Manitoba’s Prohibition Reversal
~
Victory Against Manitoba’s
Harmful-Prohibition
~
~
~
Provincial Prohibition ―
~
~
The now-rescinded prohibition has historically defied the majority of Manitobans who did not want prohibition, with more than 60 per cent having indicated that prohibition has been too strict.
~
Manitoba’s 2015 provincial prohibition against no-harm conventional pest control products was reckless, arbitrary, & doomed-to-fail.
~
Provincial politics in Manitoba is dominated by the Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba, which is the current government-in-power, & the New Democrats ( NDP ), the radical pesticide-hating party that had imposed prohibition.
~
Prohibition was justified in Manitoba under the false-pretexts that pesticides supposedly cause environmental damage, various cancers, & negative effects on pollinators.
~
The use of insecticides causes none of these things.
~
In fact, Manitoba’s harmful-prohibition has wreaked apocalyptic carnage in the form catastrophic ecological pest disasters, with urban green spaces becoming weed-infested, insect-damaged, & dangerous garbage dumps because conventional pest control products were not allowed.
~
No one has ever wanted this #@!!% ban nonsense.
~
Manitoba is a prairie province in western Canada, which has a population of over one million, mostly living in the southern half of the province.
~
~
~
Reversal Of Prohibition ―
~
~
Namaste, Manitoba ― Greetings to you, Manitoba.
~
Victory against Manitoba’s harmful-prohibition.
~
Manitoba has become part of a real trend against reckless, arbitrary, & doomed-to-fail prohibitions.
~
Manitobans do not want any #@!!% prohibition nonsense !
~
The province of Manitoba has rescinded its harmful-prohibition against conventional pest control products.
~
Manitoba’s current Conservative government will allow any pesticide that is evaluated & approved by Health Canada.
~
Manitoba joins the trend with over 70 other jurisdictions that have stopped or rescinded or limited or changed or have begun to repeal harmful-prohibitions, or have granted commercial businesses with exception statuses.
~
Manitoba’s current Conservative government has recognized that conventional pest control products are scientifically-safe, & will cause NO harm to human health, & will cause NO harm to the environment.
~
The Manitoba Conservative government deserves our gratitude & our thanks.
~
Changes will permit the use of all Health-Canada-approved products, & will enhance protections in areas where children & pets gather.
~
~
~
Resuming Pesticide Use ―
~
~
Manitoba residents wanted prohibition to end because they were frustrated over being forced to use green alternative pesticides that were too expensive & not effective.
~
Manitoba’s garbage dump green spaces were directly caused by prohibition.
~
Herbicides needed to be reinstated to get rid of weeds such as dandelions in the most prominent parks & boulevards.
~
Weeds also needed to be effectively controlled to protect allergy sufferers from weed pollen.
~
~
~
Pest Control Programs ―
~
~
Manitoba’s harmful-prohibition had forced Manitobans to use ineffective green alternatives like Fiesta herbicide in much higher quantities to have any effect ― causing more potential environmental hazards.
~
Fortunately, it will be legal once again for Manitobans to use so-called cosmetic pesticides on their lawns.
~
It’s ok to treat lawns for damaging pests in Manitoba again.
~
It used to be ok to spray golf course lawns for weeds, but not household lawns ( but not anymore ).
~
The science shows that pesticide programs used in the urban landscape will selectively & effectively control disease, insect, & weed pests, but are completely safe for other non-target organisms.
~
~
~
Pesticide Opposition ―
~
~
Whenever prohibition is imposed, it’s not scientists, but extremists, who decide who can use what pesticides, when, & where.
~
Health Canada, & not extremists, has the essential expertise & ultimate credibility on pest control products.
~
Prohibiting pesticides as a precaution is unnecessary.
~
Adhering to this form of precautionary principle is absolutist, misused, vacuous, & is simply another malicious weapon of pesticide-hating doctrine & science-hating fanatжcism concocted by anti-pesticide extremists.
~
Manitobans do not want any #@!!% extremist nonsense !
~
~
~
Protecting The Public ―
~
~
The public does not require protection from so-called cosmetic pesticides.
~
Pesticides will not impact human health, bio-diversity, or ecosystems.
~
Furthermore, pesticides represent no-actual-risk-of-harm to children.
~
Pesticides are good for the urban landscape, & they will not harm human health & the environment when used properly.
~
Well-maintained urban landscape will contribute to our quality of life & produce enormous environmental benefits.
~
The green space maintenance professionals are the planet’s great conservationists.
~
~
~
Literature Review ―
~
~
The radical Manitoba NDP government argued that a literature review of 140 medical studies by Ontario College of Family Physicians ( OCFP ) offered plenty of evidence indicating that prohibition was needed [ ?!?? ] .
~
OCFP’s evidence provided an assessment that was somewhat valueless, inconclusive, tenuous, & discredited.
~
The literature review by OCFP was a hate-assessment against Health-Canada-approved pesticides.
~
Manitobans do not want any #@!!% literature review nonsense !
~
~
~
Green Alternatives ―
~
~
In order to validate prohibition, Manitoba’s previous NDP government had been spreading fake-news & false-science into the public discussion, with exaggerations that a single application of Fiesta herbicide, an inferior green alternative herbicide, can successfully replace conventional products such as Killex & Par III.
~
Predictably, Manitoba’s prohibition has forced residents & professionals to rely upon phony, inferior, ineffective, & unaffordable green alternative pesticides like Fiesta herbicide.
~
The vast majority of Fiesta users overwhelmingly condemn it.
~
Unfortunately, it is impossible to keep Manitoba’s urban environment well-maintained, safe, & attractive by using pesticide-free programs consisting of alternative pesticides & practices only.
~
In fact, green alternative pesticides, like Fiesta herbicide, have cost 10 to 15 times more than conventional products, in addition to being so ineffective that undesirable repetitious applications have been required.
~
Before Manitoba’s prohibition, conventional herbicides used to work quite well for controlling dandelions since they affected both top-growth & root-growth.
~
By contrast, green alternative pesticides only affect top-growth.
~
With the reversal of prohibition, Fiesta will inevitably become a bad memory, & all pesticides sold & used in Manitoba will simply be aligned with federal regulations & rigorous Health Canada assessments.
~
Alternative practices, like manual weed picking, are also not effective to combat weed infestations.
~
Pesticide-free programs are medieval, ineffective, & doomed-to-fail.
~
Alternatives will never, ever, work ― & an entire province, Manitoba, has said so.
~
There are no viable, no efficacious, no economical, & no low-risk alternatives to replace conventional products.
~
Moreover, inferior & ineffective alternatives cannot ever replace effective & no-risk conventional products.
~
Finally, it is unsafe to employ practices involving the use of clover as an alternative to grass.
~
Clover is dangerous for human health & the environment.
~
Manitobans do not want any #@!!% green alternative nonsense !
~
~
~
Corruption ―
~
~
There have been examples of Fiesta shilling-corruption at both the provincial & municipal levels of government.
~
Some officials having gone so far as to operate as paid-for-profit-salesmen for Fiesta herbicide.
~
Manitobans will not tolerate government officials who have been endorsing Fiesta in public forums under the pretense of sincerity, when in fact they may be simply remunerated as shills or salesmen.
~
Manitobans do not want any #@!!% Fiesta nonsense !

Victory – Winnipeg’s Proposed Phasing-In Of Targeted Pesticide Program
~
Resuming Pesticide Use
~
~
~
Reasons ―
~
~
To Get Rid Of Weeds Such As Dandelions
In The Most Prominent Parks & Boulevards
~
To Protect Allergy Sufferers From Weed Pollen
~
To Respond To Complaints From Residents
Concerning Garbage Dump Green Spaces
~
To Align With Manitoba Which Is Prepared
To Remove Its Province-Wide Prohibition
~
See below
~
~
~
Media Report 1 ―
~
~
In spring 2023, the gardening season had started, and Manitobans have more options to deal with weeds.
~
In November 2022, the provincial government LIFTED the ban on cosmetic pesticides, which had been in place since 2014.
~
Mr David Hinton, owner of Weed Man Manitoba, now has more tools in his toolbox ―
~
For the last seven years, we’ve only been able to use one product, called Fiesta.
~
Now, it’s still available of course, and we’re still using it, but we have more traditional products available to us.
~
Mr Hinton says those traditional products ― such as Killex and Par III ― are 10 TO 15 TIMES CHEAPER to use ―
~
The bio weed controls we’ve had to use for the last seven years are EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE .
~
So the product COST IS HIGH , you have to apply it MUCH MORE OFTEN , and you have to put it down at a MUCH HIGHER RATE .
~
~
~
Media Report 2 ―
~
~
In 2022, councillor Jeff Browaty called for Winnipeg to report on potentially PHASING-IN COSMETIC PESTICIDE USE TO RID GREEN SPACES OF NOXIOUS WEEDS , such as dandelions, as the PROVINCE PREPARED TO REMOVE ITS OWN PROVINCE-WIDE PROHIBITION .
~
Councillor Browaty said he will ask council to consider FUNDING A TARGETED PESTICIDE PROGRAM in the 2024-2027 multi-year budget process.
~
He said eliminating the weeds would help PROTECT ALLERGY SUFFERERS and ensure Winnipeg maintains a certain AESTHETIC .
~
Councillor Browaty believes council should USE SOME PESTICIDES TO ELIMINATE WEEDS in the most prominent parks and boulevards.
~
According to councillor Jeff Browaty ―
~
There’s certain types of COMPLAINTS that are typical from residents …
~
In the early summer, it’s DANDELIONS .
~
I do believe we have IMAGE ROUTES in our city and I do believe there are places where some level of dandelion and invasive weed control is appropriate.
~
According to councillor Browaty ―
~
( When weeds spread, ) it just seems the city is NOT DOING ITS PART .
~
A lot of people take a lot of pride and care in their own yard and then it just looks like THE CITY IS NOT TAKING CARE OF THINGS ( on its land ) .
~
The councillor said he is not against efforts to « NATURALIZE » some city land with indigenous plants but believes some grass-covered sites should have a MORE MANICURED LOOK .
~
~
[ … & SHOULD AVOID THE INEVITABLE GARBAGE DUMP GREEN SPACES DIRECTLY CAUSED BY PROHIBITION ] .

GARBAGE DUMP GREEN SPACES !
~
~
Manitoba’s reckless, arbitrary, & doomed-to-fail PROHIBITION has wreaked APOCALYPTIC CONDITIONS in the form of CATASTROPHIC ECOLOGICAL CARNAGE DUE TO UNCONTROLLED WEED INVASIONS .
~
It is IMPOSSIBLE to keep green spaces from becoming weed-infested, insect-damaged, & dangerous GARBAGE DUMPS unless conventional pest control products are allowed.
~
Manitoba’s green spaces & hard-landscapes have needed to be controlled annually in order to remain safe & attractive.
~
Unfortunately, it is IMPOSSIBLE to keep the urban environment well-maintained, safe, & attractive with pesticide-free ( aka organic ) maintenance practices.
~
Manitobans have been arbitrarily & unfairly forced to rely on PHONY & INFERIOR & INEFFECTIVE GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES like Fiesta herbicide.
~
Manitobans do not want this #@!!% ban nonsense !

False-Fact ―

Alternative Practices Are Effective
To Combat Weed Infestations
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
~
See below
~
~
~
Media Report ―
~
~
In the early 2000s, the city of Winnipeg began REDUCING its cosmetic pesticide use on boulevards and parks.
~
By 2014, Winnipeg had essentially no cosmetic spray program by the time the province-wide PROHIBITION against cosmetic pesticides was IMPOSED by Manitoba’s [ RADICAL ] NDP government.
~
By November 2022, the use of pesticides was ALLOWED on many more private lawns and green spaces, but not within 15 metres of a playground, picnic area, or within a dog park.
~
The city of Winnipeg had continued to use pesticides for a few non-cosmetic purposes, such as spraying weeds in hard-surface areas ( i.e. sidewalk cracks ), managing invasive species to protect habitats, and removing poisonous plants.
~
In addition, GOLF COURSES have always been [ UNFAIRLY ] EXEMPTED from pesticide bans.
~
Winnipeg had also turned to [ FAILED ] techniques [ AKA GREEN ALTERNATIVE PRACTICES ] to combat weeds over the years, which had included increased mowing [ FAILURE ! ] , aeration [ FAILURE ! ] , and fertilization [ FAILURE ! ]
~
~
[ … & MANUAL WEED PICKING WHICH HAS ALSO BEEN A FAILURE – IT WOULD BE BETTER TO DO NOTHING RATHER THAN PICK WEEDS BY HAND ] .
~
~
~
Facts ―
~

It Is Impossible To Successfully
Maintain Properties As Weed-Free,
Safe, & Attractive By Using Practices
Like Manual Weed Picking

MANUAL WEED PICKING !
~
~
Manual weed picking is TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE for weed control, & does not work.
~
It is IMPOSSIBLE to successfully maintain properties as weed-free, safe, & attractive by using practices like manual weed picking.
~
It is not cost effective, & it is incredibly labour-intensive.
~
Manual weed picking is a primary reason for the REPEATED FAILURES OF PROHIBITIONS against no-risk conventional pest control products used in the urban landscape.
~
With the adoption of prohibitions, municipal employees & residents are being forced to resort to the back-breaking & agonizing job of manual weed picking.
~
This means that municipal employees & residents are being devalued & humiliated as mere cotton-pickers.
~
It would be better to do nothing rather than rely upon manual weed picking.
~
Relying on manual weed picking means that urban green spaces will inevitably become weed-infested garbage dumps.
~
Not surprisingly, prohibition has been a DISMAL FAILURE for municipalities.
~
Municipalities DESPERATELY NEED conventional pest control products, & not failed green alternative practices like manual weed picking, as well as increased mowing, soil aeration, & fertilization.
~
Instead of admitting that #@!!% manual weed picking is a DISMAL FAILURE , government officials & fanatжcal-activists prefer living in the world of false-facts & junk science.
~
No one wants to #@!!% pull weeds by hand.

~
The pitfalls of using pesticides outweigh the cosmetic benefits of killing weeds [ WRONG ! ] , so Winnipeg SHOULD NOT RESUME USING PESTICIDES on public lands [ ?!?! ] , according to the city staff [ EXTREMISTS ] report ―
~
A cosmetic spray program would … come with negative environmental effects ( on ) POLLINATORS [ WRONG ! ] and bio-diversity [ WRONG ! ] .
~
The city staff [ EXTREMISTS ] noted it would REQUIRE MORE STAFF AND EQUIPMENT and also HARM THE ENVIRONMENT [ WRONG ! ] .
~
The city staff [ EXTREMISTS ] report says most cities have largely backed away from pesticide use [ ?!?! ] .

It also warns pesticides do not only damage dandelions and other weeds, but can kill off broad-leaved plants such as [ DANGEROUS ] CLOVER , which Winnipeg is exploring as an ALTERNATIVE TO GRASS . [ ?!?! ]
~
[ PESTICIDE-HATING ] councillor John Orlikow, head of council’s community services committee, also OPPOSES a cosmetic pesticide program.
~
According to [ EXTREMIST ] Orlikow ―
~
For the city to take on a large-scale program, where would we find the money for it ? …

The Use Of Insecticides Does Not
Create Bee Colony Collapse Disorder
~
See below
~
~
~
Response ―
~
~
Background Information
~
THERE IS NO BEE CRISIS !
~
~
The alleged losses of bees are, in fact, the FAULT OF THE BEE-KEEPERS & their mis-management practices.
~
They are responsible, & NOT neonicotinoid insecticides.
~
Their prohibition will NOT save bees.
~
The use of neonicotinoids DOES NOT create bee colony collapse disorder.
~
Neonicotinoids are a category of insecticides used to control insects on a variety of agricultural crops, including as a seed treatment, & on turf & ornamental plants, as well as other uses.
~
The introduction of neonicotinoids has helped boost crop yields while protecting bee health, human health, & the environment.
~
Historically, bee crises are NOTHING NEW since heavy losses have been reported for a long time, & NOT because of insecticides.
~
There is NO bee crisis caused by neonicotinoids.
~
Overall, neonicotinoid insecticides play a NEGLIGIBLE role compared to parasitic mites ( specifically the Varroa mite ) & pathogens ( such as Nosema & viral diseases ) as main factors, as well as loss of habitat.
~
Although some neonicotinoid insecticides are toxic to bees upon direct contact ( as are many insecticides ), they are used in a way that MINIMIZES any direct exposure to bees, such as seed treatment.
~
Seed treatment insecticides have been used for a decade with almost no incidences of negative impacts on bees by minimizing potential exposures of non-target insects such as bees.
~
On January 5th, 2016, Health Canada & US Environmental Protection Agency ( US EPA ) released their risk assessments of a neonicotinoid insecticide, IMIDACLOPRID , which showed that Approved Pesticide Product Label directions & rules for foliar & seed-treatments of IMIDACLOPRID should either PREVENT OR LIMIT THE UNACCEPTABLE RISKS to the health of bees.
~
THERE IS NO BEE CRISIS ― a SPECIAL REVIEW shows that there are MINIMAL & ACCEPTABLE RISKS to bee health from neonicotinoid insecticides.
~
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 harming their own hives.

An [ EXTREMIST ] organization that lobbied AGAINST the decision to end Manitoba’s pesticide PROHIBITION agreed with the city staff report that a cosmetic pesticide program should not be added.
~
According to Josh Brandon at [ EXTREMIST-ORGANIZATION ] Cosmetic Pesticide Ban Manitoba ―
~
When you look overall at the IMPACTS OF PESTICIDES on human health [ ?!?! ] , on bio-diversity [ ?!?! ] , on the health of our ecosystems [ ?!?! ] , it doesn’t make sense to be spending money on potentially dangerous [ ?!?! ] chemicals.
~
Brandon said those findings indicate using pesticides to eliminate weeds CAUSES MORE HARM THAN GOOD [ ?!?! ] .
~
According to [ EXTREMIST ] Brandon ―
~
There’s no scientific basis for saying that dandelions on a boulevard are a problem. [ ?!?! ]
~
This is a cultural preference that’s been created in our society.

CATASTROPHIC CARNAGE !
~
~
Manitoba had empowered itself to arbitrarily prohibit safe & effective conventional pest control products by arbitrarily declaring them as cosmetic, non-essential, unnecessary, & illegal.
~
Additionally, with extreme bias & total prejudice, the [ RADICAL ] Manitoba NDP government of the time had endorsed PHONY & INFERIOR & INEFFECTIVE GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES , like Fiesta herbicide, that WILL NOT WORK.
~
Manitoba’s extremist actions were NOT based on any scientific evidence, but rather, they were driven by agenda, ideology, politics, propaganda, & fake-news.
~
Its prohibition had become a HARMFUL & DISMAL FAILURE since it has WREAKED HAVOC WITH …
~
• CATASTROPHIC CARNAGE OF PESTICIDE-USER BUSINESSES THAT HAD SUFFERED FROM BANRUPTCY & FAILURE
~
• CATASTROPHIC PEST & ECOLOGICAL CARNAGE OF URBAN LANDSCAPES DUE TO UNCONTROLLED WEED INVASIONS
~
• CATASTROPHIC FINANCIAL CARNAGE OF WEAKENED COMMUNITIES
~
Curiously, Manitoba municipalities have routinely circumvented prohibition by taking advantage of EXCEPTION STATUSES that are INCONSISTENT & UNFAIR .
~
Overall, the public DOES NOT require Manitoba’s protection from so-called cosmetic pesticides.

OCFP’S HATE-ASSESSMENTS AGAINST PESTICIDES !
~
~
~
OCFP’s Literature Review
~
~
Ontario College of Family Physicians ( OCFP ) is a DISCREDITED, RADICAL, & SCIENTIFICALLY-IGNORANT organization that has been INDIRECTLY OPERATING as a PUBLIC INFORMATION SHIELD THAT DISPENSES HATE-ASSESSMENTS to support the anti-pesticide campaigns of other environmental-extremist-organizations, like Canadian Cancer Society & Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, as well as Liberal & New Democrat governments.
~
In 2004, OCFP, with Margaret Sanborn, CONSPIRED with many other environmental-extremist organizations to impose HATE-ASSESSMENTS against Health-Canada-approved pest control products.
~
It CONCOCTED a VALUELESS & DISCREDITED « LITERATURE REVIEW » that ALLEGED having 140 STUDIES THAT ARE UNDISCLOSED, NON-EXISTENT, & UNVERIFIABLE SECRET EVIDENCE about the safety of pest control products.
~
OCFP is one of the DESTROYERS of the lawn care industry because it SUBVERSIVELY CONSPIRED , with Liberal & New Democrat governments, against Health-Canada-approved products that are DESPERATELY-NEEDED to protect the urban landscape.
~
OCFP has mercilessly terrжrized, baselessly-smeared, falsely-accused, grotesquely-punished, innocently-convicted, shamelessly-persecuted, & wrongfully-deprived those people working in the professional lawn care industry.
~
OCFP DESTROYED the professional lawn care industry by CHERRY-PICKING a handful of studies which were VALUELESS .
~
In fact, there is NOT ONE KNOWN ILLNESS & NOT ONE DEATH from the proper use of pest control products used in urban landscape.
~
~
~
OCFP’s Attacks Against Health Canada
~
~
How could OCFP provide ASSESSMENTS that has somehow been withheld from the entire world ?!?!
~
Does OCFP realize that its ASSESSMENTS are based upon a mere 140 studies is somewhat VALUELESS ?!?!
~
By contrast, pest control products like 2,4-D herbicide have been the subject of over 40,000 STUDIES .
~
40,000 !
~
Furthermore, since 1988, The Industry Task Force II on 2,4-D Research Data has submitted to US Environmental Protection Agency ( US EPA ) over 250 STUDIES concerning mammalian & environmental toxicology, environmental fate & residues.
~
2,4-D is probably THE MOST STUDIED & BEST UNDERSTOOD of any chemical ― not just pesticide ― in existence.
~
Even Canadian Cancer Society has STATED REPEATEDLY that scientific research DOES NOT PROVIDE A CONCLUSIVE LINK between pest control products & cancer.
~
The SCIENTIFIC-ASSESSMENT of pest control products indicates that they are PRACTICALLY-NON-TOXIC when used properly in the urban landscape.
~
In essence, OCFP’s assessments are actually HATE-ASSESSMENTS designed to ATTACK & DISCREDIT Health Canada & its approval of conventional pest control products.
~
~
~
Real Studies Overwhelmingly Show
That Pesticides Are Scientifically-Safe
~
~
US Environmental Protection Agency ( US EPA ), Health Canada, & other science-based national regulatory agencies have clearly demonstrated that pest control products used in the urban landscape are LESS TOXIC THAN ― • Aspirin • baking soda • caffeine • cannabis • nicotine • table salt • Tylenol .
~
Additionally, these products are NO MORE TOXIC THAN ― • ethanol ( an edible beverage constituent in beer, wine, & other intoxicating beverages ) • mouthwash ( Listerine ) • Vitamin C .
~
The SCIENTIFIC-ASSESSMENT of pest control products proves that they are scientifically-safe, practically non-toxic, will cause NO harm, will NOT cause cancer, & will NOT cause irreversible damage if consumed orally.
~
The probable lethal dose for a person ingesting the concentrated form of many of these products is ONE LITRE , the volume of an entire milk carton.
~
By comparison, drinking SIX LITRES of water, a fluid that is seemingly harmless, can lead to water poisoning or dilutional hyponatremia, which is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain functions.
~
In essence, water is only FIVE TIMES SAFER than many of these products.
~
The SCIENTIFIC-ASSESSMENT of pest control products indicate that they will NOT CAUSE HARM TO PEOPLE, ANIMALS, OR THE ENVIRONMENT ― they are SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE .
~
~
~
OCFP’s Authors & Reviewers
~
~
OCFP is a mere trade association, & NOT a science, NOT a research, & NOT a health organization.
~
What is OCFP’s problem with pesticides ?!?!?!
~
OCFP’s « LITERATURE REVIEW » was a HATE-ASSESSMENT against pesticides.
~
OCFP’s « LITERATURE REVIEW » has been considered VALUELESS because many of the PAID-FOR-PROFIT authors & reviewers were UNETHICAL, UNPROFESSIONAL, & / OR INSUFFICIENTLY-EDUCATED ―
~
• Not a single author or reviewer had any recognized training, education, or background in matters concerning pest control products.
~
• An author-doctor was found guilty of professional mis-conduct over sexual activities.
~
• An author-doctor was no longer able to practice medicine because his license was suspended.
~
• Some doctors, who were credited as reviewers, have denied ever having reviewed the document.
~
The OCFP’s « LITERATURE REVIEW » is INARGUABLY DISCREDITED .
~
~
OCFP Has Not Been In The Information Loop
~
~
OCFP’s « LITERATURE REVIEW » WAS NOT A SERIOUS SCIENTIFIC ASSESSMENT ― it was a HATE-ASSESSMENT against pesticides.
~
OCFP conducted a mere literature review, which means it could only use those studies found in the ON-LINE PUBLIC LITERATURE / OPEN INTERNET ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB .
~
Furthermore, OCFP has been RIDICULOUSLY IMPLYING that its NON-EXPERT ASSESSMENT of these studies is somehow being withheld from Health Canada & EVERY other regulatory agency in the world.
~
In defiance of OCFP, INDISPUTABLE & CONCLUSIVE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH shows that, as reported through Health Canada’s VAST TOXICOLOGY DATABASE , NO HARM WILL OCCUR when pest control products are used according to label directions.
~
OCFP has NOT been in « THE INFORMATION LOOP » on issues regarding pest control products, & has NEVER availed itself of the EXTENSIVE TOXICOLOGY DATABASE that is available from Health Canada & its « READING ROOM » .
~
The authors & reviewers of OCFP’s « LITERATURE REVIEW » were not only SCIENTIFICALLY-IGNORANT , they were also LAZY & STUPID .
~
Clearly, they prefer CONCOCTING HATE-ASSESSMENTS against Health-Canada-approved products.

Before Manitoba’s Prohibition, Conventional
Pesticides Used To Work Quite Well For
Controlling Dandelions & They Affected
Both Top-Growth & Root-Growth

After Prohibition, Green Alternative
Pesticides Only Affected Top-Growth

Media Report ―
~
~
It’s a SEA OF YELLOW ― and then white ― popping up across Winnipeg boulevards and parks.
~
Winnipeg’s dandelions have arguably become STEADILY WORSE since the province banned [ IE PROHIBITED ] herbicides for cosmetic purposes five years ago.
~
Several local parks are now MORE DANDELION THAN GRASS .
~
Emily Bielik-Cran said she enjoys taking care of her front lawn, but when it comes to mowing the grass beside her house, and the dandelions that come with it, it’s a hassle.
~
According to Bielik-Cran ―
~
We never used to have these dandelions here …
~
… they are getting worse each year.
~
I was telling my husband we have to get our own poison because it’s going to come onto our lawn.
~
In 2014, the [ RADICAL ] Manitoba NDP government PROHIBITED against [ SO-CALLED ] cosmetic pesticides used to fight weeds like dandelions.
~
But on the campaign trail in 2016, the Progressive Conservatives promised to launch a REVIEW of that legislation [ IE PROHIBITION ] .
~
However, the results are not yet in.
~
The provincial government declined an on-camera interview, but provided Global News with this statement ―
~
The government is committed to legislation that balances safe, useable, and aesthetic green spaces while protecting human health and the environment.
~
The regulation of cosmetic pesticides is under REVIEW to determine whether or not any amendments are necessary to achieve those legislative objectives.
~
It’s similar to a statement provided to Global News about the issue in May 2018.
~
Most of the eco-friendly products [ AKA GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES ] around now burn the leaves off the dandelion, but do not get deep enough to the root to kill the entire plant, said one Winnipeg expert.
~
According to Ken Land at St Mary’s Nursery & Garden Centre ―
~
Since the ban went in place, the older products [ AKA CONVENTIONAL PESTICIDES ] used to work quite well for controlling dandelions and they would kill the root of the plant.
~
The newer products [ AKA GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES ] are top-growth control.
~
The province said it continues to have discussions with various parties and that any modifications to the ban [ IE PROHIBITION ] would be carefully considered.

ORGANIC MAINTENANCE & GREEN ALTERNATIVES !
~
~
In the 9|11 era, pesticide-hating doctrine is a failure because of MEDIEVAL & INEECTIVE organic pesticide-free maintenance of turfgrasses.
~
HARMFUL-PROHIBITIONS are FAILURES because of PHONY, INFERIOR, INEFFECTIVE, & UNAFFORDABLE GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES , including bio-pesticides & non-synthetic pesticides.
~
GREEN ALTERNATIVES cannot replace effective & no-risk conventional products.
~
On urban playing surfaces, practices that rely on GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES will NOT be able to provide GOOD-QUALITY PLAYING CONDITIONS & AESTHETICS .
~
It will be IMPOSSIBLE to protect urban green spaces from damaging pests by relying on GREEN ALTERNATIVES which are PHONY, INFERIOR, & INEFFECTIVE , with questionably higher toxicity & with higher environmental risks.
~
Those who use urban green spaces DO NOT need additional PROTECTION by imposing the GREEN ALTERNATIVE nonsense.
~
Nevertheless, conventional products can be used safely & will cause no harm to human health & the environment.
~
Nonetheless, TOTAL-HATE-TERRЖR against conventional products will never end !

MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE organic maintenance programs have been AN UNAFFORDABLE MENACE & AN EXPENSIVE FAILURE .
~
There are NO successful practices for these programs ― they are MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE .
~
Whenever HARMFUL-PROHIBITION is imposed, GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES are incorporated into the maintenance programs ― not because they work ― but because the rules & legislation will overwhelmingly & unfairly favour these products.
~
When it comes to HARMFUL-PROHIBITION against no-risk conventional products, state, municipal, & county officials are THINKING TWICE about banning these products by looking at the ORGANIC MENACE that is DOOMED-TO-FAIL .
~
There are NO successful practices for organic pesticide-free programs, only DISMAL FAILURES that are promoted by extremists with unverifiable success stories.
~
Overall, organic pesticide-free programs that rely on GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES will be UNABLE to provide effective & economical pest control.
~
This is because these ALTERNATIVES are PHONY, INFERIOR, INEFFECTIVE, & UNAFFORDABLE , & will NEVER adequately control infestations of recurring invasive weeds, destructive insects, & harmful diseases.
~
They will NEVER REDUCE & NEVER ELIMINATE the need for no-risk conventional pest control products.

In all cases, ALTERNATIVES WILL NEVER, EVER, WORK .

A SEA OF YELLOW is blanketing boulevards and lawns across Manitoba as the provincial Conservative government decides what to do about a pesticide ban [ IE HARMFUL-PROHIBITION ] it promised to REVIEW years ago.
~
In 2014, the [ RADICAL ] Manitoba NDP government banned [ IE PROHIBITED ] cosmetic pesticides used to fight weeds like dandelions.
~
At the time, the province said the ban [ IE HARMFUL-PROHIBITION ] was in the best interests of the health of Manitobans [ WRONG ! ] and of the environment [ WRONG ! ] .
~
But on the campaign trail in 2016, the Progressive Conservatives launched a REVIEW of that legislation.
~
It wrapped that same year, but in 2018, the results still are not in.
~
While Manitobans wait, they walk past THOUSANDS OF DANDELIONS on city property and in almost every yard in the city.
~
MANY RESIDENTS HAVE EXPRESSED THEIR FRUSTRATION OVER HAVING TO USE [ GREEN ALTERNATIVE ] PESTICIDES THEY BELIEVE ARE TOO EXPENSIVE AND NOT EFFECTIVE ENOUGH.
~
Winnipegger Jeannette Delorme SPENDS HOURS digging up the weeds on her St Vital property every spring and fall, filling entire buckets with dandelions.
~
According to Delorme ―
~
They’re never ending.
~
They’ll come and there’s no way you can eradicate it.
~
Absolutely no way.
~
Delorme installed a rock garden over her front lawn to help keep the weeds off of her property, but on May 28th, 2018, she was still out with tools making sure all of the dandelions were gone.
~
According to Delorme ―
~
The weeds are going to take over if you let them, but you just have to keep at it and keep pulling and keep chopping.
~
It’s a lot of elbow grease.
~
But good news could be on the way for those who want to see less yellow and white this summer ― on May 28th, 2018, Minister of Sustainable Development Rochelle Squires said to expect the delayed announcement about pesticides soon.
~
According to Minister Squires ―
~
We need to talk to retailers, consumer applicators, and to ensure that the environmental integrity is being maintained.
~
Progress is being made but it’s important that we get it right.
~
The province said it continues to have discussions with various parties and that any modifications to the ban would be carefully considered.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to keep Manitoba’s urban environment well-maintained, safe, & attractive with Fiesta or any other green alternative.

When the province of Manitoba rescinds prohibition, it will join the TREND with over 70 other jurisdictions that have stopped or rescinded or limited or have begun to repeal harmful-prohibitions, or have granted commercial businesses with exception statuses.

Media Release ―
~
~
The Manitoba Conservative government has passed legislation AMENDING the Environment Act TO GIVE MANITOBANS THE CHOICE TO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE AND USE COSMETIC PESTICIDES ON THEIR LAWNS THAT ARE ALREADY REGISTERED WITH HEALTH CANADA and, out of an abundance of caution, the list of SENSITIVE AREAS that would be PROTECTED from the application of these products has been EXPANDED , Environment, Climate, and Parks Minister Jeff Wharton announced today.
~
According to Minister Wharton ―
~
Our government is committed to PROTECTING the environment and we RELY ON SCIENCE to inform the proper use of cosmetic pesticides.
~
We recognize Health Canada as the FOREMOST EXPERT in this field to evaluate pesticides used in Manitoba.
~
Pesticides REGISTERED with Health Canada go through a RIGOROUS REVIEW PROCESS that assesses the risk of pesticides to human health, animal health, and the environment, and must meet STRICT HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES .
~
Manitoba will continue to RELY ON HEALTH CANADA to evaluate pesticide products, and all pesticides sold and used in Manitoba must be FEDERALLY-REGISTERED under the Pest Control Products Act.
~
Manitoba still has the STRICTEST PESTICIDE REGULATIONS among the Prairie provinces by PROHIBITING cosmetic pesticide use in SENSITIVE AREAS , the minister noted.
~
According to Minister Wharton ―
~
By expanding the list of SENSITIVE AREAS , our government continues to PROTECT CHILDREN AND PETS , while keeping communities safe and minimizing environmental impact.
~
These PROTECTED AREAS include schools, hospitals, child-care centres, provincial parks, designated municipal picnic areas, playgrounds, and dog parks.
~
To understand better the experience of Manitobans with previous cosmetic pesticide restrictions, which were put in place in 2015, the Manitoba government launched a PUBLIC CONSULTATION .
~
More than 60 per cent of respondents indicated restrictions on the sale and usage of pesticides for cosmetic use were TOO STRICT , and over 70 per cent of respondents WANTED RESTRICTIONS REDUCED OR RESCINDED .
~
Municipalities have reported the previous approach ADDED UNNECESSARY COSTS because of REPEATED APPLICATIONS .
~
Municipalities and other stake-holders asked for GREATER FLEXIBILITY to have USEABLE AESTHETIC GREEN SPACES in communities, noted Wharton.
~
The legislation ALLOWS the use of all Health-Canada-REGISTERED cosmetic pesticides in LOW-RISK AREAS like boulevards, sidewalks, right-of-ways, and fairgrounds.
~
Manitobans will also have the ability to apply all pesticides REGISTERED with Health Canada on their lawns.
~
According to Kam Blight, president at Association of Manitoba Municipalities ―
~
The Association of Manitoba Municipalities welcomes the Manitoba government’s decision to ALIGN with federal regulations and RIGOROUS REVIEW PROCESSES at Health Canada.
~
These legislative changes will ALLOW municipalities to EFFECTIVELY MANAGE weed control programs while MITIGATING FINANCIAL PRESSURES on municipal budgets.
~
According to Chad Labbe, president at Manitoba Nursery Landscape Association ―
~
Our GREEN SPACES CONTRIBUTE TO OUR QUALITY OF LIFE AND PRODUCE ENORMOUS ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS , but are continually threatened by extreme climate conditions and invasive species.
~
It is essential as green industry professionals, that we have CHOICES when selecting the best products available to protect these valuable landscapes.
~
The new regulations will encourage innovation and ALLOW more options when deciding how to deal with pests that threaten our landscapes.
~
Health Canada can initiate a SPECIAL REVIEW at any time if and when new research emerges that identifies risks from pesticides where there is reasonable grounds to believe that health or environmental risks, or the value of a pesticide are no longer acceptable, the minister noted.
~
When using pesticides and chemicals, consumers should follow directions and only use products for intended purposes, the minister added.

THE BENEFITS OF GREEN SPACES !
~
~
Turfgrasses & ornamental plants are tremendous economic assets that provide vital green spaces that enhance our community’s beauty & overall healthy state.
~
Here are some of the benefits of well-maintained turfgrasses ―
~
• A healthy green space will reduce noise pollution.
~
• A landscape with healthy trees & lawns will cool & clean the air we breathe.
~
• A nicely landscaped yard will add value to the property by as much as 25 per cent.
~
• A thick healthy lawn will prevent soil erosion.
~
• A vigorous lawn will filter surface water & will return it back to the water table.
~
• A well-maintained landscape will make us feel good.
~
• An attractive landscape will be pleasing to the eye.
~
The golf course superintendents & landscape care professionals are THE PLANET’S GREAT CONSERVATIONISTS .
~
We must promote & defend the green space maintenance industries, whatever the cost may be !

~
On Earth Day, the [ RADICAL ] Manitoba NDP government announced they will delay Bill 22, which would LIFT THE BAN [ IE RESCIND PROHIBITION ] on harmful [ ?!!?!! ] chemical pesticides, putting the health of families and the future of sustainable businesses at risk [ WRONG ! ] .
~
According to [ EXTREMIST ] NDP critic for the environment and climate change, Lisa Naylor ―
~
Delaying this bill is a no-brainer. [ ?!!?!! ]
~
We are using our power as the Official Opposition to protect PROTECT CHILDREN and communities from pesticides. [ WRONG ! ]
~
Bill 22, the Environment Amendment Act ( Pesticide Restrictions ), would REVERSE THE BAN on the use of dangerous [ ?!!?!! ] chemical pesticides on residential lawns that was first implemented by the NDP in 2014.
~
The [ RADICAL ] NDP government bill banned dozens of chemicals from use on residential lawns and the grounds of schools, hospitals and child care centres.
~
It also mandated pesticide sellers comply with regulations.
~
The CONSERVATIVE ’s bill would deregulate the sale of pesticides.
~
Emergency room [ EXTREMIST ] doctor Paul Doucet commended [ ?!!?!! ] the NDP for delaying the bill.
~
According to Doucet ―
~
THE SCIENCE IS CLEAR . [ ?!!?!! ]
~
PESTICIDES ARE HARMFUL TO CHILDREN’S HEALTH [ WRONG ! ] and increases their risk of serious diseases like cancer [ WRONG ! ] .

I was proud to stand to stand with the NDP in 2014 when they chose to PROTECT KIDS [ ?!!?!! ] and the health of communities [ ?!!?!! ] .
~
I’m disappointed that this PC government would take such a dangerous [ ?!!?!! ] step backwards.

Local [ EXTREMIST ] natural cider-maker Jesse Oberman said he opposes the bill because it puts his company at risk [ ?!!?!! ] .
~
According to Oberman ―
~
My company relies on foraged fruit from communities.
~
My business is built on the assumption that this fruit is clean and safe, but the PCs bill puts that at risk. [ ?!!?!! ]
~
I’m glad to see the NDP delaying this bill ― it’s the right thing to do [ WRONG ! ] to keep people healthy [ ?!!?!! ] and support local organic businesses [ ?!!?!! ] like mine.
~
NDP [ EXTREMIST ] leader Wab Kinew argued that the PC bill goes against the will of Manitobans.

According to Kinew ―
~
I know Manitobans want to make our province cleaner and healthier ― this bill sets us back [ WRONG ! ] .
~
It’s BAD FOR KIDS [ WRONG ! ] and families [ WRONG ! ] and bad for small business [ WRONG ! ] .
~
[ CHILDREN ARE NOT AT RISK ! ]
~
Our team [ IE THE RADICAL NDP ] is committed to building a brighter future for everyone in Manitoba.

Weed Pests, & Will Be Completely Safe

~

Background Information
~
THE SCIENCE SHOWS PESTICIDES ARE SELECTIVE & SAFE !
~
~
Pest control products used in the urban landscape will SELECTIVELY & EFFECTIVELY control disease, insect, & weed pests, but are completely safe for other non-target organisms ― they do not injure turfgrasses, & 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 & natural substances that may impact human health, but will cause NO HARM in small doses ( example, low levels of naturally-occurring cyanide in almonds ), & 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 & by US Environmental Protection Agency ( US EPA ) to ensure that they are SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE when used properly.

Background Information
~
CHILDREN ARE NOT AT RISK !
~
~
No one needs to worry about children, & even pets, playing on pesticide-treated grass.
~
This is because all pest control products are federally-approved, scientifically-safe, practically-non-toxic, & will cause no harm, even to children, & even to pets.
~
They represent no-actual-risk-of-harm.
~
It is a myth that children, & pets, are somehow at greater risk from exposure than adults because they play closer to the ground & their bodies are still developing.
~
According to Health Canada & US EPA, there are no unacceptable risks for children & pets.
~
The safety assessments of pest control products by Health Canada & US EPA DO take children & pets into consideration.
~
These assessments DO consider children’s & pet’s physiology, behaviours, & habits while playing on treated grass.
~
Typically, for all pest control products needed for professional lawn care maintenance, the government-approved labels state « KEEP PEOPLE OFF TREATED AREA UNTIL FOLIAGE IS DRY » .
~
The same can be said for the vast majority of pest control products needed to protect golf courses.

Media Release ―
~
~
Manitoba needs to follow good science and not give into ideological environmentalists who value knee-jerk emotionalism over positive outcomes.
~
Case in point is the province’s SENSIBLE DECISION to LIFT THE BAN [ IE RESCIND PROHIBITION ] , at least partially, on cosmetic pesticides passed by the previous [ RADICAL ] NDP government back in 2014.
~
Cosmetic pesticides are pesticides used to control weeds and make private lawns and grassy areas visually appealing.
~
The current Conservative government INTENDED TO LIFT THE BAN on cosmetic pesticides on private lawns and some other designated municipal parks and fields.
~
Its bill would have continued to ban pesticides around schools, child-care centres, hospitals, municipal playgrounds, and provincial parks.
~
The [ RADICAL ] opposition NDP used its legislative privileges to delay the bill until the fall session as they are permitted to do so for a handful of bills.
~
However, one wonders why the [ RADICAL ] opposition NDP would not meet the government half-way given that the government’s bill was a compromise.
~
So, from a [ RADICAL ] opposition NDP perspective, they would still be receiving significant concessions from the government for their side.
~
On the areas where the ban would be lifted, there is still a requirement that pesticides would have to be chemical products APPROVED by Health Canada.
~
Thus, there is a safeguard to ensure any chemicals would be APPROVED by Canada’s main health regulator to PROTECT health and environment.
~
Why is the [ RADICAL ] opposition NDP NOT TRUSTING the scientists and regulators at Health Canada ?
~
Doubtless, they trust them in many other areas when it comes to health of Canadians.
~
So, why is the [ RADICAL ] opposition NDP willing to die on this hill ?
~
Despite the popularity of cosmetic pesticide bans [ IE PROHIBITION ] across Canada, A COMPREHENSIVE SCAN OF SCIENTIFIC REVIEWS [ BY OCFP’S LITERATURE REVIEW ?!?! ] shows the negative link [ WRONG ! ] between these pesticides and human health and environment to be VERY INCONCLUSIVE AND TENUOUS at best [ ?!?! ] .
~
If there were significant effects, Health Canada would not even be approving certain products for use on lawns.
~
So, there is NO COMPELLING POLICY RATIONALE for a broad-based ban [ IE PROHIBITION ] on cosmetic pesticides.
~
It is a pet cause among [ RADICAL ] ideological environmentalists who often adopt positions that involve PLACING THE PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE ON STEROIDS .
~
They have an ABSOLUTIST POSITION ON CHEMICALS THAT IS ABOUT EMOTION NOT SCIENCE .
~
Dying on this hill is a concession to the ideological environmentalist wing of the [ RADICAL ] provincial NDP, and is also a concession to a tiny handful of fearful businesses who worry pesticides will affect their livelihood, and to good old-fashioned NIMBYISM at its finest.
~
~
[ NIMBYISM ― the practice of objecting to something that will affect one or take place in one’s locality. ]
~
~
People worried ― without empirical data ― that what you are doing on your lawn will affect their children.
~
The [ RADICAL ] opposition NDP is also taking advantage of a HEIGHTENED CLIMATE OF FEAR over health engendered by the pandemic policy environment.

INVALIDATED PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE !
~
~
Manitoba’s anti-pesticide version of the so-called PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE is absolutist, misused, vacuous, & is simply another malicious weapon of pesticide-hating doctrine & science-hating fanatжcism concocted by anti-pesticide extremists.
~
As everyone knows, relying upon the PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE is worthless.
~
Better safe than sorry ?!?!
~
Really ?!?!
~
The sacred 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 anti-pesticide & environmental-extremists.
~
It has been INVALIDATED .

OCFP’S LITERATURE REVIEW !
~
~
In 2004, Ontario College of Family Physicians ( OCFP ) CONSPIRED with many other environmental-extremist organizations to CONCOCT a « LITERATURE REVIEW » designed to ATTACK & DISCREDIT Health Canada & its approval of conventional pest control products.
~
OCFP is a mere trade association ― it is NOT a science, NOT a research, & NOT a health organization.
~
OCFP’s « LITERATURE REVIEW » consisted of a mere 140 STUDIES that have somehow been withheld from the entire world [ ?!?! ] .
~
OCFP CHERRY-PICKED a handful of studies which were VALUELESS .
~
In defiance of OCFP, INDISPUTABLE & CONCLUSIVE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH shows that, as reported through Health Canada’s VAST TOXICOLOGY DATABASE , NO HARM WILL OCCUR when pest control products are used according to label directions.
~
For example, pest control products like 2,4-D herbicide have been the subject of over 40,000 STUDIES .
~
2,4-D is probably THE MOST STUDIED & BEST UNDERSTOOD of any chemical ― not just pesticide ― in existence.
~
Furthermore, since 1988, The Industry Task Force II on 2,4-D Research Data has submitted to US Environmental Protection Agency ( US EPA ) over 250 STUDIES concerning mammalian & environmental toxicology, environmental fate & residues.
~
Additionally, the SCIENTIFIC-ASSESSMENT of pest control products indicate that they will NOT CAUSE HARM TO PEOPLE, ANIMALS, OR THE ENVIRONMENT ― they are SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE when used properly in the urban landscape.
~
In fact, there is NOT ONE KNOWN ILLNESS & NOT ONE DEATH from the proper use of pest control products used in urban landscape.
~
OCFP’s « LITERATURE REVIEW » WAS NOT A SERIOUS SCIENTIFIC ASSESSMENT ― & has been INARGUABLY DISCREDITED as a mere HATE-ASSESSMENT against Health-Canada-approved products.

Because Of Manitoba’s Harmful-Prohibition,

Manitoba’s Harmful-Prohibition Has Forced
Municipalities To Use Ineffective Green
Alternatives Like Fiesta Herbicide In Much
Higher Quantities To Have Any Effect ―
Causing More Environmental Hazards
~
See below
~
~
~
Media Release ―
~
~
As a result of this shotgun marriage of convenience between environmental ideologues, frightened business interests, and scared suburbanites, municipalities across Manitoba are facing SKY-ROCKETING COSTS FROM USING INEFFECTIVE AND PRICEY CHEMICALS [ IE GREEN ALTERNATIVES LIKE FIESTA HERBICIDE ] to control noxious weeds and beautify their communities.
~
In fact, this policy ironically might have unintended consequence of DAMAGING THE ENVIRONMENT MORE by forcing municipalities to use INEFFECTIVE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS [ AKA GREEN ALTERNATIVES LIKE FIESTA HERBICIDE ] IN MUCH HIGHER QUANTITIES TO HAVE ANY EFFECTS ― CAUSING MORE ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS than the original [ IE CONVENTIONAL PRODUCT ] which would have been allowed with the use of Health-Canada-approved chemicals.
~
But environmentalists, and political parties beholden to environmentalists, IGNORE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES IN THEIR POLICY CALCULUS .
~
THEY VALUE SYMBOLIC POLITICS AND EMOTIONALISM OVER GOOD OUTCOMES .
~
As soon as possible, THE MANITOBA GOVERNMENT MUST RE-INTRODUCE THE BILL AND SIDE WITH SENSIBLE, FACT-BASED POLICY .

FAILURE OF INFERIOR FIESTA GREEN ALTERNATIVE !
~
~
Fiesta herbicide is a PHONY, INFERIOR, INEFFECTIVE, & STUNNINGLY EXPENSIVE GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDE that is somehow expected to replace three-way conventional phenoxy turf herbicides, such as Killex, Par III, & others that contain the active ingredient 2,4-D.
~
Only the use of conventional herbicides has been shown to be effective against broad-leaved weeds ― & not Fiesta ― their applications are NO-RISK, LOW-RATE, SAFE, & EFFECTIVE .
~
By comparison, Fiesta is PHONY & INFERIOR & INEFFECTIVE & EXORBITANT when compared to single-applications of three-way herbicides that contain 2,4-D.
~
The vast majority of Fiesta users OVERWHELMINGLY CONDEMN IT .
~
In fact, quite often, observers believe it would be better to do NOTHING rather than use Fiesta herbicide.
~
Fiesta herbicide ( aka Scotts EcoSense & Weed-B-Gon ) is a primary reason for the REPEATED FAILURES of provincial & municipal PROHIBITIONS imposed against conventional pest control products used in the urban landscape.
~
With the adoption of these RECKLESS, ARBITRARY, & DOOMED-TO-FAIL PROHIBITIONS , professionals & residents are being forced to rely on this INFERIOR green alternative herbicide.
~
In order to validate their PROHIBITIONS , government officials have been perpetuating the fake-news myth that a single application of Fiesta herbicide, a PHONY & INFERIOR & INEFFECTIVE & EXORBITANT green alternative herbicide, can successfully replace conventional products such as Killex & Par III.
~
This is WRONG !
~
In fact, Fiesta CANNOT be used to validate ANY prohibition.
~
Fiesta is INFERIOR !

The Complete Media History
~
~
~
Summary ―
~
~
Government officials are no longer readily jumping in favour of RECKLESS, ARBITRARY, & DOOMED-TO-FAIL PROHIBITIONS .
~
It is clear that pesticide-hating fanatжcs conspire to impose HARMFUL-PROHIBITIONS in order to DESTROY our urban green space environments, such as PLAYING SURFACES used by CHILDREN .
~
According to government officials, PROHIBITION will make green spaces AESTHETICALLY DIFFERENT .
~
In other words, residents had better get used to living in an urban landscape that LOOKS LIKE A PEST-INFESTED & DANGEROUS GARBAGE DUMP .
~
In essence, residents have been told to PUT-UP-&-SHUT-UP !
~
Unfortunately, it is IMPOSSIBLE to keep PLAYING SURFACES well-maintained, safe, & attractive without conventional pest control products.
~
Without these products, PLAYING SURFACES are DESTROYED ― they become thin & yellow, invaded by weeds, & infested with insects.
~
With HARMFUL-PROHIBITIONS , the safety & appearance of PLAYING SURFACES are jeopardized with CATASTROPHIC ECOLOGICAL CARNAGE & PEST DISASTERS due to uncontrolled & dangerous insects like white grubs, & from invasive & dangerous weeds like dandelions.
~
With weed invasions & insect infestations, safe turf PLAYING SURFACES are DESTROYED ― CHILDREN are at HIGH-RISK of slipping & tripping & becoming seriously hurt.
~
In essence, pest control products prevent harm & keep CHILDREN safe from injuries.
~
There are over 70 jurisdictions that have STOPPED or RESCINDED or LIMITED or have begun to REPEAL HARMFUL-PROHIBITIONS , or have granted commercial businesses with an EXCEPTION STATUS .
