Anti-Pesticide Lunatic-Activists are, in fact, TERRORISTS use EMOTIONAL ARGUMENT with NO DATA TO BACK UP ANY ASSERTION against pest control products.
They COERCE, INTIMIDATE, and TERRORIZE Government Officials to ARBITRARILY IMPOSE RECKLESS PROHIBITIONS against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape.
NON-EXPERT Anti-Pesticide Activists also CONCOCT the THEORY that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS RESPONSIBLE USE of pest control products.
They also object to using pest control products to have a BEAUTIFUL URBAN LANDSCAPE … but what’s so wrong with that ?
Government Officials need to be clear that ANY PROHIBITION HAS TO BE BASED ON SOUND SCIENTIFIC CONCLUSION.
LEGITIMATE scientific evidence that actually supports PROHIBITION is SCARCE.
What we CAN’T DO, and SHOULD NOT DO, is to push our Government Officials into KNEE-JERK REACTIONS on a « just in case » basis.
When science will confirm that A BEAUTIFUL URBAN LANDSCAPE IS DANGEROUS, then it will be time to act.
Anti-Pesticide Activists keep on LYING, and HEROES continue to SPEAK OUT against them.
Here are the HEROES who SPEAK OUT against Anti-Pesticide Terrorism …

Toronto, Ontario
PROFILE ― BAUMGARTEN
Mr. Glen Baumgarten, BA, CLT, is a Certified Landscape Technician, a licensed Landscape Pesticide Applicator.
He was formally trained in horticulture and arboriculture from the University of Guelph.
He is also Ministry-certified in chainsaw operation and ANSI A300 compliant.
Mr. Baumgarten is a Professional member of the International Society of Arboriculture, and specializes in residential and commercial turf care, tree care, and plant health care.
According to Mr. Baumgarten ―
Of course, to refute the claims by the environmentalists who use emotion to shock, rather than the rationality of the Pest Management Regulatory Agency of Health Canada, those who DO NOT support the pesticide ban are automatically categorized as hard-core planet killers, hell-bent on injuring pets, children, and the environment.
Unfortunately, in Ontario, RADICALISM HAS OVERCOME RATIONALITY again in year two.
It is time to OVERTURN the new pesticide legislation, and replace it with a reasonable alternative which re-introduces certain products for commercial use, while keeping these products off store shelves.

Mr. Steven E. Boultbee is President of Boultbee Vegetation Management in Penticton, British Columbia.
According to Mr. Boutbee ―
Pest control products available in Canada for landscape and garden uses are BIO-DEGRADABLE, SAFE TO USE, AND NONE ARE LISTED AS EITHER CARCINOGENS OR PROBABLE CARCINOGENS by Health Canada or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Pest control products are part of a program to prevent pests and disease in both backyard applications and agriculture.
Depending on the point of view, dandelions may or may not be unsightly.
The issue with this weed is that it REPLACES GRASS, DOES NOT WITHSTAND FOOT TRAFFIC, AND PLASTIC CLEATS CAN SLIP ON ITS SURFACE.
With traffic, the weed dies, CREATING A DANGEROUS HOLE IN THE FIELD.
The use of pest control products PROMOTES SAFETY, ENHANCES APPEARANCE, and REDUCES MAINTENANCE.

Mr. Nigel Bowles is Manager of the Saskatchewan Nursery Landscape Association and Landscape Alberta Trade Association.
Mr. Bowles is among several LEADING EXPERTS who have recognized expertise, training and background on the subject of public policy and pest control products.
In letters to the editor and public forums across Western Canada, Mr. Bowles has EFFECTIVELY AND CONSISTENTLY SPOKEN OUT against activists and anti-pesticide prohibitions on a very frequent basis.
Mr. Bowles SPEAKS THE TRUTH ― and deserves CONGRATULATION.
According to Mr. Bowles ―
We have 350 scientists at the Pest Management Regulatory Agency whose sole job is to ENSURE HUMAN AND ENVIRONMENT SAFETY.
That’s their job.
We do not agree with [ an anti-pesticide ] by-law that has the potential to affect the viability of landscape businesses, to operate, employ skilled people, and meet the needs of their clients.
What concerns us the most are the organizations that ALLEGE to be experts in the science of pesticides.
But, they are advocacy groups, and NOT recognized scientific organizations. [ … ]
These organizations selectively ignore facts, and present cherry-picked reports to support their opinions, and have the luxury of not being held accountable when they publish misleading statements or make allegations.

Mr. Breakenridge has worked in news radio for 15 years, having moved to Calgary in 2003 after a six-year stint at 630/CHED in Edmonton.
Mr. Breakenridge was actually born in Lethbridge, but was raised in Edmonton, before moving to the Calgary area with his wife and two children.
According to Mr. Breakenridge ―
Proponents of a [ pesticide ] ban speak ominously about chemicals, and invoke the precautionary principle, but NEVER SEEM TO OFFER ANY HARD SCIENCE to justify a ban on 2,4-D.
… THE SCIENTIFIC EMPTINESS OF THE ANTI-PESTICIDE POSITION was exposed in the settlement of a North America Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ) trade dispute involving Quebec and the US-based maker of 2, 4-D.
Quebec BANNED the product, CLAIMING, in part, that it was a CARCINOGEN.
But now in this settlement, Quebec ACKNOWLEDGES that the pesticide DOES NOT POSE A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO HUMAN HEALTH OR THE ENVIRONMENT.
Yet, strangely, the BAN remains.
Quebec is at least ACKNOWLEDGING what the science has found.
In 2008, a SWEEPING REVIEW of 2,4-D by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency CONFIRMED exactly what Quebec has now admitted.
Moreover, that conclusion was BACKED UP by an INDEPENDENT SCIENCE ADVISORY PANEL comprised of government and university expert in toxicology, epidemiology and biology.

Mr. Chorney is a producer from East Selkirk, Manitoba.
Cereal, oilseed and forage seed crops make up most of the 1500 acres on his farm, however, Mr. Chorney also grows and sells fresh vegetables right off the farm.
Mr. Chorney has served as Chair of the Workplace And Employment Committee and the Rural Development And Land Use Committee.
Mr. Chorney believes that new opportunities for producers to be part of the energy economy will help drive farm profitability in the future.
Mr. Chorney holds a Degree in Agricultural Engineering from the University of Manitoba, and had worked in the resource and aerospace industries prior to coming back to the family farm full-time 17 years ago.
Keystone Agricultural Producers is a democratically-controlled general farm lobby organization which represents and promotes the interests of agriculture and agricultural producers in Manitoba.
Keystone Agricultural Producers is a grass-roots organization wholly run and funded by its members, with all policy set by producers throughout Manitoba.
According to Mr. Chorney ―
The reality is PESTICIDES are one of the MOST REGULATED PRODUCTS you will ever come across.
Before any pesticide can be sold in Canada, it must undergo an EXHAUSTIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE SCIENTIFIC REVIEW AND SAFETY ASSESSMENT by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency, which is mandated to ensure the protection of human health and the environment.
Recognizing the need to continue to lead in the protection of human health, the federal government reviewed and updated pesticide legislation in 2006, providing Canadians with THE STRONGEST PROTECTION on a global scale.
Specifically, pesticides undergo more than 200 separate tests addressing every possible health and environmental issue imaginable.
Virtually NO OTHER PRODUCT you will ever purchase has been subject to the same level of scientific scrutiny and regulatory oversight as pesticides.

PROFILE ― CHUDLEIGH
Mr. Ted Chudleigh is a Conservative Member of Provincial Parliament ( MPP ) representing the provincial riding of Halton in Ontario.
On May 8th, 2012, Halton Member of Provincial Parliament ( MPP ) Ted Chudleigh introduced his Private Members Bill, Pesticides Amendment Act ( Licence for Cosmetic Purposes ), 2012, which will AMEND THE LIBERAL BAN ON PESTICIDES.
The Bill would have AMENDED the Pesticides Act by allowing individuals to hire a LICENCED operator to apply pesticides to their lawns and gardens to kill noxious weeds and pests.
According to Mr. Chudleigh ―
The [ Dalton ] McGuinty PESTICIDE BAN has TAKEN AWAY THE ABILITY of people to SAFEGUARD THEMSELVES AGAINST NOXIOUS WEEDS AND DISEASE-CARRYING INSECTS.
As a result, ONTARIO NOW HAS A MORE DANGEROUS OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT, a BLACK MARKET IN PESTICIDES, and a TRAIL OF ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION WITH HUNDREDS OF SMALL BUSINESSES DESTROYED and THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT OF WORK.

According to Ms. Doherty ―
Pest control products are NOT cosmetic.
They are applied to help PROTECT OUR LANDSCAPES from the damage caused by insects, weeds, and disease.
Insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides are used very selectively, and only when necessary to PROTECT THE HEALTH of our lawns, trees and ornamentals in our Urban Landscapes.
First and foremost, pest control products are NOT USED PRIMARILY FOR AESTHETIC REASONS.
They are tools that help to ENSURE A HEALTHY LANDSCAPE.
The use of pest control products PROTECTS OUR LANDSCAPES as VALUABLE ECOLOGICALLY IMPORTANT AREAS.

According to Nanaimo Daily News ―
More than ever, policy-makers need to be clear that banning this or that HAS TO BE BASED ON SOUND SCIENTIFIC CONCLUSION.
A blanket ban on cosmetic pesticides has to follow from strict scientific findings, but the problem is that SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE FOR SUCH A BLANKET BAN IS SCARCE.
In British Columbia, the New Democratic Party had a Private Member’s Bill in the legislature calling for just such a ban … even though THE SCIENCE IS INCONCLUSIVE on the harm from such products collectively.
It’s TOO EASY TO TAKE LEGITIMATE CONCERNS about certain toxins that have been abused in the past and linked with health problems and then spin an issue into an emotional one that provokes the populace, removing it from the hands of those with the best knowledge in that area.
There are any number of areas where PEOPLE ARE DRIVEN MORE BY EMOTION THAN FACTS in calls for bans ― smart meters, cell-phone towers and Wi-Fi in schools ― they qualify as just such issues that people are passionate about in the face of a lack of solid scientific conclusions.
Even the use of cell-phones is considered by some to be a risk to health.
Opposition to the seal hunt, a solid economic part of East Coast life for many years, is also similarly DRIVEN BY SENTIMENT when we know that seal populations are increasing.
According to Toronto Sun ―
As we all know, GOVERNMENTS DON’T WANT PEOPLE TO SMOKE CIGARETTES, without doubt, a wise view.
And yet, while they have bombarded cigarette packages with disturbing pictures of rotting teeth, oral cancer, mouth sores and people breathing through tubes, THEY HAVE NOT BANNED CIGARETTES.
As the Ontario government has, for example, LAWN PESTICIDES.
Yet many of these banned pesticides and herbicides are APPROVED FOR USE BY HEALTH CANADA AND THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION.
They are also ALLOWED FOR USE IN AGRICULTURE.
So, the government’s position is it’s UNSAFE TO WALK ON OR LIE ON GRASS that’s been sprayed with PESTICIDES, but safe to eat the FOOD it’s been treated with.
Cigarettes are NOT BANNED by governments because, for all their health warnings, THEY PROVIDE A LUCRATIVE SOURCE OF TAX REVENUE.

Go to The Pesticide Truths Web-Site ( Archive Of Reports ) …
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 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. http://wp.me/P1jq40-2bo
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 PESTICIDE FREE FAILURES, as well as the work of RESPECTED and HIGHLY RATED EXPERTS who promote ENVIRONMENTAL REALISM and PESTICIDE TRUTHS. http://wp.me/p1jq40-5DD
NORAHG responds on behalf of the VAST SILENT MAJORITY of the public that DOES NOT WANT PESTICIDE BANS, and SUPPORT those who work in the Professional Lawn Care Industry. http://wp.me/P1jq40-2bo
NORAHG is opposed to Pesticide-Free jurisdictions that have DOOMED children to SUFFER INJURIES since Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION inevitably leads to public and residential green spaces that become DANGEROUS AND PEST-INFESTED GARBAGE DUMPS. http://wp.me/P1jq40-44g http://wp.me/P1jq40-4z3
NORAHG is concerned that, without pest control products, CHILDREN ARE AT HIGHER RISK OF SUFFERING INJURIES with the creation of HAZARDOUS SLIPPING AND TRIPPING CONDITIONS in sports turf. http://wp.me/P1jq40-2ha
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 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. https://pesticidetruths.com/
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.
