Overview
History Of Prohibition In Quebec
In the period of 2003 to 2006, the Province of Quebec became the FIRST PROVINCIAL JURISDICTION to IMPOSE PROHIBITION against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape.
Quebec VALIDATED ITS PROHIBITION under the FALSE-PRETEXT that weed control products containing the ingredient 2,4-D were POSSIBLY carcinogenic. [ ?!?! ]
However, it is a little-known fact that Quebec NEVER IMPOSED A TOTAL PROHIBITION AGAINST ALL PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS, and continued to ALLOW several conventional products, until municipalities like Lac-Beauport in 2016 PROHIBITED ALL OF THE REMAINING PRODUCTS.
Those products that were GRANTED AN EXCEPTION STATUS included Acclaim Herbicide, Betasan Herbicide, Deltagard Insecticide, Dicamba Herbicide, Dimension Herbicide, Imidacloprid Insecticide, and Spinosad Insecticide.
Unlike provinces like Ontario and elsewhere, QUEBEC WAS NEVER TRULY PESTICIDE-FREE !
In 2009, in, Dow AgroSciences CHALLENGED Quebec’s PROHIBITION by INITIATING A LEGAL CHALLENGE against the Canadian federal government under the provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ).
The North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, is an agreement signed by the governments of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, creating a tri-lateral trade block in North America.
On May 25th, 2011, Dow AgroSciences, the manufacturer of the ingredient 2,4-D, SETTLED THE NAFTA CHALLENGE CASE with the Government of Canada.
As part of the SETTLEMENT, a VICTORY for Dow AgroSciences, the Government of Quebec was HUMILIATED into making a STATEMENT saying that …
2,4-D DOES NOT POSE AN UNACCEPTABLE RISK to human health or the environment.
In other words, Quebec COULD NOT VALIDATE ITS PROHIBITION on the basis that ingredients like 2,4-D were POSSIBLY carcinogenic.
In fact, ABSOLUTELY NO regulatory body in the world classifies 2,4-D as a human carcinogen ― 2,4-D is probably the MOST STUDIED and BEST UNDERSTOOD of ANY chemical ― not just pesticide ― in existence.
2,4-D DOES NOT POSE AN UNACCEPTABLE RISK to human health or the environment.
Overall, pest control products used in the Urban Landscape are SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE, and WILL NOT CAUSE HARM to people and the environment.
QUEBEC SETTLEMENT OF THE NAFTA CHALLENGE CASE ― REPORTS
QUEBEC SETTLEMENT — DOW AGROSCIENCES AGREEMENT, ACCORDING TO HOWARD MAINS ( Report )
QUEBEC SETTLEMENT — ACKNOWLEDGING 2,4-D IS SAFE, ACCORDING TO ROB BREAKENRIDGE ( Report )

Prohibition Imposed By Lac-Beauport
Fanatical And Abusive Prohibition Against Pest Control Products AND Fertilizers Challenged In Lac-Beauport
The PROHIBITION adopted by Lac-Beauport in January 2016 to PROHIBIT THE USE OF PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS AND FERTILIZERS ― IS NOT MAKING EVERYONE HAPPY.
Lac-Beauport is a town located in the Quebec City region, with a population of over 7200 people.
The Quebec Association of Ornamental Horticulture Services ( QAOHS l ASHOQ ) DENOUNCED the PROHIBITION it considers « ABUSIVE ».
Under the Lac-Beauport PROHIBITION, residents CANNOT APPLY EITHER FERTILIZER OR PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS on their lawns, EXCEPT under certain conditions and only after obtaining a PERMIT.
In order to IMPOSE this ARBITRARY PROHIBITION, Lac-Beauport has used the PRETEXTS that water-ways and the health of citizens in its territory NEED TO BE SOMEHOW PROTECTED. [ ?!?! ]
Mr Philippe Caissie, of the Quebec Association of Ornamental Horticulture Services ( QAOHS l ASHOQ ), believes that this PROHIBITION WILL BE DIFFICULT TO FOLLOW.
« All products that are PROHIBITED are available over the counter at the local hardware store. So we think that people will maintain their lawns themselves. There is a real risk that some people would be in breach without even knowing it. »
« For us, this is a major problem, for sure », according Mr Philippe Caissie, President of the Quebec Association Of Ornamental Horticulture Services ( QAOHS l ASHOQ ), a trade association that was founded by Mr William H Gathercole and others.
A « reasonable » use of PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS is desirable, Mr Caissie said.
« The lawn needs certain nutrients. In recent years, businesses have the option to use the products without phosphorus or phosphate. And lawns are not provided phosphorus in large quantities, » said Mr Caissie.

Prohibition Imposed By Lac-Beauport
Fanatical Mayor Persists And Signs Off On Prohibition
The FANATICAL-MAYOR of Lac-Beauport is MOCK-SURPRISED [ ?!?! ] by the OPPOSITION from the Quebec Association Of Ornamental Horticulture Services ( QAOHS l ASHOQ ). [ ?!?! ]
QAOHS l ASHOQ lawn care businesses were consulted to develop the PROHIBITION, the FANATICAL-MAYOR said. [ REALLY ?!?! ]
The FANATICAL-MAYOR Louise Brunet remains convinced that whatever quantity is used, there is AN [ IMAGINARY ] RISK to the health of Lake Beauport. [ ?!?! ]
[ NOTE ― Government officials at Lac-Beauport have NO background, NO education, and NO valid experience with pest control products ― THEIR OPINIONS ARE ALL WORTHLESS ! ]
According to the FANATICAL-MAYOR ― « These are products that are still dangerous [ ?!?! ] , even if they say that they use very little. PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS are TOTALLY PROHIBITED, but as for FERTILIZERS, we really want to check what they put in their products. »
QAOHS l ASHOQ lawn care businesses will file a petition this evening to the City Council of Lac-Beauport DENOUNCING THE PROHIBITION.
QAOHS l ASHOQ lawn care businesses also want to introduce a MODEL PROHIBITION that would allow certain FERTILIZERS.
The FANATICAL-PROHIBITION in Lac-Beauport does not apply to the gardens or flower beds [ ?!?! ] ― so, it is ARBITRARILY SAFE to touch and hold pesticide-treated flowers and plants, but, it is somehow UNSAFE to play on pesticide-treated lawn. [ REALLY ?!?! ]
While gardening, PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS AND FERTILIZERS should be used more than 15 metres away from a watercourse.
EXCEPTIONS are also provided in the PROHIBITION to get rid of an invasive plant or damaging insects, but a PERMIT must be obtained.

Aperçu
L’histoire de la prohibition au Québec
Dans la période de 2003 à 2006, la province du Québec DEVIENT LA PREMIÈRE PROVINCE À IMPOSER UNE INTERDICTION contre les produits anti-parasitaires utilisés dans le paysage urbain.
Le gouvernement du Québec AVAIT VALIDÉ SON INTERDICTION sous le FAUX-PRETEXTE que les produits contenant l’ingrédient 2,4-D étaient PEUT-ÊTRE CANCÉROGÈNE. [ ?!?! ]
Cependant, il est un fait peu connu que le Québec N’A JAMAIS IMPOSĖ UNE INTERDICTION TOTALE, et a continué à PERMETTRE plusieurs produits conventionnels, jusqu’à ce que des municipalités comme Lac-Beauport, en 2016, ont décidés d’INTERDIRE de façon indépendante TOUS LES AUTRES PRODUITS.
Des exemples de produits qui ont été fournis avec UN STATUT D’EXCEPTION ― Acclaim herbicide, Betasan herbicide, DeltaGard insecticide, Dicamba herbicide, Dimension herbicide, Imidacloprid insecticide, et Spinosad insecticide.
Contrairement aux INTERDICTIONS imposées en Ontario et ailleurs, QUEBEC AVAIT JAMAIS INTERDIT L’ENSEMBLE DE SES PRODUITS ANTI-PARASITAIRES !
En 2009, Dow AgroSciences CONTESTE INTERDICTION du Québec en LANÇANT UNE CONTESTATION JUDICIAIRE contre le gouvernement fédéral canadien en vertu des dispositions de l’Accord de libre-échange nord-américain ( ALENA ).
L’Accord de libre-échange nord-américain, ou l’ALENA, est un accord signé par les gouvernements du Canada, du Mexique et des États-Unis, créant ainsi un bloc tri-latéral du commerce en Amérique du Nord.
Le 25 mai 2011, Dow AgroSciences, le fabricant de l’ingrédient 2,4-D, REGLE LA CONTESTATION JUDICIAIRE avec le gouvernement du Canada.
Dans le cadre du règlement, une VICTOIRE pour Dow AgroSciences, le gouvernement du Québec a subi l’humiliation en étant ordonné de faire une déclaration disant que …
2,4-D NE POSE AUCUN risque inacceptable pour la santé humaine ou l’environnement.
En d’autres termes, le Québec n’a pas pu valider son interdiction en alléguant que des ingrédients tels que le 2,4-D étaient peut-être cancérogène.
En fait, ABSOLUMENT AUCUNE agence gouvernementale dans le monde classe 2,4-D comme cancérogène ― 2,4-D est probablement le plus étudié et mieux compris de tout produit chimique.
2,4-D NE POSE AUCUN RISQUE INACCEPTABLE pour la santé humaine ou l’environnement.
Dans l’ensemble, les produits anti-parasitaires utilisés dans le paysage urbain sont considérés comme SCIENTIFIQUEMENT SĖCURITAIRE, et ils ne NUIRONT PAS À LA POPULATION ET L’ENVIRONNEMENT.

Interdiction imposée par Lac-Beauport
Interdiction fanatique et abusive contre les produits anti-parasitaires ET les engrais est contestée à Lac-Beauport
Le INTERDICTION-FANATIQUE, adopté à Lac-Beauport en janvier 2016 pour INTERDIRE L’UTILISATION DE PRODUIT ANTI-PARASITAIRES ET D’ENGRAIS ― NE FAIT PAS L’AFFAIRE DE TOUS.
Lac-Beauport est une ville située dans la région de Québec, avec une population de plus de 7200 personnes.
L’Association des services en horticulture ornementale du Québec ( ASHOQ ) DÉNONCE l’INTERDICTION-FANATIQUE, qu’elle juge « ABUSIVE ».
En vertu de l’INTERDICTION-FANATIQUE, les résidents NE PEUVENT PLUS ÉPANDRE D’ENGRAIS OU DE PRODUITS ANTI-PARASITAIRES sur leurs pelouses, sauf dans certaines conditions et après avoir obtenu un PERMIS.
Pour IMPOSER l’INTERDICTION ARBITRAIRE, Lac-Beauport a utilisé LE PRÉTEXTE que les ruisseaux, les rivières, et la santé des citoyens sur son territoire SERONT PROTÉGÉS en quelque sorte. [ ?!?! ]
Monsieur Philippe Caissie, de l’Association des services en horticulture ornementale du Québec ( ASHOQ ), croit que INTERDICTION-FANATIQUE sera DIFFICILEMENT APPLICABLE.
« Tous les produits qui sont INTERDITS sont disponibles en vente libre à la quincaillerie du coin. Donc, on pense que les gens vont partir de leur côté pour avoir un gazon bien entretenu. Il y a un risque réel que certaines personnes soient en infraction sans même le savoir. »
« Pour nous c’est un problème majeur, c’est sûr », selon Monsieur Philippe Caissie, président de l’Association des services en horticulture ornementale du Québec ( ASHOQ ), une association commerciale qui a été fondée par Monsieur William H Gathercole et d’autres.
Une utilisation « raisonnable » de produit anti-parasitaires est SOUHAITABLE, selon Monsieur Caissie.
« La pelouse a besoin de certains nutriments. Depuis quelques années, les entreprises [ de l’ASHOQ ] ont la possibilité d’utiliser des produits sans phosphore ou phosphate à l’intérieur. Et la pelouse ne laisse pas passer du phosphore en quantité importante », affirme Monsieur Caissie.

Interdiction imposée par Lac-Beauport
La mairesse-fanatique persiste et signe
La MAIRESSE FANATIQUE du Lac-Beauport se dit [ FAUSSEMENT ] SURPRISE [ ?!?! ] de l’OPPOSITION de l’Association des services en horticulture ornementale du Québec ( ASHOQ ). [ ?!?! ]
Les entreprises de l’ASHOQ qui font de l’entretien de pelouse ont été consultées en vue d’élaborer l’INTERDICTION-FANATIQUE, dit-elle. [ VRAIMENT ?!?! ]
La MAIRESSE-FANATIQUE Louise Brunet demeure convaincue que peu importe la quantité de produits utilisés, ils représentent un RISQUE [ IMAGINAIRE ] pour la santé du Lac-Beauport. [ ?!?! ]
[ NOTE ― Les représentants du gouvernement à Lac-Beauport ne sont pas instruits et possèdent aucune expérience valable avec des produits anti-parasitaires ― LEURS EVALUATIONS SONT TOUS INUTILES ! ]
Selon la MAIRESSE-FANATIQUE ― « Ce sont des produits qui sont quand même nocifs [ ?!?! ] , même s’ils nous disent qu’ils n’en mettent pratiquement pas dans leurs produits. Les produit anti-parasitaires sont CARRÉMENT INTERDIS, mais pour les ENGRAIS, on veut vraiment vérifier ce qu’ils mettent dans leurs produits. »
Les entreprises de l’ASHOQ vont déposer une pétition ce soir au conseil municipal de Lac-Beauport POUR DÉNONCER L’INTERDICTION-FANATIQUE.
Ils souhaitent aussi présenter un INTERDICTION-type pour que certains ENGRAIS soient PERMIS.
L’INTERDICTION-FANATIQUE du Lac-Beauport ne s’applique pas aux jardins ni aux plate-bandes [ ?!?! ] ― ainsi, il est ARBITRAIREMENT SÉCURITAIRE de toucher et porter des fleurs et des plantes traitées aux pesticides, mais, il est en quelque sorte DANGEREUX de jouer sur une pelouse traitées aux pesticides. [ VRAIMENT ?!?! ]
Pour le jardinage, les produit anti-parasitaires ET les engrais devront être utilisés à plus de 15 mètres d’un cours d’eau.
Des EXCEPTIONS sont aussi prévues dans l’INTERDICTION pour se débarrasser d’une plante envahissante ou des insectes nuisibles à condition d’obtenir un PERMIS.

Discover What Anti-Pesticide & Enviro-Lunatic Terrorists Are Doing And Saying About Subversively Imposing Their Life-Style Choices Against Our Society.
Read … Reports, Blogs, & Videos, From Force Of Nature, NORAHG, Pesticide Truths, & Uncle Adolph ― The Whole Truth From An Independent Perspective.
Communities and businesses are being HARMED and DESTROYED and RAPED by LUNATIC-TERRORISTS who ARBITRARILY AND RECKLESSLY IMPOSE PROHIBITIONS against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape and by the Agriculture Industry, and who PERPETRATE OTHER ACTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM.
We are living in the 9|11 Era of Anti Pesticide & Environmental Terrorism where at least ONE SUBVERSIVE ACT OF TERRORISM is perpetrated EVERY SINGLE DAY by LUNATIC-TERRORISTS.
A LUNATIC is a person whose actions and manner are marked by extreme recklessness.
The RECKLESS ACTS OF SUBVERSION by these LUNATIC-TERRORISTS has led to the ARBITRARY IMPOSITION of Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION in several jurisdictions throughout North America.
The result was CATASTROPHIC CARNAGE !
Because of LUNATIC-TERRORISTS, provinces like Ontario now have a TRAIL OF ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION WITH HUNDREDS OF SMALL BUSINESSES DESTROYED and THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT OF WORK, a MORE DANGEROUS OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT, and a BLACK MARKET IN PESTICIDES.
Only TRUE LUNATICS would wish to create a TRAIL OF ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION WITH HUNDREDS OF SMALL BUSINESSES DESTROYED and THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT OF WORK.
Because of LUNATIC-TERRORISTS, 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 will CAUSE NO HARM and can be USED SAFELY.
An informed public is better able to protect itself and its communities and businesses from LUNATIC-TERRORISTS 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 and other industries, 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 LUNATIC-TERRORISTS and their Anti Pesticide PROHIBITIONS, resulting in the CLOSURE or ABANDONMENT of green spaces under the RIDICULOUS PRETEXT CONCOCTED BY LUNATICS 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 PESTICIDE FREE FAILURES, as well as the work of RESPECTED & HIGHLY RATED EXPERTS who promote ENVIRONMENTAL REALISM and PESTICIDE TRUTHS.
NORAHG strikes back against the MYTHS concerning the need for prohibition against pest control products.
NORAHG RESPONDS on behalf of the VAST SILENT MAJORITY of THE PUBLIC THAT DOES NOT WANT PESTICIDE BANS, and SUPPORTS those who work in the Professional Lawn Care Industry, the Golf Industry, and the Agriculture Industry.

NORAHG is opposed to PESTICIDE FREE jurisdictions where LUNATIC-TERRORISTS 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.

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 Reports & Blogs were 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.
Primus inter pares, first among equals, describes Pesticide Truths, Uncle Adolph, and Force Of Nature ― they are formally equal to each other and are all accorded equal respect.
The Reports & Blogs from Pesticide Truths, Uncle Adolph, and Force Of Nature, in some ways, are like Google for everything concerning the SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES of Anti-Pesticide and Enviro-Lunatic Terrorists.
Many of these Reports & Blogs provide a sequence of historical events WITH COMMENTARY, the neutrality of which might be disputed.
This is what we do. Don’t thank us. It’s a public service. And we are glad to do it.
