CARNAGE In Hamilton, Ontario ― Overview From An Independent Perspective
Arbitrary Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION
NO ONE WANTS TO LIVE IN #@!!% PEST-INFESTED GARBAGE DUMPS !
In 2012, five years after Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION went into effect in the City of Hamilton, WEEDS TOOK OVER most city-owned facilities.
Hamilton is a port city in the Province of Ontario with a population of over 700,000, and its metropolitan area has been listed as the ninth largest in Canada and the third largest in Ontario.
In 2007, Hamilton ARBITRARILY IMPOSED MUNICIPAL PROHIBITION against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape.
In 2009, Ontario also ARBITRARILY IMPOSED PROHIBITION, throughout the entire province.
Ontario’s 2009 PROVINCIAL PROHIBITION was IMPLEMENTED IN DEFIANCE OF OVERWHELMINGLY MASSIVE AND DETAILED ASSESSMENTS performed by Health Canada, whose work was DISCREDITED by fund-raisers and health care workers ( a.k.a. lunatic activists ) who decided to set their own agendas for CONSPIRING to change public policy, and IMPOSING life-style choices, against the use of pest control products.
Without conventional pest control products, public and residential Green Spaces became THIN AND YELLOW, and OVER-RUN WITH WEEDS and INFESTED WITH INSECTS, resulting in the DISMAL DESTRUCTION OF SAFE TURF PLAYING SURFACES and the TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF MATURE TREES.
Without conventional pest control products, it was/is IMPOSSIBLE to control DAMAGING PESTS OF TURF AND ORNAMENTALS.
There were/are NO viable, efficacious, economical, practical and/or low-risk Green Alternatives to replace conventional pest control products.
Green Alternative ( a.k.a. Organic ) Pesticides DID NOT WORK and were BOGUS AND DISMAL FAILURES.

Stunningly Exorbitant Costs Of PROHIBITION
WHO CAN AFFORD THIS #@!!% BAN NONSENSE ?!?!
In Hamilton and in Ontario, ingredients like Glyphosate Herbicide ( Roundup ) were ARBITRARILY PROHIBITED, in DEFIANCE OF THOUSANDS OF STUDIES over several decades reporting that pest control products are SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE, PRACTICALLY-NON-TOXIC, and CAUSE NO HARM.
NO replicated scientifically-valid study has found any human harm from ingredients like Glyphosate Herbicide.
Glyphosate Herbicide was used for line burning and stop field line marking on sports fields.
By 2010, the EXORBITANT COSTS to Hamilton tax-payers was expected to reach 250,000 DOLLARS just to replace the use of Glyphosate Herbicide.

Garbage Dumps Inflicted By PROHIBITION
WHO WANTS TO LIVE IN #@!!% PEST-INFESTED GARBAGE DUMPS ?!?!
By 2012, WEEDS TOOK OVER MOST CITY-OWNED FACILITIES in the City of Hamilton.
PROHIBITION INFLICTED CARNAGE against Hamilton by transforming its public and residential Green Spaces into DANGEROUS PEST-INFESTED GARBAGE DUMPS.
According to Hamilton Councillor Lloyd Ferguson ―
Our community was embarrassing this year.
The sports fields are grossly infested [ with weeds ] now.
Ferguson pointed out that because of PROHIBITION, WEEDS HAVE TOOK OVER MOST CITY-OWNED FACILITIES.
Ferguson also complained that the park at the five-year-old Ancaster Town Square would have to be RE-SODDED because THE WEEDS ARE OUT OF CONTROL.
Craig Murdoch, Director of Environmental Services, said THE NUMBER OF WEEDS IN CITY PARKS HAVE INCREASED FIVE PER CENT EACH YEAR.
In some parks in Hamilton, there is up to a 40 PER CENT WEED TO TURF RATIO.
Additionally, because of the 2009 PROVINCIAL PROHIBITION … DANDELIONS were/are the DOMINANT GROUND COVER … EVERYWHERE in Ontario .. because there were NO viable, efficacious, economical, or low-risk alternatives to replace conventional pest control products.
Ontario became a HAVEN FOR WEEDS !
Consequently, Green Alternative Pesticides like Fiesta Herbicide, or its agricultural iron equivalents, became BOGUS and DISMAL FAILURES ― they DO NOT WORK and they are NOT SAFER and MORE INNOVATIVE products.
There is little debate about the fact that Ontario’s 2009 PROVINCIAL PROHIBITION transformed communities like Hamilton into SHABBIER AND DANGEROUS PEST-INFESTED GARBAGE DUMPS.

Proposals To Rescind PROHIBITION
ARBITRARY PESTICIDE BANS MUST BE RESCINDED !
On June 4th, 2012, members of Hamilton’s Public Works Committee backed a motion to ALLOW PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS TO BE USED BY LICENSED OPERATORS as part of the municipality’s so-called Integrated Pest Management program.
In 2012, Hamilton politicians also threw their support behind Ted Chudleigh’s Private Member’s Bill that was supposed to ease Ontario’s 2009 PROVINCIAL PROHIBITION against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape.
But Chudleigh’s bill went down to defeat May 31st, 2012, at the hands of the Liberal and New Democratic Parties ― both parties function as POLITICAL SHIELDS for Anti-Pesticide and Environmental-Terrorist Organizations.
On June 4th, 2012, members of Hamilton’s Public Works Committee backed Ancaster Councillor Lloyd Ferguson’s motion to ALLOW PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS TO BE USED BY LICENSED OPERATORS as part of the municipality’s Integrated Pest Management program.
Ancaster is a community located within the greater area of the City of Hamilton, Ontario.

Emerald Ash Borer Inflicted By PROHIBITION
PESTICIDE BANS INFLICT UNBEARABLE AND DESTRUCTIVE PEST PROBLEMS AND DISORDERS !
Because of ARBITRARY PROHIBITION, Emerald Ash Borer easily extended its invasion into Hamilton by 2009.
Emerald Ash Borer, Agrilus planipennis, is a wood-boring pest that is HIGHLY DESTRUCTIVE TO ASH TREES.
The CARNAGE against Ash Trees was EXTENSIVE because there are NO valid economical alternatives to replace the prohibited products.
Consequently, municipalities like Hamilton were INCAPABLE of providing adequate control of the Emerald Ash Borer, and were UNABLE to keep their Ash Trees alive.

Polls Show That The Public REJECTS PROHIBITION
THE PUBLIC DOES NOT WANT THIS #@!!% BAN NONSENSE ?!?!
In 2011, an Ontario POLL showed that the public REJECTS PESTICIDE BANS, and MORE THAN HALF of Ontario residents believed that the provincial government DID NOT DO THE RIGHT THING BY IMPOSING AN ARBITRARY PESTICIDE BAN. Ontario residents WOULD RATHER HAVE THE BAN SCRAPPED OR MODIFIED.
In 2011, a BC POLL conducted by Canadian Consumer Specialty Products Association ( CCSPA ) showed that the VAST MAJORITY of residents are OPPOSED to a PROPOSED PROHIBITION against the use conventional pest control products, and they actually FAVOUR the continued use of these products around their homes and in public green spaces.
In February 2013, Canadian Association Of Agri-Retailers ( CAAR ) said there is QUESTIONABLE PUBLIC SUPPORT for PROHIBITION against the use of pest control products.
In February 2013, a POLL conducted by Winnipeg Free Press showed that 60 PER CENT OF THE PUBLIC WERE OPPOSED TO PROHIBITION.
In Fall 2012, Professional Lawn Care businesses and clients sent to Manitoba Government Officials the results of a PETITION with 2,500 POST-CARDS OPPOSING A PROPOSED PROHIBITION, which was OVERWHELMING OPPOSITION to Anti-Pesticide Activists who had a MERE 1,000 signatures supporting PROHIBITION, with most signatures ORIGINATING FROM OUTSIDE MANITOBA.
The ONLY people who want PESTICIDE BANS are a SMALL GROUP of Anti-Pesticide Lunatics with VESTED INTERESTS IN CONCOCTING IMAGINARY DANGER against pest control products.
Anti-Pesticide POLLS paid for by lunatics in order to validate PROHIBITION appear to have been conducted by DRUNKEN IRRESPONSIBLE DEAD-BEATS.
In 2011, one of the principal organizers of the Anti-Pesticide POLLS for Canadian Cancer Society was charged with ● impaired operation of a vehicle with « a deadly blood alcohol level » ● failing a breath test ● failing to remain at the scene of an accident.
There is a growing body of evidence that Anti-Pesticide POLLS have NO VALIDITY WHATSOEVER.
Anti-Pesticide Lunatics are PUSHING PROHIBITION WITHOUT ANY VALID POLLS.

FAILURE Of PROHIBITION
PESTICIDE BANS LEAD TO GARBAGE DUMPS
Ontario’s Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION has been CAUSING HEADACHES for municipalities like Hamilton.
A problem every home-owner and city can relate to.
BECAUSE OF ANTI-PESTICIDE PROHIBITION, within a decade, Hamilton’s parks and sports fields will be nearly 100 PER CENT COVERED IN WEEDS, WITH BARE GROUND, AND RUTTED SURFACES.
The INFESTATION OF WEEDS in Hamilton parks and sports fields have become more of a concern to Municipal Government Officials after Hamilton ARBITRARILY PROHIBITED against pest control products in 2007, followed by a PROVINCIAL PROHIBITION in 2009.
Hamilton’s Manager Of Parks And Cemeteries, Tennessee Propedo, said that THE WEED INFESTATION IS A GROWING PROBLEM SINCE ONTARIO BANNED THE USE OF PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS.

Hamilton’s Municipal Government Officials WARNED that sports fields and parks WILL BECOME A LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS IF MORE ISN’T DONE TO CONTROL THE SPREAD OF WEEDS.
Tennessee Propedo, Manager Of Parks And Cemeteries, said if more isn’t done, SPORTS FIELDS WILL BE 98 PER CENT WEEDS IN ANOTHER DECADE.

Bombardment Of Complaints About Weeds
THE PUBLIC DOES NOT WANT THIS #@!!% BAN NONSENSE ?!?!
In 2012, Elected Officials were BOMBARDED WITH COMPLAINTS from residents about the WEEDS THAT HAD INFESTED their neighbourhood parks and sports fields.
Hamilton/Mountain City Councillor Tom Jackson said he was CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE FIELDS at Mohawk Sports Park, which hosts high-level activities, as well as neighbourhood parks, such as Templemead, where local sports associations use them for baseball and soccer.
According to Councillor Jackson ―
There has got to be a standard established.
We got rid of ( the pesticides ), but now THERE IS A NEIGHBOURHOOD PUSH BACK.
We need to pull back a bit.

Stunningly Exorbitant Costs
NO ONE CAN AFFORD THIS #@!!% BAN NONSENSE !
Propedo asked the city to start an aggressive lawn care strategy that could cost upwards of 2,500,000 DOLLARS.
Propedo said to prevent the further deterioration of the city’s parks, councillors would have to invest immediately about 2,740,000 DOLLARS.
That means spending about 7,000 DOLLARS PER SPORTS FIELD on maintenance.
Currently, the city spends about 3,500 dollars for Class A fields, such as Mohawk Sports Park, 2,700 dollars for Class B fields, 1,600 dollars on a Class C field, and $1,500 for parks with a baseball diamond.
According to Propedo ―
The only way to address it is MORE FUNDING.
We are doing the bare minimum.
Gerry Davis, General Manager Of Public Works, said the parks maintenance budget wasn’t a priority for the department this year because there were other more pressing needs.
According to Davis ―
We had so many challenges this year [ 2013 ].
We will bring it forward in 2014.
Hamilton City Councillors recently approved the city’s budget, including a four per cent increase for public works.

Loss Of Economic Benefits
PESTICIDE BANS HAVE CREATED A TRAIL OF ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION
Hamilton’s Manager Of Parks And Cemeteries, Tennessee Propedo, said without the proper funding and resources to maintain the city’s parks and sports fields, Hamilton’s economic benefits from hosting sporting events COULD BE PUT INTO JEOPARDY.
Propedo said with Hamilton hosting the soccer events for the Pan Am Games in 2015, there is a possibility the province will allow the city to better maintain its sports fields while the world is watching.
In 2012, Propedo said the city earned about 15 million dollars from holding about 160 sporting events that use sports fields.
Propedo’s figure does not include the RBC Canadian Open Golf Championship hosted by Hamilton in 2012.
Under Ontario’s 2009 PROVINCIAL PROHIBITION, golf courses were exempt because of the negative economic impact the industry would suffer.
Members of the public works committee requested a report outlining the financial resources needed to properly maintain the city’s parks prior to the 2014 budget discussions.

IPM Was FUTILE And INEFFECTIVE
IPM IS A DISMAL FAILURE
Despite implementing a so-called Integrated Pest Management ( IPM ) program, the state of the Hamilton’s 549 parks and sports fields have SYSTEMICALLY DETERIORATED to the point where, today, anywhere from 45 PER CENT TO 60 PER CENT WEEDS COVER THE AVERAGE PARK.
Hamilton’s 2003 Integrated Pest Management practices were adopted by Municipal Government Officials who naively anticipating that it would somehow no longer need to use pest control products. [ WRONG ! ]
IPM involves using biological and cultural controls, forecasting, sampling and establishing thresholds for pests and weeds.
Hamilton’s Integrated Pest Management program to maintain parks and sports fields was FUTILE AND INEFFECTIVE against invasive weed pests.
Hamilton applied up to two fertilizer applications, one over-seeding, two aerations, and one top-dress.
Hamilton’s Manager Of Parks And Cemeteries, Tennessee Propedo, said Hamilton should be applying four fertilizing applications, three over-seedings, four aerations, and three top-dress applications annually.
Although all of these practices would be beneficial for turfgrass growth, they would still be FUTILE AND INEFFECTIVE against invasive weed pests.
And they would have NO REAL EFFECT against damaging insect pests.

Hamilton’s Manager Of Parks And Cemeteries, Tennessee Propedo, said the Sports Turf Association, which he is a member, has been LOBBYING THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT TO ALLOW MUNICIPALITIES TO USE PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS UNDER A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT USING ONLY A LICENSED APPLICATOR.
In jurisdictions outside of Ontario, such as British Columbia, MUNICIPALITIES ARE ALLOWED TO USE PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS ON A LIMITED BASIS, BUT ONLY FROM A LICENSED APPLICATOR.

Background Information From An Independent Perspective
Integrated Pest Management ( IPM ) is a DISMAL FAILURE
IPM is promoted by people who FALSELY ALLEGE SUCCESS, and who are likely CONCOCTING LIES, MISCONCEPTIONS, and DECEPTIONS for their own nefarious personal interests.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for maintenance professionals to keep their properties playable and/or beautiful by using IPM.
In agriculture, IPM is a pest control strategy that uses a variety of complementary strategies including ― mechanical devices, physical devices, genetic, biological, cultural management, and chemical management.
For several decades, IPM has been BASTERDIZED into many versions in order to suit the needs Anti-Pesticide Activists, Educators, and others.
The Anti-Pesticide-Version of IPM DEMANDS the ELIMINATION of the use of conventional pest control products while at the same time managing pest populations at an acceptable level.
Unfortunately, IPM has been designed to be applicable to the Agriculture Industry, and NOT the Green Space Maintenance Industry.
Overall, Integrated Pest Management is a DISMAL FAILURE AND A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY for municipalities like Hamilton, Ontario.
IPM cultural practices DO NOT CONTROL PESTS of established turf and ornamentals.
Moreover, using IPM ACCOMPLISHES VIRTUALLY NOTHING in terms of resolving the PUBLIC AFFAIRS ISSUES concerning the PROHIBITION of conventional pest control products.
Pesticide-Free IPM will NEVER achieve the level of total reduction or elimi-nation of DESTRUCTIVE PESTS attained by using conventional pest control products.
Wherever Pesticide-Free IPM is entirely relied upon for the maintenance of turf and ornamentals, damaging pests MAY only be slightly suppressed, AT THE EXPENSE OF PLANT GROWTH, PLAYING CONDITIONS, and APPPEARANCE.
In practice, IPM MAY BE MORE USEFUL in providing some LIMITED IMPROVEMENT towards the efficiency and effectiveness of conventional pest control products.
To compensate for the FAILURE OF IPM, maintenance professionals have often embarked on a LUDICROUS effort to reduce the expectations of their customers by promoting LOW-END PLAYING and GARBAGE DUMP CONDITIONS.

NO ONE WANTS THIS #@!!% BAN NONSENSE !
It is IMPOSSIBLE for home-owners or maintenance professionals to keep their properties beautiful by using so-called green alternative pesticides and practices.
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 SAFE TURF PLAYING SURFACES and turning them into GARBAGE DUMPS.
WHO WANTS TO LIVE IN #@!!% PEST-INFESTED GARBAGE DUMPS just because a small group of activists seek to impose needless pesticide bans ?!?!
Can municipalities and home-owners afford THE HARDSHIP AND COST OF THIS #@!!% PESTICIDE BAN NONSENSE ?!?!
NO !
Organic pesticide-free maintenance is promoted by enviro-vermin with UNVERIFIABLE SUCCESS STORIES !
Organic is a DISMAL FAILURE !
Anti-Pesticide Lunatics are PUSHING PROHIBITION WITHOUT ANY VALID POLLS.
Green Alternative Pesticides, as well as Organic Fertilizers, are often owned and distributed by the very same ENVIRO-VERMIN who CONSPIRE TO IMPOSE Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION.
The question of Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION revolves less around health and environment concerns, and more around PRODUCTS AND SERVICES that are sold at STUNNINGLY EXORBITANT COSTS.
When it comes to pesticide bans, municipal officials are thinking twice about banning pesticides by looking at the experience of those jurisdictions that have suffered the hardship and STUNNINGLY EXORBITANT COSTS of this #@!!% NONSENSE !
In fact, there are REAL TRENDS AGAINST PESTICIDE BANS.
The following jurisdictions STOPPED or RESCINDED or LIMITED or OPPOSED Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION, or granted professional lawn care businesses with an EXCEPTION STATUS …
Alberta ( Province ), Altona ( Manitoba ), Ashland ( Oregon ), Beaumont ( Alberta ), British Columbia ( Province ), Calgary ( Alberta ), Campbell River ( British Columbia ), Chicago ( Illinois ), Durango ( Colorado ), Edmonton ( Alberta ), Everett ( Washington ), Guelph ( Ontario ), Guelph-Eramosa ( Ontario ), Kamloops ( British Columbia ), Kelowna ( British Columbia ), Merritt ( British Columbia ), New Brunswick ( Province ), Newfoundland & Labrador ( Province ), Port Alberni ( British Columbia ), Portage La Prairie ( Manitoba ), Quebec ( Prohibition Invalidated When Lawsuit Defeated Ban ), Regina ( Saskatchewan ), Rossland ( British Columbia ), Salmon Arm ( British Columbia ), Scarborough ( Maine ), Saint John’s ( Newfoundland & Labrador ), Steinbach ( Manitoba ), Stuartburn ( Manitoba), Vernon ( British Columbia ), Winkler ( Manitoba ).

DISCOVER WHAT ANTI-PESTICIDE AND ENVIRO-LUNATIC TERRORISTS ARE DOING AND SAYING ABOUT SUBVERSIVELY IMPOSING THEIR LIFE-STYLE CHOICES AGAINST OUR SOCIETY.
Read … Force Of Nature ― The Whole Truth From An Independent Perspective.
Communities and businesses are being HARMED and DESTROYED and RAPED by PROHIBITIONS against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape, and by other ACTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM.
We are living in the 9|11 Era of Anti Pesticide and Environmental Terrorism where at least ONE SUBVERSIVE ACT OF TERROR is perpetrated EVERY SINGLE DAY by these terrorist.
We are living in the DARK AGE OF ANTI PESTICIDE TERRORISM where sound science is trumped by FAKE SCIENTISTS, JUNK SCIENCE and UNVERIFIABLE SECRET EVIDENCE through FABRICATION, INNUENDO, and INTERNET RUMOR ― scientific research PROVES that pest control products CAUSE NO HARM and can be USED SAFELY.
An informed public is better able to protect itself and its communities and businesses from so-called activists who are THE LEAST QUALIFIED TO PROVIDE ANY ADVICE about pest control products or the environment.
NORAHG is the National Organization Responding Against HUJE that seek to harm and destroy the Green space industry, and the well being of our communities.
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 comprehensive 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.
Force Of Nature was launched by NORAHG for CONTINUOUS transmission on the Internet on January 1st, 2009 ― however, the VERY FIRST Stand-Alone FORCE OF NATURE Report was issued on September 19th, 2008.
On January 1st, 2009, Force Of Nature Reports were launched for CONTINUOUS transmission on the Internet ― however, the VERY FIRST Stand-Alone Force Of Nature Report was issued on September 19th, 2008.
On March 15th, 2010, Uncle Adolph independently launched The Pesticide Truths, an easy-to-use Web-Site that collects relevant reports of information right-off-the-press.
Pesticide Truths and Force Of Nature, in some ways, are like Google for everything concerning the SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES of Anti-Pesticide and Enviro-Lunatic Terrorists.
