ― are subject to the regulatory process.

The Public Does Not Want Pesticide Bans
One need only look at Ontario to see the negative impacts of PROHIBITION.
Recent POLLING shows that just two years after the implementation of PROHIBITION, many home-owners are UNHAPPY with it, citing more weeds and insects in their lawns and gardens and a lack of available effective tools to control them.
And a simple observation of the Public Green Spaces and Parks in the province shows the STATE OF DISREPAIR brought on by PROHIBITION.
[ In other words, Ontario Green Spaces look like GARBAGE DUMPS ! ]

The Benefits of Pest Control Products
Pest control products HELP PROTECT PRIVATE AND PUBLIC PROPERTIES from insect, weed and disease infestations, and control threats to human health, like rats and mosquitoes.
Pest control products also help ensure that Canadians have A SAFE AND AFFORDABLE SUPPLY OF FOOD.
The benefits of well-maintained urban green spaces should not be underestimated.
These spaces help produce oxygen and capture carbon and urban pollution, among other things.
In fact, one average-sized lawn produces enough oxygen for a family of four.
Clearly, there is a need for these federally-approved tools.

The Wisdom of Petelle
Ignoring Scientific Evidence
IMPORTANT PUBLIC POLICY DECISIONS should be BASED ON SOUND SCIENCE.
Even with HIGH GOVERNMENT STANDARDS in place, provinces and municipalities across Canada continue to UNDERMINE HEALTH CANADA’S WORK by IMPOSING ARBITRARY BANS on these FEDERALLY-APPROVED products.
Unfortunately, in the case of pest control products used in the Urban Landscape, some provinces across Canada have chosen to IGNORE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE demonstrating the safety of these products.
[ Several jurisdictions across Canada have IMPOSED PROHIBITION against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape. ]
The result has been that many home-owners no longer have access to safe and effective weed, insect, and disease control tools.
The ability to use these tools SHOULD NOT BE LIMITED based on UNSCIENTIFIC ARGUMENTS.

CRITICAL ISSUES
Critical Issue
1. Pest Control Products Are Scientifically Safe
The Professional Lawn Care Industry MUST STRONGLY ADOPT THE POSITION THAT CONVENTIONAL PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS ARE SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE AND CAUSE NO HARM.
Furthermore, the Professional Lawn Care Industry MUST ADVOCATE that using its services is SAFER than Do-It-Yourself-Home-Owners who must store PESTICIDE CONCENTRATES in the home within reach of children.
Critical Issue
2. Fertilizers Do Not Harm The Environment
The Professional Lawn Care Industry MUST ALSO ADOPT THE POLICY that its use of ANY FERTILIZERS DOES NOT HARM THE ENVIRONMENT.
FERTILIZER TERROR – ANTI-FERTILIZER PROHIBITIONS AND FEES & TAXES ( Web-Page )
Critical Issue
3. No Prohibitions Against Pest Control Products
The Professional Lawn Care Industry MUST OPPOSE ALL FORMS OF PROHIBITION AGAINST PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS USED IN THE URBAN LANDSCAPE.
It must OPPOSE even PROHIBITION on PUBLIC PROPERTY since this is a FIRST STEP towards TOTAL PROHIBITION.
Pest control products used in the Urban Landscape are SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE and CAUSE NO HARM to people and environment.
Critical Issue
4. No Prohibitions Against Fertilizers
The Professional Lawn Care Industry MUST ALSO OPPOSE ALL FORMS OF PROHIBITION AGAINST FERTILIZERS, INCLUDING PHOSPHORUS.
Turf fertilizers are NOT a major source of water pollution.
FERTILIZER TERROR – ANTI-FERTILIZER PROHIBITIONS AND FEES & TAXES ( Web-Page )
Critical Issue
5. No Negotiation With Terrorists
The Professional Lawn Care Industry MUST CEASE ATTEMPTING TO EDUCATE AND NEGOTIATE with Anti-Pesticide Enviro-Lunatic Government Officials and Activists.
They are to be considered ENEMIES of the industry. Anti-Pesticide-Lunatics WILL NEVER reverse their attitudes AGAINST pest control products. NO ONE MUST NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS, either environmental or political.
Critical Issue
6. Sue The Basterds’ Brains Out
The Professional Lawn Care Industry MUST LAUNCH LITIGATION against those Anti-Pesticide Anti-Fertilizer Enviro-Lunatic Government Officials and Activists who have CONSPIRED TO PROHIBIT PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS.
Professional Lawn Care businesses SHOULD SEEK DAMAGES since they will be NO LONGER able to reproduce the business results obtained prior to PROHIBITION, and the VALUE of their businesses will have been DESTROYED.
In ALL jurisdictions where PROHIBITION has been IMPOSED, Professional Lawn Care businesses MUST DEMAND COMPENSATION FROM GOVERNMENT since PROHIBITION will have created LOSS OF REVENUES, BUSINESS FAILURES, BANKRUPTCY, and UNEMPLOYMENT.
See later segment entitled No Recourse But Litigation ― SUE THEIR BRAINS OUT !
Critical Issue
7. Rescind All Current Prohibitions
The Professional Lawn Care Industry MUST DEMAND THAT ALL PROHIBITIONS pertaining to the use of pest control product in the Urban Landscape BE RESCINDED in ALL PROVINCIAL AND MUNICIPAL JURISDICTIONS.
Critical Issue
8. No Exception Status For Anybody
In those jurisdictions that REFUSE TO RESCIND or IMPOSE PROHIBITION, the Professional Lawn Care Industry MUST DEMAND THAT ALL EXCEPTIONS TO PROHIBITION BE RESCINDED.
If PROHIBITION is IMPOSED against the Professional Lawn Care Industry, then ALL conventional pest control products MUST BE PROHIBITED from uses like agriculture, forestry, golf, mosquito control, nursery, rose gardens, sod production, and sports fields.
These industries employ the VERY SAME INGREDIENTS that are used to control damaging pests in routine turfgrass maintenance.
Critical Issue
9. Get Rid Of Idiotic Anti-Pesticide Trade Associations
ALL Professional Lawn Care businesses MUST RESIGN THEIR MEMBERSHIPS from ALL Trade Associations that have SUPPORTED the NEEDLESS, SENSELESS, and MALICIOUS PROHIBITION against pest control products.

Critical Issue
16. Provide Political Support
The Professional Lawn Care Industry MUST OPENLY AND FINANCIALLY SUPPORT ALL POLITICAL CANDIDATES WHO OPPOSE ANY PROHIBITION of pest control products and fertilizers.
If the Professional Lawn Care Industry wants to EXERT INFLUENCE on Elected Government Officials, it MUST OPENLY AND FINANCIALLY SUPPORT ALL POLITICAL CANDIDATES who oppose ANY Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION.
Forget about EDUCATING and CONVINCING Elected Government Officials.
GIVE THEM MONEY AND GIVE THEM SUPPORT during the next General Election.

No Recourse But Litigation ― SUE THEIR BRAINS OUT !
The Professional Lawn Care Industry MUST STRIKE BACK with LITIGATION against its ENEMIES who are Anti-Pesticide Anti-Fertilizer Environmental-Terrorists.
These lunatics COULD NOT CARE LESS about SCIENCE-BASED EVIDENCE.
THEY HATE AND DESPISE THE PROFESSIONAL LAWN CARE INDUSTRY, and WILL DESTROY IT AT ANY COST.
The Professional Lawn Care Industry MUST ADOPT THE POLICY that the ONLY COURSE OF ACTION AGAINST PROHIBITION IS THROUGH LITIGATION.
When criminal charges for FRAUD and CONSPIRACY are laid against Anti-Pesticide Government Officials and Activists, legal experts say that there is sufficient information to lead to a SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTION !
Whenever Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION is IMPOSED, the Professional Lawn Care Industry MUST LAUNCH LITIGATION against those Government Officials and Activists who CONSPIRED TO PROHIBIT PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS.
The Professional Lawn Care Industry Must STOP Being IN DANGER From Anti-Pesticide Lunatics.
It Must Become THE DANGER Against the Lunatics.
SUE THEIR BRAINS OUT !
When Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION is IMPOSED, businesses operating in the Professional Lawn Care Industry MUST SEEK DAMAGES since they will be NO LONGER able to reproduce the results obtained prior to PROHIBITION, and the VALUE of their operations will have been DESTROYED.
When Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION is IMPOSED, businesses operating in the Professional Lawn Care Industry MUST DEMAND COMPENSATION FROM GOVERNMENT since PROHIBITION will have created LOSS OF REVENUES, BUSINESS FAILURES, BANKRUPTCY, and UNEMPLOYMENT.
To support LITIGATION, NORAHG manages a VAST ARCHIVE of DOCUMENTS, AUDIO CLIPS, and VIDEOS on ALL SUBVERSIVE ANTI-PESTICIDE CONSPIRACIES, including those perpetrated in Manitoba.
The purpose of this archive is to provide information that will lead to a successful LITIGATION against Anti-Pesticide Government Officials and Activists in Manitoba.
The NORAHG archive is AVAILABLE to anyone interested in LITIGATION.
When criminal charges for FRAUD and CONSPIRACY are laid, legal experts say that there is sufficient information to lead to a SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTION !
NORAHG is the National Organization Responding Against HUJE that seek to harm the Green space industry.
Communities and businesses are being HARMED by PROHIBITIONS against the use of pest control products in the Urban Landscape.
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 pledges to deliver reports that are worthy of peoples’ time and of peoples’ concern, reports that might ordinarily never have breached the parapet.
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.
