Background Information – Overview
Ontario’s Prohibitions Against
Pest Control Products
The Infamy
The Ontario Ministry Of The Environment, Conservation, & Parks ( MECP ) is responsible for regulating the sale, use, transportation, storage and disposal of pesticides in Ontario, under the Pesticides Act.
This ministry also legislated the Ontario Cosmetic Pesticides Ban Act, which imposed prohibition against conventional pest control products used in the urban landscape.
These prohibited products cannot be used for so-called cosmetic purposes on lawns, vegetable and ornamental gardens, patios, driveways, cemeteries, as well as in parks and school yards.
On April 22nd, 2009 ― a date which will live in the period of anti-pesticide & environmental infamy ― the full force of the job-killing, business-killing, & green-space-destroying Ontario Cosmetic Pesticides Ban Act ( i.e. prohibition ) was imposed by the province’s Liberal government, which destroyed the professional lawn care industry.
A recent poll regarding Ontario’s prohibition clearly proves that the public and the professional lawn care industry do not want prohibition.
Any prohibition in Ontario is not necessary since pest control products are Health-Canada-approved, federally-legal, scientifically-safe, practically-non-toxic, and will cause no harm.
Because of Ontario’s prohibition, the province is living in anti-pesticide & environmental infamy.
The Amendments
The Ministry Of The Environment, Conservation, & Parks ( MECP ) has proposed amendments concerning the use of pesticides in Ontario, under the Pesticides Act.
Not surprisingly, the provincial cosmetic pesticides ban ( i.e. prohibition ) would not be amended, would be maintained, and would not be rescinded.
Ontario intends to retain the prohibition against conventional pest control products used in the urban landscape, with current exceptions, and will prescribe a single list of allowable pesticides.
The government remains committed to the prohibition because officials believe it prevents an undesirable patch-work of varied municipal bans.
Nonetheless, cemeteries would added to the list of current pesticide ban exception statuses.
Other exception statuses currently include agriculture, playing fields, and golf courses.
Ontario’s fanatжcal-prohibition will continue to be extremely biased and highly prejudicial against the professional lawn care industry.
Ontario intends to harmonize its pesticides classes with the federal government’s existing categories.
This would align Ontario with federal standards to reduce complexity and redundancy.
Pesticides would be classed 1 to 6, with 4 classes as established by Health Canada ― class A ( manufacturing ), class B ( restricted ), class C ( commercial ), and class D ( domestic ).
Ontario intends to maintain the restrictions ( i.e. prohibitions ) on the sale and use of neonicotinoid insecticides ( NNI ).
Ontario will continue to be extremely biased and highly prejudicial ― playing fields and golf courses will continue to enjoy pesticide ban exception statuses for neonicotinoids, but not professional lawn care.
For the use of neonicotinoids by the agriculture industry, a pest assessment report would only need to be completed once by a professional pest advisor, as opposed to being required to be completed every one to three years, depending on the type of inspection forming the basis for the report.
Ontario intends to reduce its demands concerning golf courses, which would no longer be required to present a report on class 9 pesticide use at an annual public meeting.
Furthermore, the need for golf courses to advertise in newspapers and hosting community meetings would be removed from some excepted uses.
The Neonicotinoids
The neonicotinoid-hating Liberal government cherry-picked science and ignored the findings of Health Canada.
According to the preliminary pollinator assessment by Health Canada, neonicotinoids like imidacloprid are minimal risk to bees.
Ontario’s proposed neonicotinoid prohibition was even contradicted by Premier Kathleen Wynne ― there is no bee crisis according to Premier Wynne, who had stated that many bee-keeping operations had NOT been affected and had been able to maintain strong and healthy bee colonies, as evidenced by hive strength and honey production.
In 2014, nearly 100 per cent of corn seed and 60 per cent of soybean seed sold in Ontario was treated with neonicotinoid insecticides.
Ontario’s Liberals falsely alleged that these insecticides are the cause of so-called bee colony collapse disorder ― in fact, bee losses occur because some bee-keepers may be wholly unsuited to be raising bees ― in fact, bee-keepers harm bees, and NOT neonicotinoids !
Nonetheless, on July 1st, 2015 ― yet another date which will live in the period of anti-pesticide & environmental infamy ― prohibition against the sale and use of neonicotinoid-treated seeds in Ontario was imposed and would be phased-in over time.
Ontario’s neonicotinoid prohibition proved to be unnecessary.
On January 5th, 2016, Health Canada and the US Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) released their risk assessments of a neonicotinoid insecticide, imidacloprid, which showed that label directions and rules for foliar and seed treatments of imidacloprid should either prevent or limit the risks to honeybees and other pollinators.
There is NO bee crisis ― regulatory reviews show that there is a slim risk to bees from neonicotinoid insecticides.
Bees are NOT being lost because of the agricultural use of insecticides.
Sadly, with the 2014 Ontario General Election, the incumbent Liberal government was re-elected to power, the proposed neonicotinoid prohibition was reinstated.
There is NO bee crisis with neonicotinoid insecticides.
Why are a few bee-keepers losing their bees ?!?!
The most likely cause of losses are the bee-keepers themselves.
Incompetent bee-keepers are killing their own hives.
And overall, honeybee colonies and production are actually thriving in Canada.
Ontario’s prohibition must be amended or rescinded.
The Trade Associations
Fortunately, the creator of Ontario’s prohibition, Premier Dalton McGuinty, is thankfully gone.
And fortunately, with the 2018 Ontario General Election, the Liberal government was removed, and a Conservative government was elected to power.
Will the new government rescind prohibition in Ontario ?
Unlikely.
Why ?
Trade associations, like Landscape Ontario ( LO ) and Canadian Golf Superintendents Association ( CGSA ) have continuously refused to defend the green space industry, which included golf and professional lawn care.
Inconceivably, leaders at Canadian Golf Superintendents Association ( CGSA ) have actually endorsed the imposition of arbitrary prohibition against pest control products used in the urban landscape … as long as the golf industry is being provided with a pesticide ban exception status.
The CGSA’s 2009-2010 leaders were especially enthusiastic in their support of arbitrary prohibition in provinces like British Columbia.
The black death against the professional lawn care industry was the fault of these leaders !
Also inconceivably, leaders at Landscape Ontario ( LO ) have betrayed the professional lawn care industry by supporting the prohibition of pest control products used in the urban landscape.
Their despicable participation in the prohibition conspiracy has extensively damaged and destroyed the professional lawn care industry, annihilated most of its customers, thus ensuring that thousands of companies becoming worthless and obliterated.
The black death against the professional lawn care industry was the fault of these leaders !
The job-killing & business-killing prohibitions have needlessly destroyed the professional lawn care industry, and the golf industry will be next.
The agriculture industry has also fallen under attack.
Trade associations should have met with elected Members of Provincial Parliament ( MPP ), regardless of party affiliation.
These MPPs should have been informed about catastrophic carnage caused by prohibition.
In order to meet and inform the MPP, trade associations would be expected to donate the maximum amount to the MPP’s party, which is 1,240 dollars in Ontario.
The cost of this donation would be insignificant when compared to the catastrophic business losses inflicted by prohibition.
The Destroyers
Several anti-pesticide & environmental-terrжrist organizations have operated in Ontario to subversively participate, with the Liberal government, in the conspiracy to prohibit against conventional pest control products used in the urban landscape ―
• Canadian Association Of Physicians For The Environment ( CAPE ) • Canadian Broadcasting Corporation ( CBC ) • Canadian Cancer Society ( CCS ) • Canadian Environmental Law Association ( CELA ) • David Suzuki Foundation • Ecojustice Canada • Green Party • Prevent Cancer Now ( PCN ) • Sierra Club • TIDES Canada • World Wildlife Fund ( WWF ) • and dozens and dozens of local organizations & small clubs.
They are The Destroyers Of The Professional Lawn Care Industry.
In Ontario, these organizations have interfered in partisan politics & public policy by conspiring to prohibit against pest control products used in the urban landscape.
The Destroyers have squandered and misappropriated public and government funds in order to support subversive acts of anti-pesticide terrжrism perpetrated by local organizations and small clubs.
They have been The Destroyers of lawn care businesses in Ontario.
Or, they represent severe threats to the green space industry, including golf, as well as the agriculture industry.
The Destroyers do not want any amendments to the Ontario provincial Pesticides Act.
The Business Carnage
The result of this job-killing & business-killing prohibition has been catastrophic carnage.
Ontario’s prohibition has been bad for business, to say the least.
Because of this 2009 provincial prohibition, the professional lawn care industry lost over 500,000,000 dollars, with over 12,500 unemployed and 100s of businesses lost.
The Urban Environment Carnage
The result of this green-space-destroying prohibition has made the Ontario’s urban environment ugly.
Cities like Ottawa and Toronto have become garbage dump green spaces.
Moreover, because of this reckless & arbitrary prohibition, Ontario’s public and private greens spaces became weed-infested and insect-destroyed garbage dumps that were dangerous for children to play on.
Ontario’s parks, school yards, and residential homes, became wholly-infested with dandelions and a variety of other weeds, and there has been no practical way to remove them, other than by totally-ineffective hand-pulling or by replacing the entire lawn with sod.
Sadly, because of Ontario’s prohibition, natural grass is on a path to extinction, and it is being replaced by artificial grass, especially on sports fields.
Moreover, on November 25th, 2014, Ontario’s Liberal government officials proposed a reckless province-wide prohibition against neonicotinoid insecticides desperately-needed by the agriculture industry.

Amendments To The Current Pesticides Act Would Align With
Federal Standards To Reduce Complexity & Redundancy
Ontario Will Retain The Ban On Cosmetic Pesticides With Current
Exceptions & Prescribe A Single List Of Allowable Pesticides
Ontario producers may soon have more stream-lined access to new pesticides.
The Ontario government has proposed AMENDMENTS to the current provincial Pesticides Act.
According to Mr Pierre Petelle, President and CEO of Crop Life Canada ―
Regulatory changes are critical in two areas, reducing the number of classification categories from 12 down to five, aligning with the federal system.
The other component is that it removes a lot of the onerous requirements that were in place around treated seed regulations.
If the [ amended act ] is passed, the government will also DISBAND the Ontario Pesticide Advisory Committee ( OPAC ) which previously advised on the provincial classification system.
According to Mr Petelle, OPAC was …
… an appointed body that was unique in Canada ― an extra step that Ontario had where, even once Pest Management Regulatory Agency approved a pesticide, it had to go through this OPAC process that sometimes caused delays and additional requirements.
[ If the provincial classification was poorly timed or prolonged … ]
… you could miss the application window because [ the pesticide ] wouldn’t be available for sale and use in Ontario.
It was an extra red tape step that you didn’t see in other provinces and had no real benefit.
The alignment of classification systems will allow for pesticides to be brought to market immediately after federal registration.
Any sort of alignment that we see from federal and provincial ( governments ) is a good step in the right direction.
It’ll be much smoother when a federal consultation is done and a product is approved and registered.
There won’t be any question as to which category it falls in in Ontario.
The understanding and expectations will be clear from the beginning.
Under new regulations, farmers would also be able to access NEONICOTINOID-TREATED SEED with a ONE-TIME RISK ASSESSMENT and ONE-TIME COURSE.
This new process will really reduce the burden on farmers on having to justify what they need.
[ Unfortunately, ] ONTARIO WILL RETAIN THE BAN ON COSMETIC PESTICIDES WITH CURRENT EXCEPTIONS AND PRESCRIBE A SINGLE LIST OF ALLOWABLE PESTICIDES.

The General Cosmetic Pesticides Ban Will Be Retained
Ontario’s Classification Of Pesticides Would Be Aligned
With The Federal Government’s Pesticide Categories
Proposal Summary
We are proposing AMENDMENTS to the Pesticides Act and regulation to reduce complexity and modernize pesticide management [ i.e. prohibition ] in Ontario while ensuring human health and the environment continue to be protected.
This proposal is related to proposed amendments to O. Reg. 63/09: General.
Proposal Details
This proposal notice is part of the proposal for the Better for People, Smarter for Business Act.
These proposals would support the objectives of removing duplication, and updating Ontario’s Pesticide Act, first passed in 1990.
To achieve this objective, we are proposing to END Ontario’s duplicative CLASSIFICATION OF PESTICIDES and ALIGN with the federal government’s pesticide categories, as other provinces do.
Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency ( PMRA ), under the authority of the Pest Control Products Act, registers pesticides after completing a rigorous review of scientific studies on potential impacts on human health and the environment.
Health Canada’s PMRA is resourced and equipped to review and register pesticides for all of Canada, something all other provinces have recognized.
Ontario would continue to maintain Ontario’s general regulatory requirements, including licensing and permitting re-aligned to the federal categories.
Consistent with these objectives, the Pesticides Act would be amended to remove the Ontario Pesticide Advisory Committee ( OPAC ).
OPAC’s main role in providing advice to support classification would no longer be needed without a duplicative provincial application and classification process.
THE GENERAL COSMETIC PESTICIDES BAN WILL BE RETAINED, including existing exceptions, but a single list of permitted pesticides would replace the current classes.
This is required as the federal government’s registration process currently DOES NOT restrict the use of pesticides for cosmetic use.
This will require amendments to provide an alternate approach for regulating the cosmetic pesticides ban without the need for classification.
Overview
Ontario’s Pesticides Act and Ontario Regulation 63/09 (General) regulate pesticide use and sale.
This includes restrictions and requirements, such as licensing and permitting, associated with classes of pesticides.
OPAC currently advises on the classification of pesticides, after Health Canada’s PMRA completes its rigorous review of scientific studies on potential impacts on human health and the environment.
The Act and Regulation also include a ban on the use of prescribed cosmetic pesticides, with exceptions.
Ontario Pesticides Advisory Committee ( OPAC )
The Pesticides Act is proposed to be amended to REPEAL PROVISIONS that provide for the Ontario Pesticides Advisory Committee, including its functions and other associated provisions.
This is consistent with eliminating the current upfront classification process before pesticides can be sold or used in Ontario.
The major function of this Committee is to provide advice on classification.
This function would no longer be needed when aligning with the federal categories of pesticides.
The Act is also proposed to be amended by replacing the current cosmetic pesticides ban provisions in support of eliminating the need for a classification process.
Alternative provisions would CONTINUE TO PROHIBIT THE USE OF PESTICIDES FOR COSMETIC PURPOSES and restrict the sale of cosmetic use products unless the Director has determined that the pesticide ( the active ingredient ) is appropriate for use for a cosmetic purpose and listed the active ingredients in a prescribed document.
Pesticides appropriate for a cosmetic use would be listed in a prescribed document.
The Director would use criteria to identify active ingredients to be added to the list.
These criteria would be the same as those currently used ( e.g. naturally occurring, low toxicity ), and are proposed to be prescribed in regulation.
The Act amendments, together with the proposed regulatory amendments would MAINTAIN THE COSMETIC PESTICIDES BAN.
Exceptions to the cosmetic ban would remain in place ( e.g. use on golf courses, agricultural operations, forestry, health and safety and other prescribed exceptions ).
The proposed legislative amendments are only intended to remove the need for classes associated with the ban, and NOT alter the ban itself.
Other minor consequential amendments are also proposed.
Estimated Impacts
There are NO financial impacts to Ontarians associated with this proposal.
The proposed legislation and associated regulatory changes are expected to have positive impacts on commercial users and vendors of pesticides who would be able to bring pesticides to market and access pesticides immediately upon federal registration.
Eliminating Ontario’s classification process would also remove administrative cost and time delays associated with the application and classification process, improving the efficiency in accessing pesticides for sale and use in Ontario.
Positive impacts are also estimated for small businesses and farmers by making pesticides immediately available for sale and use upon federal registration, eliminating the time-lag in pesticides available in Ontario compared to those available in other provinces.
The proposed legislation and regulatory changes are NOT anticipated to have significant environmental impacts.

Ontario Cosmetic Pesticide Ban Update

Ontario Cosmetic Pesticide Ban Update
―――――――――――――――――――――
Licensed [ lawn care ] professionals want regulation tweaked to allow access to new lower-risk [ green alternative ] products. [ ?!?! ]
It’s been almost a decade since Ontario’s controversial cosmetic pesticides ban was put in place, and since then, and November 2018, 92 charges with convictions have been leveled against 37 individuals or companies from the province’s lawn care industry.
From 2013 to 2018, there were an average of 4.5 prosecutions with convictions per year.
That’s not nearly enough, say some. [ ?!?! ]
According to Gavin Dawson, the chair of Landscape Ontario’s Turf Management Sector Group, as well as regional technical manager at TruGreen lawn care business ―
There’s so much more cheating going on, and they know it. [ ?!?! ]
Carnage Inflicted By Horrific & Arbitrary Fines. Ontario has been despicable with its horrific, arbitrary, and stunningly debilitating fines that are, in fact, prejudicial and brutal punishments against businesses that are being victimized for using federally-approved products that are scientifically-safe. From 2009 to 2018, under Ontario’s Liberal government, these debilitating fines have been out-of-proportion with the seriousness of the violation.
Landscape Ontario ( LO ) must defend the lawn care industry, and not condemn it. Inconceivably, LO leaders have betrayed the professional lawn care industry by supporting the prohibition of pest control products used in the urban landscape.
https://pesticidetruths.com/toc/horrific-arbitrary-stunningly-debilitating-fines/
When the provincial-wide ban came into effect in April 2009, it was the toughest pesticide rule book in Canada, outlawing more than 250 products for sale and over 95 ingredients for cosmetic uses on lawns, vegetable and ornamental gardens, patios, driveways, cemeteries, and in parks and school yards.
It also superseded any local municipal pesticides by-laws.
Dawson says TruGreen LOST 50 PER CENT OF ITS BUSINESS DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF THE BAN.
Other similar companies, both large and small, were in similar « absolute free fall » for the next five years, he adds.
Pesticide-Free Business Failures. In all cases, prohibitions against conventional pest control products used in the urban landscape have become DISMAL FAILURES that have led to CATASTROPHIC BUSINESS & FINANCIAL CARNAGE !
https://pesticidetruths.com/toc/carnage-leading-to-business-failures/
According to Dawson ―
Those that survived were probably the larger companies.
The smaller, family-owned companies either divested into other business interests, went under, or perhaps sold their business.
But he and others paying attention also saw — and continue to see — some of those companies and private residential home-owners forging ahead, using the same banned products they always have.
And Dawson understands why.
According to Dawson ―
In some cases, you’re talking about family-owned businesses where it’s either find a way to do business in an impossible environment or go out of business.
So where are they finding these banned products ?
On web-sites like lawnproducts.ca or, as CBC has reported, in places like New York state, where they’re legal and where they’re being brought back across the border.
In other words, this is a complicated issue with much at stake and many different players involved.
At Present, Canadians Can Legally Buy Prohibited Pesticides On-Line Without Violating Federal Law. Residents are being forced to circumvent prohibitions by purchasing from web-sites, a rising trend in Canada. Because of reckless and arbitrary prohibitions against pest control products that are desperately needed to control damaging pests, residents are turning to web-sites in their quest for attractive, pest-free urban landscapes. Currently, residents CAN legally purchase pest control products on-line, or in person, that originate from America. Residents benefit from an exception status with quantity limits that are less than 500 grams or 500 millilitres and are under 100 dollars in value. Authorities CANNOT STOP shipments ordered from web-sites, even if they are foreign and imported. Under the changes proposed by the government, consumers who import products must have them in their personal possession in order to bring them into the country.
When the Ministry of Environment announced the ban in 2009, they said it would « create one clear, transparent and understandable set of rules across the province ».
Ten years later, that clarity still seems illusive.
What’s the problem ?
Critics of the Ontario provincial prohibition say the problem starts with how the government arrived at banning these particular products and ingredients to begin with.
According to Ken Pavely, sales manager at Lawn Life Natural Turf Products and a member of Landscape Ontario’s Turf Management Group ―
Simply put, [ the Ontario provincial prohibition ] was not based on science.
According to Scott Olan, regional pesticides specialist with the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation, and Parks in Eastern Region, writes that they relied on Health Canada guidelines to determine which pesticides would be allowed.
And yet, they didn’t completely rely on those guidelines to determine which pesticides to ban, since some of those banned products still get the okay from Health Canada.
Plus, asks Dawson, if the goal was to improve public health and safety, why do some of the permitted pesticides require more stringent personal protective equipment than some of the banned pesticides ?
And, since there are exceptions to the Ontario provincial prohibition for industries like golf and agriculture, how did the government determine that this regulation would provide the greatest impact on risk reduction ?
According to Dawson ―
We strongly feel that it has actually done the opposite of improving public health and safety.
It’s not understood or respected by the general public, and everyone knows very well that it can’t be properly enforced.
Scott Olan says that the ministry manages its approach to compliance and enforcement through education and outreach, inspections, site visits, response to incidents, voluntary abatement, orders, tickets and prosecutions.
When a provincial officer becomes aware of non-compliance, the officer has a number of tools available to ensure compliance, such as provincial officer’s orders and tickets.
More serious matters are referred to the ministry’s Investigations and Enforcement Branch for possible prosecution.
According to Olan ―
Over the last few years, the ministry has received many COMPLAINTS from licensed lawn care companies who want everyone to follow the same rules.
In all cases of non-compliance, the ministry follows-up to ensure that individuals and companies take appropriate actions to achieve compliance.
Complaints. In other words, businesses have been ratted-out by their competitors, and further destroyed by horrific government fines. Who wants to live in a society where people are ratted-out by anonymous informants, just like Nazi Germany ?
One big reason that enforcement plan is not working, says Dawson, is because it makes it easier to crack down on professional & licensed applicators than fly-by-night & unlicensed companies, or do-it-yourself residential home-owners.
According to Dawson ―
Although unintended, this process of selective enforcement is a form of natural selection and is resulting in an evolution in urban pesticide use, away from licensed professionals and toward an underground market or untrained do-it-yourselfers.
What now ?
The other goal with the Ontario provincial prohibition, at least as it was conveyed to the lawn care industry, was that it would encourage innovation and the development of new [ green alternative ] products.
Again, though, it’s done the opposite, because it’s so stringent.
According to Pavely ―
There’s no provision, for instance, for low-risk synthetic [ green alternative ] products that have been shown to do a good job, that are target-oriented, and that don’t have a detrimental effect on off-target species or the environment.
The framework hasn’t kept up with technology, and is 10 years or more behind the times.
Such rigidity has also created a ripple effect across the country.
According to Dawson ―
Any manufacturer or developer or scientist looking to get a [ green alternative ] product into Canada first looks at Ontario to see if it will be allowed because it’s such a big economy with respect to landscape care.
And if it’s not, they don’t even bring it into the country.
Alternatives Are Not Effective. There are NO low-risk, NO viable, NO efficacious, NO economical alternatives to replace conventional pest control products. There are NO alternatives that work. Green alternative pesticides are bogus and dismal failures. Green alternatives are incorporated into pest control programs ― not because they work ― but because of legislation that imposes reckless and arbitrary prohibition, like the one in Ontario. Professionals, and even residential home-owners, are being prevented from using conventional products that are truly effective as well as scientifically safe. By definition, alternatives are INFERIOR, which is why they DID NOT win the market-place originally. Overall, green alternative pesticides are ineffective, inadequate, inferior, high-risk, more toxic, and stunningly expensive. In many cases, these alternatives are questionably higher in toxicity, and pose higher environmental risks.
https://pesticidetruths.com/toc/green-alternatives-bogus-dismal-failures/
So, what’s to be done about all of this now ?
Scott Olan says there are no specific plans for significant changes to the ministry’s overall approach to identifying non-compliance, let alone to penalties.
As for loosening the regulation to help it « get with the times », Pavely thinks that’s very much up in the air.
According to Dawson ―
But, our point is this : there are new lower-risk [ green alternative ] products out there that aren’t permitted under this regulation that should be.
So, I think it’s incumbent upon this government to tweak the regulation, to put in place a mechanism to allow licensed professional in our industry to have access to those products.
In doing so, Dawson thinks the regulation will actually do what it was meant to : improve public health and safety, and innovation.
According to Dawson ―
If all of this was as serious of a public health threat as the 2009 government claimed it to be, they would have put infrastructure in place to support all of that.
And they simply didn’t.
Unfortunately, There Are No Alternatives That Work. There are NO viable, NO efficacious, NO economical, and NO low-risk alternatives to replace conventional pest control products. Green alternative pesticides are BOGUS AND DISMAL FAILURES.
Gavin Dawson is cautious, too, saying that he’s a realist, and that he is well aware of the attitude the general public has about pesticides — that they are all toxic [ ?!?! ] and that anything that kills anything will kill or harm people, too. [ ?!?! ]

Cemeteries Would Be Added To The Exceptions
To The Cosmetic Pesticide Ban
Other Exceptions Currently Include Use For
Agriculture, Playing Fields, & Golf Courses
Pesticides Would Be Classed 1 To 6, With 4
Classes As Established By Health Canada ―
Class A ( Manufacturing ), Class B ( Restricted ),
Class C ( Commercial ), & Class D ( Domestic )
The Ministry of Environment, Conservation, and Parks ( MECP ) is proposing to « reduce complexity and modernize pesticide management [ i.e. prohibition ] in Ontario ».
On October 28, 2019, the MECP posted a PROPOSAL to the Environmental Registry of Ontario for amendments to Ontario Regulation 63/09 made under the Ontario Pesticides Act.
Importantly, the proposed amendments would ALIGN the Ontario regime with the federal regime by ending the classification of pesticides currently required under the Regulation.
Ontario is the only province that has this duplicative application process.
While the amendments and neonicotinoid provisions are to come into effect on filing, the implementation of some provisions may be staggered over a few months.
The comment period is open until December 12, 2019.
Reducing Duplication
Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency ( PMRA ) is charged with the review and registration of pest control products in Canada, undertaking an assessment of the risks to human health and the environment and confirming the product’s value.
At the provincial level, the MECP is responsible for regulating the sale, use, storage, transportation, and disposal of pesticides in Ontario.
Currently, even though a pest control product has undergone an assessment by the PMRA, pesticides are required to be classified into 1 of 12 categories at the provincial level in Ontario, which can result in a TIME-LAG for pesticides being available in Ontario as compared to those available in other provinces.
The proposed regulatory amendment would see the replacement of Classes 1 to 6 with 4 classes as established by the PMRA ― Class A ( manufacturing ), Class B ( restricted ), Class C ( commercial ), and Class D ( domestic ).
This would eliminate the need for the Ontario Pesticides Advisory Committee, whose primary function has been to provide advice on the classifications of pesticides.
Class 12, which relates to neonicotinoid treated seeds, would be replaced with a separate class of its own, Class E.
Classes 7 to 11, which relate to classes of pesticides associated with the cosmetic ban, would no longer be needed as they would be expressly incorporated into the Regulation.
Licensing and permitting requirements are proposed to be maintained to ensure safe sale and use of pesticides.
Other Notable Changes
Other notable proposed changes include ―
• Classification of new active ingredients in pesticides would no longer be required to be posted to the Environmental Registry.
• While the restrictions on the use of neonicotinoid-treated seed are to remain in place, which caused significant concern when they were first introduced, a PEST ASSESSMENT REPORT WOULD ONLY NEED TO BE COMPLETED ONCE by a professional pest advisor, as opposed to being required to be completed every one to three years, depending on the type of inspection forming the basis for the report.
• Those selling treated seeds would no longer be required to retain copies of the farmer’s pest assessment report and Integrated Pest Management declarations, nor would they need to submit annual sales data reports, a list of the Class 12 ( proposed Class E ) pesticides for sale or copies of the reports received from farmers.
• CEMETERIES would be added to the exceptions to the cosmetic pesticide ban ( other exceptions include use for agriculture, playing fields and golf courses, which will remain ).

Proposal Summary
We [ the government of Ontario ] are PROPOSING AMENDMENTS to O. Reg. 63/09: General made under the Pesticides Act to reduce complexity and modernize pesticide management [ i.e. prohibition ] in Ontario while ensuring protection of human health and the environment.
This proposal is related to proposed amendments to the Pesticides Act.
Proposal Details
Overview Of Proposal
We are proposing to remove duplication and update Ontario’s pesticides regulation.
To achieve this objective, we are proposing to end Ontario’s duplicative application process for the classification of pesticides and align with the federal government’s application process, as all other provinces do.
This proposal WOULD HARMONIZE ONTARIO’S PESTICIDES CLASSES WITH THE FEDERAL CATEGORIES.
Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency ( PMRA ), under the authority of the Pest Control Products Act, registers pesticides after completing a rigorous review of scientific studies on potential impacts on human health and the environment.
Health Canada’s PMRA is resourced and equipped to review and register pesticides for all of Canada and is something all other provinces have recognized.
Ontario would continue to maintain Ontario’s general regulatory requirements, including licensing and permitting realigned to the federal categories.
See below for more details on revised classification.
However, Ontario will continue to deviate from the federal government in two key ways.
Ontario WILL MAINTAIN ITS COSMETIC PESTICIDE BAN and RESTRICTIONS ON THE SALE AND USE OF NEONICOTINOID ( NNI )-TREATED CORN AND SOYBEAN SEEDS.
Ontario recognizes that Health Canada’s PMRA is currently reviewing Canada’s historic approval of the use of neonicotinoid insecticides [ NNI ] and looks forward to the results of that review as early as next year.
As stated, Ontario REMAINS COMMITTED TO ITS COSMETIC PESTICIDES BAN, including existing exceptions.
Ontario believes this province-wide ban prevents a patchwork of varied municipal bans.
However, Ontario proposes to add CEMETERIES to the list of current exceptions to prohibition, alongside golf courses, sporting fields and agricultural operations.
The Biased & Prejudicial Ontario Prohibition. If it is safe to play on pesticide-treated cemeteries, golf courses, and sports fields … If it is safe to eat pesticide-treated food produced by the agriculture industry … Then, why is it NOT safe to play on pesticide-treated residential homes and government-owned properties, like parks ?!?!
While excepted, these uses will continue to include requirements to help ensure they are used appropriately.
After 10 years of experience with the cosmetic pesticide ban exception statuses, a few existing requirements, such as THE NEED FOR ADVERTISING IN NEWSPAPERS AND HOSTING COMMUNITY MEETINGS ( WHICH HAVE HAD LIMITED ATTENDANCE ) WILL BE REMOVED FROM SOME EXCEPTED USES, SUCH AS AT GOLF COURSES.
However, other public notification requirements will remain.
Lastly, due to the alignment with the federal government’s registration system and categories, Ontario will need to replace its existing cosmetic classes of pesticides with a new list, as the federal government currently does not restrict the use of pesticides for cosmetic use.
This new list will ensure that the same pesticides currently restricted for cosmetic use will continue to be restricted.
Rules associated with the current classes of cosmetic pesticides would be written into the regulation.
See below for more details on cosmetic pesticides.
As stated, Ontario will also continue to deviate from the federal government and Health Canada’s PMRA by continuing its restrictions on sale and use of NNI-treated corn and soybean seeds.
Today, Ontario remains one of only two provinces that restricts the use of NNI-treated corn and soybean seeds.
After 5 years of these restrictions, Ontario is proposing to adjust administrative requirements on farmers and seed vendors to ensure that the necessary information is collected and retained and appropriate training is completed, while reducing duplication.
Key restrictions would remain in place to help ensure NNI-treated seeds are not used unless there is a risk of infestation and used only by trained farmers.
See below for more details on NNI-treated seeds.
Ontario believes these adjustments will reduce complexity and modernize pesticide management in Ontario, a system developed in 1990, while ensuring protection of human health and the environment.
Ensuring continued environmental protection is a key part of our Made-in-Ontario Environment Plan commitment to maintain a healthy environment.
We are also proposing amendments to O. Reg. 681/94: Classification of Proposals for Instruments made under the Environmental Bill of Rights to require that a proposal to amend the document entitled « List of Active Ingredients Authorized for Cosmetic Uses » be posted to the Environmental Registry for public comment.

Overview Of Current Pesticide Management
In Canada, the federal government, through the PMRA, is responsible for registering pesticides.
The registration process considers risks to human health and the environment from the use of pesticides.
The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation, and Parks is responsible for regulating the sale, use, storage, transportation and disposal of pesticides in Ontario.
Ontario currently has twelve classes of pesticides.
The Ontario Pesticides Advisory Committee ( OPAC ) advises on the classification of pesticides in Classes 1 to 6.
Classes 7-11 relate to the classes of pesticides associated with the cosmetic pesticides ban.
Use of prescribed pesticides in, on or over land for non-essential cosmetic purposes is banned [ i.e. prohibited ] in Ontario, except for certain uses, including agriculture, playing fields, golf courses, and health and safety purposes.
Rules around Class 12 pesticides relate to the use of NNI-treated corn and soybean seeds, which are restricted to farms where the need for their use is demonstrated.
Revised Classification
We are proposing to reduce Ontario Classes 1 to 7 to four classes in order to align with the federal pesticide categories as designated under the Pest Control Products Act ( PCPA ).
These are Class A ( manufacturing ), B ( restricted ), C ( commercial ), and D ( domestic ).
Using the federal categories would eliminate the need for OPAC, whose primary function is to provide advice on the classification of pesticides.
Class 12 pesticides, related to NNI-treated seeds, would be replaced with Class E, a stand-alone class specific to NNI-treated seeds.
Rules related to Classes 7-10 would be retained and written into the regulation such that the classes would no longer be needed.
Class 11, which is related to active ingredients allowed for cosmetic use, would instead be addressed through a list of active ingredients that meet low risk criteria set out in the regulation.
See below for more details related to cosmetic pesticides.
Where there is a direct relationship between the current class and the new class, the current class would be renamed and replaced with the new class.
For example, a pesticide in Classes 5, 6 or 7 would become a Class D ( domestic ) pesticide in the regulation.
Where there is a less direct relationship between the current class and the new class, amendments are proposed to maintain protection of human health and the environment, including requirements for training, permits, and storage corresponding with associated risks.
For example, a rule that currently governs restricted and commercial pesticides in Classes 2,3, and 4 would now apply to two classes, Class B ( restricted ) and C ( commercial ), to align with the federal designation.
Generally, proposed classification-related amendments would maintain current requirements.
If this is not possible with reclassification, the requirements would be aligned with new classes, such that safe use can be maintained.
See attached proposed amendments to O. Reg. 63/09 and the Guide to Pesticide Classes for more details, including vendor information related to the sale of pesticides based on the new classification of pesticides.
More information can also be found below under the licensing and permits sections.
Licensing
Generally, licensing requirements would be maintained to ensure safe sale and use of pesticides.
Proposed amendments associate licensing requirements with the new classification.
This results in some modified requirements.
Farmers are currently excepted from licensing requirements to use certain pesticides.
Instead, training and certification are required in order to use certain Class 2 and 3 pesticides for farming operations.
Training and certification are currently not required to use Class 4 pesticides, which are lower hazard pesticides.
As a result of reclassification, Classes 2, 3, and 4 would now become Classes B and C.
It is proposed that farmers would continue to be excepted from the need for a licence to use Class B and C pesticides; however, a farmer would be required to be trained and certified to use Class B and C pesticides because these classes include higher hazard pesticides.
A farmer with training but no certification would be able to use these pesticides without a licence if used under the supervision of a certified farmer.
Vendors currently require a licence for the sale of Class 5 pesticides but currently do not require a license for the sale of Class 6 pesticides including some products for use in and around the residential home.
As a result of reclassification, Class D and would include both Class 5 and 6 pesticides.
It is proposed that vendors would require a licence for the sale of Class D pesticides, not including personal use insecticides and rodenticides.
Exterminators that hold a Fumigation Commodity Licence are currently not allowed to use Class 2 insecticides.
Under this proposal some Class 2 insecticides would now be classified as Class B and C pesticides resulting in a licence holder being able to use more pesticides to control insects in relation to commodities in a building or structure.
Training for this licence includes information relevant to insecticides.
Registered apiarists ( bee-keepers ) and Bee Inspectors would continue to be excepted from requiring a licence to use pesticides.
Under this proposal, they would also have use of some additional Class B pesticides, previously in Class 2.
This would not include fumigant gases.
As is currently the case, a Bee Inspector would be allowed to use fumigant gases for an extermination without a licence but would require a permit to do so.
Permits
Generally, permitting requirements would be maintained.
Proposed amendments associate permitting requirements with the new classification which results in some modified requirements.
The requirement to have a permit in order to perform a water extermination is maintained.
Permit requirements would also continue to be maintained for use of certain pesticides, such as fumigant gases and picloram, and in areas of special concern, such as in relation to forestry, realigned to the new classes of pesticides.
The current requirement for a permit to aerially apply Class 2 pesticides would be changed to a permit requirement to aerially apply Class B pesticides ( identified by the PMRA as being of higher concern ).
However, a permit would not be required with respect to a land extermination performed aerially by a municipality using Bacillus thuringiensis serotype kurstaki ( Btk ) for the purpose of maintaining a tree canopy ( i.e. to prevent the injury or death of trees caused by insects ).
This would maintain the status quo for municipalities that do not need a permit to use these pesticides.
The regulation currently lists some specific Class 3 pesticides ( herbicides ) that require a permit when aerially applied to land, typically used for the purposes of agricultural operations and rights of way exterminations.
Some of these would fall into Class B and continue to require a permit.
Those that fall into Class C would not require a permit.
The regulation would continue to require persons to abide by PMRA label restrictions and conditions to ensure safe use of these pesticides ( e.g. pesticide droplet size to avoid drift to unintended areas, and buffer zones to protect sensitive receptors ).
Permit conditions and restrictions have typically been consistent with PMRA label restrictions and conditions.
Excepted from requiring a permit is maintained for exterminations in a drainage ditch with no moving water.
To align with the PMRA requirement for a provincial permit to use diuron or acrolein, an extermination using a product containing either diuron or acrolein would require a permit.
Other Proposed Amendments
Some amendments are proposed that are not a direct result of the new classification, but are proposed to provide clarification, address existing regulatory gaps, reduce burden and address out-of-date requirements.
It is proposed that the authority to perform a land extermination of animals that sting, bite, are venomous or carry disease be clarified to enable a licensed exterminator of the Structural class to perform such exterminations, and that they be required to post signs to notify the public of pesticide use for this purpose.
Also, it is proposed that the authority to use herbicides to destroy weeds that are affecting a structure be clarified to enable a licensed exterminator of the Industrial Vegetation class to perform such exterminations.
To reduce burden, this proposal would also provide flexibility related to posting non-residential area signs.
Currently, the Director can authorize notification that differs from the requirement to post signs, such as posting a notice in a newspaper to notify the public of pesticide use.
This would be maintained.
It is also proposed that a person could use this alternative notification without the need for Director-approval in certain circumstances such as on rural roads and golf courses.
Additionally, insurance requirements for licensed operators are proposed to be updated for the coverage of death, injury and property damage to better reflect current market products.
Cosmetic Pesticides
THE COSMETIC PESTICIDES BAN WILL BE MAINTAINED, INCLUDING EXISTING EXCEPTIONS.
CEMETERIES are proposed to be added to the current exceptions to prohibition, with requirements to help ensure cosmetic pesticides are used appropriately.
Rules associated with the cosmetic ban would be integrated into the regulation such that a classification process is not needed.
For example, Class 10 ingredients such as glyphosate or glufosinate ammonium used to control poisonous plants would now be written into the regulation with associated rules.
It is proposed that the regulation refer to a document entitled « List of Active Ingredients Authorized for Cosmetic Uses » ( Allowable List ).
The Director would be able to add an active ingredient to the list if it were assessed to be low risk ( a similar process to currently adding an active ingredient to Class 11 ).
Low risk pesticides allowed for cosmetic use would be assessed by the Director using criteria set out in the regulation.
Pesticide vendors would determine sales restrictions that apply using label information and vendor guidance provided by the Ministry.
It is proposed that use of pesticides to maintain the lawn of a burial lot in a CEMETERY be added as a use that is excepted from the cosmetic ban if certain requirements are met, including Integrated Pest Management ( IPM ) certification and the preparation of an annual report of pesticide use.
Some amendments are being proposed to reduce unnecessary administrative requirements for excepted uses under prohibition.
This includes ELIMINATING THE REQUIREMENT FOR GOLF COURSES TO HOLD ANNUAL PUBLIC MEETINGS TO PRESENT AN ANNUAL REPORT OF PESTICIDE USE, AND ASSOCIATED NOTIFICATIONS.
Changes to the dates for annual reporting are also being proposed.
Consistent with the policy intent, the arboriculture exception would only require a written opinion once per year to carry out an extermination ( e.g. injection into a tree ) that requires multiple applications of a pesticide.
See attached proposed List of Active Ingredients Authorized for Cosmetic Uses associated with the cosmetic ban.
NNI-Treated ( Neonicotinoid ) Seeds
We are proposing to reduce regulatory burden associated with the sale and use of NNI-treated corn and soybean seeds by eliminating some requirements for users and vendors of NNI-treated seeds while retaining requirements to ensure they are only used where there is a risk and by trained persons.
As in other provinces, the government relies on Health Canada to evaluate pesticides to protect human health and the environment.
The federal government is contemplating restrictions on NNIs in order to protect aquatic species.
When Health Canada makes a decision on neonicotinoid pesticides, Ontario would consider further amendments at that time in order to align with any action the federal government takes.
We will continue to protect human health and the environment, including pollinator health, by continuing environmental monitoring of neonicotinoids and promoting best management practices to the agricultural sector.
Farmers would continue to be required to have completed a Pest Assessment Report ( PAR ) or complete the new Pest Risk Assessment Report ( PRAR ) which includes new options to demonstrate risk of pests.
This is proposed to now be a one-time requirement.
Farmers would also only be required to complete IPM training once.
The need for a Professional Pest Advisor to complete the PAR once every three years would be eliminated.
Farmers would be required to keep some records, such as extermination records ( use of NNI-treated seeds ), PAR/PRAR and other relevant documents.
NNI-treated seed vendors would continue to require a Treated Seed Vendor’s Licence to sell NNI-treated seeds to farmers who demonstrate they have a risk of pests and are IPM-certified.
The requirements to retain certain sales records would be maintained for NNI-treated seed vendors, including the pesticide name, the quantity sold, and key information related to the purchaser.
NNI-treated seed vendors would no longer be required to retain copies of farmers’ PAR/PRARs and IPM declarations.
Vendors would also no longer be required to submit to the government a list of Class 12 pesticides for sale, Annual Sales Data Report of NNI-treated and non-treated corn and soybean seeds, and copies of PARs received by farmers.
The Ministry would no longer be required to post sales data related to NNI-treated seeds.
See the proposed Pest Risk Assessment Guideline, Report, and Instructions attachment for details on new options to demonstrate risk of pests.
See the proposed Guide to Pesticide Classes attachment for vendor information related to the sale of NNI-treated seeds.
Complementary amendments to Classification of Proposals for Instruments Regulation ( O. Reg. 681/94 )
Currently, a proposal notice is required to be posted to the Environmental Registry for the classification of new active ingredients of pesticides in accordance with O. Reg 681/94.
This will no longer be relevant in the absence of a classification process.
Consequential amendments are proposed to remove this requirement.
The regulation would be amended to add a requirement for proposed amendments to the document entitled « List of Active Ingredients Authorized for Cosmetic Uses » to be posted to the Environmental Registry for public comment.
Commencement
The proposed regulations and NNI-related provisions would come into effect on filing.
Some provisions, such as those related to the new classification, may require updated programs and awareness of the regulated community before they are brought into effect.
As a result, implementation may be staggered by a couple of months for some provisions.
Estimated Impacts
There are no financial impacts to Ontarians associated with this proposal.
The proposed legislation and associated regulatory changes are expected to have positive impacts on commercial users and vendors of pesticides who would be able to bring pesticides to market and access pesticides immediately upon federal registration.
Eliminating Ontario’s classification process would also remove administrative cost and time delays associated with the application and classification process, improving the efficiency in accessing pesticides for sale and use in Ontario.
Administrative cost savings are also anticipated by reducing requirements associated with the sale and use of NNI-treated seeds and exceptions to the cosmetic ban.
Positive impacts are also estimated for small businesses and farmers by making pesticides immediately available for sale and use upon federal registration, eliminating the time-lag in pesticides available in Ontario compared to those available in other provinces.
The proposed legislation and regulatory changes are not anticipated to have significant environmental impacts.

Background Information
The Infamy Of Ontario’s
Prohibition Failures
The Biased & Prejudicial Prohibition
Ontario’s reckless and arbitrary provincial prohibition against conventional pest control products has become a dismal failure. Ontario has also arbitrarily prohibited against neonicotinoid insecticides, under the false pretext that they contribute to bee mortality. There is no proof that neonicotinoids harm bees. In fact, pest control products are Health-Canada-approved, scientifically-safe and will cause no harm. Ontario’s fanatжcal-prohibition has been extremely biased and highly prejudicial. It is a dismal failure because its prohibition has also created uncontrolled, invasive, and destructive pests.
The Inferior Green Alternative Pesticides
Ontario has imposed its failed prohibition by mis-leading the public with false-assumption that so-called green alternative pesticides are as safe and as effective as conventional products. Ontario concocted a list of so-called permitted pesticides ( a.k.a. inferior green alternatives ) that cannot possibly be as safe and as effective as conventional pest control products.
The Futile Practices Of Integrated Pest Management ( IPM )
Ontario has imposed its failed prohibition by prominently validating the futile practices of Integrated Pest Management ( IPM ). Wherever pesticide-free IPM is entirely relied upon, damaging pests may only be slightly suppressed, at the expense of plant growth, safe playing conditions, and appearance. IPM is #@!!% nonsense. IPM is a dismal failure. IPM is does not control pests in turf. Ontario desperately needs effective conventional pest control products, and not failed IPM practices.
The Ecological Pest Disasters Caused By Prohibition
Ontario’s failed-prohibition created self-inflicted catastrophic ecological carnage caused by uncontrolled, invasive, and destructive pests. Because of Ontario’s failed prohibition, government-owned green spaces and residential properties have been severely damaged and destroyed, and have been turned into pest-infested and dangerous garbage dumps. Ontario’s failed-prohibition has cost stunningly exorbitant amounts of money ― millions of dollars. European Chafer Insects, Japanese Knotweed, and others, have become uncontrolled, invasive, and destructive pests ― because of Ontario’s fanatжcal-prohibition.
The Uncontrolled European Chafer Insects
Ontario’s prohibition is a dismal failure because it has led to self-inflicted catastrophic ecological European Chafer Insect carnage in the urban landscape. Government officials recommend nematode insecticides, a failed green alternative insecticide. It would be better to do nothing rather than use nematodes against destructive insect pests like European Chafer. Ontario’s failed-prohibition has cost stunningly exorbitant amounts of money which are wasted on failed green alternative nematodes. There is no #@!!% hope in Ontario for controlling the infestations of European Chafer.
The Inconsistent & Unfair Exception Statuses
The audacity and hypocrisy of Ontario’s provincial officials is clearly evident when they circumvent their own fanatжcal-prohibition by taking advantage of exceptions that they wrote into their regulations. Ontario’s prohibition has allowed inconsistent and unfair pesticide ban exception statuses for pest infestations ― on government-owned green spaces only, such as sports fields [ ?!?! ]. Ontario’s prohibition has allowed thousands and thousands of inconsistent and unfair exception statuses for controlling invasive and destructive pests on government-owned green spaces ― such as European Chafer Insects. Additionally, for those residents with the same pest problems on their residential home properties, they may be shжt-outta-luck relying on any exception. There should be no #@!!% exception statuses whatsoever.
The Golf Courses
Prohibition has not been imposed against local golf facilities ― even though golf courses are maintained by applying the-very-same ingredients otherwise prohibited on government-owned green spaces and residential properties.
Conclusion
If it is safe to play on pesticide-treated cemeteries, golf courses, and sports fields …
If it is safe to eat pesticide-treated food produced by the agriculture industry …
Then, why is it not safe to play on pesticide-treated residential homes and government-owned properties, like parks ?!?!

Background Information
Ontario’s Prohibitions Have
Not Been Based On Science
The Science Indicates That Pest Control Products Are Selective & Safe
Pest control products used in the urban landscape will selectively and effectively control disease, insect, and weed pests, but are completely safe for other non-target organisms ― they do not injure turfgrasses, and have no persistence beyond season of use. These products can be used safely because the amount required to affect human health is significantly higher than any potential level of exposure. The concept that a low level of exposure to a substance will not adversely affect human ties directly into the fundamental principle of toxicology ― the study of negative effects on living systems ― that « the dose makes the poison ».
People are exposed daily to numerous man-made and natural substances that may impact human health, but are cause no harm in small doses ( example, low levels of naturally-occurring cyanide in almonds ), and conversely, ordinary harmless substances that can be highly toxic or deadly if not used properly or over-consumed ( example, water ).
The risks of pest control products are extensively assessed by Health Canada and by Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) to ensure that they are scientifically-safe when used properly.
The Science Indicates That Incident Reports
& Re-Entry Intervals Ensure Pesticide Safety
Health Canada helps protect the Canadian public by researching, assessing and collaborating in the management of the health risks and safety hazards associated with the many consumer products that Canadians use every day. Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency ( PMRA ) regulates pest control products in Canada. PMRA requires thorough scientific reviews and safety assessments to ensure that pest control products meet strict health and environmental standards and are shown to have value. Pest control products are one of the most stringently regulated products in Canada. It employs over 350 doctorate-level experts and leading scientific experts on pest control products. Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency has the essential expertise on pest control products.
Health Canada has stated that it is confident that the pest control products that it approves for use in Canada can be used safely when label directions are followed. Incident Reports are monitored by Health Canada to identify any potential risks to health or the environment from the use of pest control products and to take corrective actions when necessary. The more serious individual Incident Reports may lead to an official evaluation and action.
Indisputable and conclusive science-based research shows that, as reported through Health Canada’s confidential test data, no harm will occur when pest control products are used according to label directions. The risk assessments of pest control products indicates that they are practically-non-toxic.
Re-Entry Intervals are necessary to ensure that any pest control product residues on the treated turfgrass surfaces do not pose an unacceptable risk to human health. These intervals reflect the amount of time required for pest control product levels to dissipate to a level that is well below any point of concern. They are determined by Health Canada in order to protect people against potential harm from pest control products applied to turfgrasses. Typically, for all pest control products used for lawn care maintenance, the Health-Canada-approved labels state ― keep people off treated area until foliage is dry.
When examining Health Canada’s Incident Reports, there is overwhelming evidence that inferior green alternatives pesticides are questionably higher in toxicity, and pose higher environmental risks. Here are some examples of serious issues ― • animal ( dog ) deaths ?!?! • attempted suicide ?!?! • child gastro-intestinal vomiting • diarrhea ?!?! • hands discolored black • itchy & red hands • major oral exposure • minor dermal irritation • minor dermal swelling • minor eye exposure • minor eye irritation • minor grass damage • minor oral exposure • minor skin exposure • pain in arm & hand • respiratory exposure • sickness ?!?! • transient dermal irritation.
For every conventional pest control product, manufacturers spend 250,000,000 dollars in order to satisfy Health Canada’s scientific Risk Assessments. Two-hundred separate Risk Assessments are performed by the 350 professional experts at Health Canada to ensure that these products are scientifically-safe, and will cause no harm. Consequently, there is not one known Incident Report of harm from the proper use of conventional pest control products used in the urban landscape. Pest control products are scientifically-safe, and will not cause harm to people, animals, or the environment.

Coalition-Alliances Against Pesticides In Ontario
[ Anti-neonicotinoid & environmental-terrжrist organizations ] say the [ current Conservative ] Ontario government is proposing to WEAKEN the province’s restrictions on a class of agricultural pesticides that some scientific studies blame for large declines in the populations of bees and other insects. [ ?!?! ]
A COALITION [ i.e. an ALLIANCE ] that includes Environmental Defence and the Ontario Bee-Keepers’ Association says proposed rule changes for neonicotinoids, or neonics for short, will make it easier for farmers to use them and harder for the government to track them. [ ?!?! ]
The 2019 Coalition-Alliance Of Anti-Pesticide Destroyers Against Amendments To The Pesticides Act In The Province Of Ontario ― • Canadian Association Of Physicians For The Environment ( CAPE ) • David Suzuki Foundation • Environmental Defence Canada ( EDC ) • Evidence For Democracy • Friends Of The Earth Canada ( FOE ) • Ontario Bee-Keepers’ Association ( OBA ) • Ontario Nature • Registered Nurses’ Association Of Ontario ( RNAO ).

The 2009 Alliance Of Destroyers Of Lawn Care Businesses In The Province Of Ontario ― • Canadian Association Of Physicians For The Environment ( CAPE ) • Canadian Broadcasting Corporation ( CBC ) • Canadian Cancer Society ( CCS ) • Canadian Environmental Law Association ( CELA ) • David Suzuki Foundation • Ecojustice Canada • Green Party • Prevent Cancer Now ( PCN ) • Sierra Club • TIDES Canada • World Wildlife Fund ( WWF ) • and dozens and dozens of local organizations & small clubs.
In 2009, these organizations interfered in partisan politics by conspiring to prohibit against pest control products used in the urban landscape.
They have squandered and misappropriated public and government funds in order to support subversive acts of anti-pesticide terrжrism perpetrated by local organizations and small clubs.
Environmental Defence Canada ( EDC ) is one of the destroyers of Ontario’s lawn care industry that has participated in the conspiracy to impose reckless and arbitrary prohibition against pest control products. This organization is now targeting the agriculture industry with its neonicotinoid-hating terrжrism. It operates as a mad-hatter, non-expert, tax-exempt, for-profit, anti-pesticide, and environmental-terrжrist organization. EDC illegally interferes with partisan politics and public policy, and hence, is under audit-investigation for violating taxation laws. Not surprisingly, it has been financed by Ontario Trillium Foundation, the instrument for financing anti-pesticide organizations by the government of Ontario. EDC conspires with alliances involving most enviro-organizations. Member of the 2009 alliance of destroyers of lawn care businesses in the province of Ontario. It is a member of Coalition for Pesticide Reform Ontario, Green Prosperity Coalition Ontario, and Suzuki-enviro-terrжrist-alliances. Member of the 2019 coalition-alliance of anti-pesticide destroyers that oppose amendments to the Pesticides Act in the province of Ontario. In fact, EDC operates as a legal affairs shield for Suzuki. David Suzuki himself has been honorary board member at EDC.
Ontario Bee-Keepers’ Association
According to Andre Flys at Ontario Bee-Keepers’ Association ―
Bee-keepers in Ontario remain under pressure from high winter mortality, excessive queen replacements, and low honey yields.
Much of this pressure can be traced to persistent pesticide exposure [ ?!?! ], and loss of forage to corn, soy and development. [ … and incompetent bee-keepers who are killing their own hives. ]
Ontario must continue to support pollinator health by addressing the overuse of all pesticides, especially neonics and other systemic water-soluble pesticides. [ ?!?! ]
Ontario Bee-Keepers’ Association ( OBA ) is a renegade trade association that has been directed and controlled by Sierra Club in order to mask its extremist radical neonicotinoid-hating terrжrism. Member of the 2019 coalition-alliance of anti-pesticide destroyers that oppose amendments to the Pesticides Act in the province of Ontario.
Sierra Club is one of the destroyers of Ontario’s lawn care industry that has participated in the conspiracy to impose reckless and arbitrary prohibition against pest control products. This organization is now targeting the agriculture industry with its neonicotinoid-hating terrжrism. It has been operated by Green Party activists. It operates as a mindless environmental group that functions nation-wide and with provincial chapters. Sierra illegally interferes with partisan politics and public policy, and hence, has been under audit-investigation for violating taxation laws. Not surprisingly, it is financed by TIDES foreign money and the government Of Ontario. Sierra conspires with alliances involving most enviro-organizations. Member of the 2009 alliance of destroyers of lawn care businesses in the province of Ontario. It is a member of an alliance that defended the Hudson prohibition, Green Prosperity Coalition Ontario, and Suzuki-enviro-terrжrist-alliances. Member of the 2019 coalition-alliance of anti-pesticide destroyers that oppose amendments to the Pesticides Act in the province of Ontario. Green Party of Canada operates as a political shield for Sierra. Ontario Bee-Keepers’ Association and Saxe Law Office operate as public affairs shields for Sierra.
Health Canada
But the Ontario government, farmer organizations, and pesticide manufacturers, who support the changes, say they would reduce unnecessary paperwork and cut duplication by leaving most pesticide regulation to Ottawa.
Health Canada, after studying the effects on bees, stopped short of following the European Union and banning neonics. [ ?!?! ]
Thank You, Health Canada. Health Canada will continue to allow neonicotinoid insecticides for use in certain sectors of the agriculture industry. We must thank Health Canada for imposing no further restrictions against neonicotinoids used on agricultural crop seeds and greenhouse vegetables. Existing restrictions ( i.e. prohibitions ) will remain, but they will not be expanded for the foreseeable future. This is because neonicotinoid insecticides can be used effectively and safely without unnecessary risk to pollinators. Unfortunately, anti-neonicotinoid terrжrism has not ended ― and it will never end in Canada. Additional cancellations and new restrictions will be imposed over the next two- to three-years.
But Health Canada is considering whether to phase-them-out [ i.e. prohibit ] because of their effects on aquatic insects. [ ?!?! ]
In a statement to be released, the [ anti-pesticide & environmental-terrжrist organizations ] also call Ontario’s proposed changes « undemocratic », saying they are in omnibus legislation aimed at slashing « red tape » for businesses that also would allow dogs on pub patios and 24-hour drinking at international airports.
In a summary distributed last month when it unveiled the bill, the Progressive Conservative government said it was « proposing to maintain restrictions » on neonics, « with some administrative burden relief ».
But [ anti-pesticide & environmental-terrжrist organizations ] say the changes go much further.
David Suzuki Foundation
According to Lisa Gue, a senior researcher [ ?!?! ] with David Suzuki Foundation.
Robust pesticide regulations are crucial to protect public health and the environment.
The rollbacks the government is proposing leave us all vulnerable.
[ … ]
It’s just really troubling to see environmental protection regulations characterized as red tape.
Lisa Gue is a non-expert pesticide-hating fanatжc who has subversively conspired to impose reckless and arbitrary prohibition against all pest control products. Gue is not a political expert, she is not a scientist, and she is not a researcher. She is paid-for-profit by David Suzuki Foundation as a mere lobbyist. In fact, this Suzuki-operative is a mere housewife raising kids full-time and working as a Suzuki-operative part-time just two days per week. For decades, Gue has been ridiculously implying that her non-expert assessment concerning pest control products is somehow being withheld from Health Canada and every other science-based regulatory agency in the world. Should we trust Gue ?!?! She conveniently ignores real scientific evidence, and attempts to impose her politicized-doctrines and her twisted life-style choices against our society. Gue cannot be trusted !
David Suzuki Foundation is one of the destroyers of Ontario’s lawn care industry that has subversively participated, with the Liberal government, in the conspiracy to prohibit against conventional pest control products used in the urban landscape. This organization is now targeting the agriculture industry with its neonicotinoid-hating terrжrism. It operates as a dangerous, destructive, hypocritical, insatiable, golf-hating, anti-pesticide, and environmental-terrжrist organization. Suzuki illegally interferes with partisan politics and public policy, and hence, has been under audit-investigation for violating taxation laws. Not surprisingly, it has been financed by Ontario Trillium Foundation, the instrument for financing anti-pesticide organizations by the government of Ontario. Suzuki conspires with alliances involving most enviro-organizations. Member of the 2009 alliance of destroyers of lawn care businesses in the province of Ontario. It is a member of Coalition For Pesticide Reform Ontario and Green Prosperity Coalition Ontario, as well as leader of Suzuki-enviro-terrжrist-alliances. Member of the 2019 coalition-alliance of anti-pesticide destroyers that oppose amendments to the Pesticides Act in the province of Ontario. It conspires with Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and Prevent Cancer Now against the golf industry. Green Party of Canada operates as a political shield for Suzuki. Ecojustice and Environmental Defence operate as legal affairs shields for Suzuki.
Canadian Association Of Physicians For The Environment
According to Randall McQuaker, pesticides director with Canadian Association Of Physicians For The Environment ( CAPE ) ―
Ontario’s world class ban on non-essential lawn and garden pesticides protects public health and the environment. [ ?!?! ]
If the government is truly committed to upholding the ban, it needs to tighten up the language in its proposed amendments, apply the precautionary principle [ ?!?! ], and maintain the original criteria for determining allowed lower-risk pesticides [ ?!?! ].
Randall McQuaker is a self-appointed pesticides director at CAPE who has been trained as a mere environmental activist. He has NO expertise, NO education, NO competency in matters concerning pesticides. As with all CAPE-fanatжcs, he operates as an illegal unregistered non-expert lobbyist who is remunerated by CAPE, a known radical anti-pesticide & environmental-terrжrist organization.

Relying Upon The Precautionary Principle Is Worthless. Better safe than sorry ?!?! Really ?!?! The sacred so-called precautionary principle is also known as the do-nothing principle. Those that do nothing need not worry about ever taking a risk or ever making a mistake. The precautionary principle was intended for use where science does not exist. Unfortunately, the precautionary principle is mis-used to serve the ambitions of environmental & anti-pesticide fanatжcs, like Randall McQuaker.
Neonicotinoids Harm Bees ?
Studies have linked neonics to bee deaths, and shown that chronic exposure through pollen and water can limit bees’ ability to forage and navigate, raising alarms about the effects of a decline of such pollinators on the ecosystem. [ ?!?! ]
In response, the previous [ anti-neonicotinoid ] provincial Liberal government brought in new restrictions on neonic-coated seeds for corn and soybeans in 2015.
No Proof That Neonicotinoids Harm Bees ! The Ontario Liberal government was wrong ! There is no proof that neonicotinoid insecticides harm honeybee colonies, when they are used properly. Scientists, under the direction of the famed Dr Keith Ross Solomon, at the University of Guelph, have reported that there are no studies that show that neonicotinoids have harmed honeybee colonies. Scientists found that while these insecticides can harm individual honeybees, there is no evidence linking them to the losses of a few bee-keepers in recent years. In other words, when correctly-used, neonicotinoid insecticides do not adversely affect honeybee colonies. The use of these neonicotinoids with good agricultural practices does not present a risk to honeybees at the level of the colony. Consequently, neonicotinoids are not a major concern for honeybees.
Neonicotinoids Are Not A Major Concern ! Why are only a few bee-keepers losing their bees ?!?! The most likely cause of losses are the bee-keepers themselves. Incompetent bee-keepers are killing their own hives. Observers have concluded that many bee-keepers have no idea what they are doing, and are simply not skilled to raise bees. Bee-keepers are killing their own bees over and over again. Otherwise, bees are growing and thriving. There is no bee-pocalypse because of the use of neonicotinoid insecticide. There are no plummeting of bee numbers. However, some bee-keepers are losing their bees over and over again simply because they are incompetent ! Bees are not being lost because of the agricultural use of insecticides. They are not a major concern !
Those restrictions require farmers to take a pest-management course and consult professional pest advisers every three years.
To get access to neonic-coated seeds, they had to perform tests to show their soil is infested with grubs or worms, or document crop damage from these pests.
Under the proposed legislative and regulatory changes, farmers would still have to take a course, but they could then fill out a form declaring that their farm faces just one of several risk factors for pests.
And they would have to apply for permission to use neonics only once, not every year.

About NORAHG
We Speak The Whole Truth About Ontario
From An Independent Perspective
We are the National Organization Responding Against HUJE that conspire to destroy the Green space and other industries ( NORAHG ). As a non-profit and independent organization, we are environmentalists who are dedicated to reporting about truth-challenged pesticide-hating fanatжcs ( HUJE ) who conspire to destroy businesses that are dependent on the use of safe and effective conventional pest control products. We also report on the work of several highly-rated leading experts who have recognized expertise, training, and background in matters concerning pest control products, and who promote environmental realism and pesticide truths. https://wp.me/p1jq40-8DV
Not surprisingly, enviro-fanatжcs have demonstrated that they are incapable of processing overwhelming scientific evidence. Should we trust these fanatжcs, who conveniently ignore scientific evidence, and attempt to impose their politicized-doctrines and twisted life-style choices against our society ?!?!
NORAHG was the brain-child of Mr William H Gathercole and his colleagues in 1991. Mr Gathercole is now retired, although his name continues to appear as founder. We dare to defy the pesticide-hating fanatжcs by exploring the whole truth from an independent perspective on The Pesticide Truths Web-Site … https://pesticidetruths.com/ If you wish to receive free reports on issues that concern you, please contact us at … force.of.de.nature@gmail.com WILLIAM H GATHERCOLE AND NORAH G
