Pesticide-Hating Doctrine &
Science-Denying Fanatжcism

~

In the 9|11 era of enviro-terrжr, the turf industry has faced a pesticide-hating doctrine & science-denying fanatжcism, with terrжr that never ends & carnage that leads to catastrophic prohibition against no-risk conventional pest control products. 

Anti-pesticide prohibition unleashed a catastrophic carnage of unemployment, bankruptcy, & business failure   ―   prohibition destroyed the professional lawn care industry. 

Prohibiting conventional products has inflicted catastrophic ecological carnage of urban landscapes, where playing surfaces become garbage dumps over-run with uncontrolled invasive weeds & destructive insects   ―   pesticide bans have never made our green spaces look so #@!!% ugly.  

Green alternative pesticides are responsible for the catastrophic ecological carnage of urban landscapes   ―   organic pesticide-free maintenance has been a failure because it is medieval & ineffective.

After the imposition of prohibitions, municipalities & residents endure catastrophic financial carnage in the form of stunningly exorbitant costs of maintenance   ―   who can afford this #@!!% ban nonsense ?!?! 

Science-denying extremists have been despicably exploiting children as weapons of coercion in order to manipulate the public on the supposed necessity of prohibition, when, in fact, the use of no-risk conventional products would actually prevent children from falling & hurting themselves on playing surfaces   ―   kids are at high risk because dangerous playing surfaces are created by #@!!% pesticide bans.   

The owners, employees, & families dependent on professional lawn care businesses have been vulnerable against extremists since the 1980s. 

And all others in the turf industry, including golf, are considered just as vulnerable   ―   there are critical issues that must be addressed by the golf industry.  

And now golf courses too are facing enviro-terrжr that never ends. 

Nevertheless, the turf industry has been striking back & taking action against anti-pesticide & environmental terrжrism. 

The turf industry has scored tremendous victories against enviro-extremists while establishing real trends against pesticide bans.

Victories Against Prohibitions

Failures Of Pesticide-Hating Bans  ―  

~

There are continental trends ( i.e. throughout North America ) against the conspiracy to impose harmful-prohibitions against no-risk conventional pest control products needed to protect the urban landscape. 

The failures of pesticide-hating bans are not only part of trends, but they also represent victories against these prohibitions.  

Prohibitions will be failures since it is impossible to keep turfgrass surfaces well-maintained, safe, & attractive without conventional products.  

Without these products, playing surfaces will be destroyed quickly   ―   they become thin & yellow, invaded by weeds & infested with insects.  

As a consequence of the failures of pesticide-hating bans, many jurisdictions have   —    •   Defeated prohibitions   •   Discarded prohibitions   •   Ended prohibitions   •   Rescinded prohibitions   •   Reversed prohibitions    •   or Stopped prohibitions.

Failures To Invoke Total Pesticide-Hating Bans  ―   

~

All prohibitions are pesticide-hating bans that can never be based upon science.  

If prohibitions were based upon science, then there would nothing but total bans.  

However, there are nothing but failures when attempts are made to invoke total bans. 

The failures to invoke total pesticide-hating bans represent victories against the conspiracy to impose harmful-prohibitions against no-risk conventional pest control products needed to protect the urban landscape.  

The failure to invoke total bans will inevitably lead to more limited prohibitions.  

Limited prohibitions are viewed as stepping-stones towards total bans.  

~

Contradictory Prohibitions  ―   

~

Overall, there are no successful total bans, only contradictory ones. 

Contradictory prohibitions are contradictory by nature since there is always a failure to justify bans that are purely based upon pesticide-hatred.  

Their imposition implies that that certain pesticide uses are somehow safer than others, a notion that cannot be defended by science.  

Nonetheless, even contradictory prohibitions represent victories, of sorts, against the conspiracy to impose harmful-prohibitions.  

~

~

Victories Against Prohibitions

Failures To Justify Pesticide-Hating Bans  ―   

~

Government officials will always fail to justify pesticide-hating bans because their motivation is pure pesticide-hatred. 

In the long term, these officials will fail to get main-stream support for their pesticide-hating bans.  

The best they can do is impose contradictory prohibitions.

While imposing their contradictory prohibitions   —   banning some pesticide uses but not others through arbitrary exceptions   —   officials cannot stop the public from realizing that deliberate mis-information & propaganda will be concocted about the imaginary danger of conventional pest control products. 

This explains why officials fail to justify pesticide-hating bans which represent victories, of sorts, against the conspiracy to impose harmful-prohibitions.

Victories Against Prohibitions

Partial Prohibitions On Government-Owned Properties Only  ―   

~

The simplest contradictory prohibitions are those that are partial & self-imposed on government-owned properties only.  

Partial prohibitions will not be imposed on any other type of turfgrass, such as home lawns.  

Partial prohibitions will not adversely affect lawn care businesses, & represent victories, of sorts, against the conspiracy to impose harmful-prohibitions.

~ 

Victories Against Prohibitions

Limited Prohibitions  ―   

~

The failure to invoke total bans will inevitably lead to more limited prohibitions, which will be considered as victories, of sorts, against the conspiracy to impose harmful-prohibitions.  

The more complex contradictory prohibitions are those that are limited to one specific type of turfgrass or hard surface & / or one specific type of business   ―   ex :  residential home lawns & / or professional lawn care businesses, which represent less than 2 per cent of all pesticide use.  

Limited prohibitions are discriminatory & unfair since they will rely heavily upon arbitrary exceptions.  

Arbitrary exceptions have represented the best examples of the failures & the ridiculousness of the limited prohibitions against conventional pest control products used to protect the urban landscape. 

~

Victories Against Prohibitions

Arbitrary Exceptions  ―   

~

Arbitrary exceptions have represented the best examples of the failures & the ridiculousness of anti-pesticide prohibition.  

While concocting their arbitrary exceptions   —   prohibiting some uses but not others   —   officials cannot stop the public from realizing that a large quantity of deliberate mis-information & propaganda has been spread about the imaginary danger of conventional pest control products. 

When prohibitions allow arbitrary exceptions, they will be considered as victories, of sorts, against the conspiracy to impose harmful-prohibitions.  

These arbitrary exceptions have been conveniently incorporated into by-laws & regulations in order to allow government officials to circumvent their own prohibitions.  

Most of the time, arbitrary exceptions are necessary for invasive weeds & destructive insects that must be controlled every single year in order to protect the urban environment.  

There should not be any #@!!% arbitrary exceptions whatsoever !  

Arbitrary exceptions have allowed thousands & thousands of inconsistent & unfair pesticide applications, for many reasons & excuses, including those examples of arbitrary exceptions listed below  —   

~

Arbitrary Exceptions  –  Examples  ―   

~

•   Agriculture operations   •   Certified pesticide applicators   •   Commercial properties   •   Destructive insects   •   Forestry operations   •   Fruit gardens   •   Fruit trees   •   Glyphosate herbicide   •   Golf courses   •   Green alternative pesticides   •   Greenhouses   •   Hard-landscapes  *    •   Industrial properties   •   Institutional properties   •   Invasive weeds   •   Lawn bowling clubs   •   Lawn care businesses   •   Lawns that need to be safe for use   •   Municipal-owned properties   •   New lawns  **   •   Pest infestations   •   Public infra-structures   •   Rose gardens   •   Sports fields   •   Urban forests   •   Vegetable gardens   •   & More

*     ex : sidewalks & medians

**   ex : seeded or sodded

Predatory-Permits  ―   

~

In some jurisdictions, these arbitrary exceptions have even allowed the sale of predatory-permits, which will be considered as victories, of sorts, against the conspiracy to impose harmful-prohibitions.  

Predatory-permits grant municipalities the power to legally extort untold thousands of dollars in unjustified profits. 

See examples of predatory-permits are listed below   —

Justifying Pesticides & Protecting The Public  ―   

~

Health Canada ensures victories against the conspiracy to impose harmful-prohibitions against no-risk conventional pest control products needed to protect the urban landscape.  

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 following the Approved Pesticide Product Labels.

Incident Reports are monitored by Health Canada to identify any potential risks to health or the environment from the use of pest control products & to take corrective actions when necessary.

The more serious individual Incident Reports may lead to an official evaluation & action.

Health Canada helps protect the public by researching, assessing, & collaborating in the management of the health risks & safety hazards associated with the many consumer products that are used every day.

It employs over 350 doctorate-level experts & leading scientific experts on pest control products.

Health Canada, & not the irrational pesticide-hating extremists, has the essential expertise & ultimate credibility on pest control products.

Health Canada approves the instruction & safety precautions that appear on the Approved Pesticide Product Labels, which are there to protect human health & the environment.

Continental Trends Against Pesticide-Hating Bans  ―   

~

There are continental trends ( i.e. throughout North America ) against the conspiracy to impose prohibitions & regulations against no-risk pest control products that are need to protect the urban landscape.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to keep turfgrass surfaces well-maintained, safe, & attractive without conventional pest control products.

Without these products, playing surfaces will be destroyed quickly   ―   they become thin & yellow, invaded by weeds & infested with insects.  

Since officials will fail to get main-stream support for their pesticide-hating bans, there are continental trends against their conspiracy to impose prohibition. 

There are over 70 jurisdictions that have stopped or rescinded or limited or have begun to repeal their harmful-prohibitions, or have granted commercial businesses with an exception status, or have provided thousands & thousands of exceptions.  

These continental trends may also include contradictory prohibitions, which still represent victories, of sorts, because of their inherent failure to invoke total pesticide-hating bans.  

The victories below demonstrate the continental trends against the conspiracy of pesticide-hating prohibitions.

VICTORY   —   BC’s Special Committee On Cosmetic Pesticides announced that it would not recommend a prohibition at the provincial level, & the proposal was stopped. 

VICTORY   —   Consequently, British Columbia imposed a limited provincial prohibition   ―   no prohibition for licensed / certified applicators, who have been granted with an exception status, such as those who work on golf courses & at lawn care businesses.

According to Environment Minister Terry Lake   —   

What we think of as cosmetic pesticides will only be used by someone who is certified, who is licensed to be able to use them.   

In fact, the rule change does not apply to the agriculture industry, forestry, golf courses, & industrial land. 

Municipalities & First Nations can opt out.

Conclusion About Prohibition

BRITISH COLUMBIA     2 / 2

~

Province of British Columbia ( BC )

A Major Study Has Confirmed The Failure
Of British Columbia’s Pesticide-Hating Bans

Limited Provincial Prohibition Imposed By
Many Of British Columbia’s Municipalities
Since Invoking A Total Ban Was Not Possible

Municipal Prohibitions Have Been Arbitrarily
Discriminatory Against Professional Lawn
Care Businesses & Residential Home Lawns

Municipal Prohibitions Have Provided
Inconsistent & Unfair Exception Statuses
For Weed Invasions & Insect Infestations
―  For City-Owned Properties Only  ―  &
Not For Lawn Care Businesses & Home Lawns

Fiesta Green Alternative Ineffective
& Stunningly Expensive

Municipal Prohibitions Have Led To Catastrophic
Ecological Carnage For Tens Of Thousands Of
Destroyed & Ravaged Properties Every Single Year

~

CONCLUSION   —   BC’s prohibitions against conventional pest control products have been reckless, arbitrary, & doomed-to-fail.  

A major study has concluded that BCs municipalities have been circumventing their own limited prohibitions by taking advantage of exception statuses that they have conveniently inserted in their by-laws.  

Municipal prohibitions are limited since they have provided inconsistent & unfair exception statuses for invasive weeds & destructive insects   ―   for city-owned properties only   ―   but certainly not for lawn care businesses & home lawns.  

Without conventional pest control products, home properties have become pest-infested & dangerous garbage dumps because it is impossible to control invasive weeds & destructive insects by using so-called green alternative pesticides like Fiesta. 

Municipal prohibitions have led to catastrophic ecological carnage for tens of thousands of destroyed & ravaged properties every single year.  

British Columbia’s municipal exception statuses represent the best examples of the failures, the ridiculousness, & the destructiveness of their anti-pesticide prohibitions. 

There should be no #@!!% exception statuses whatsoever.

~

VICTORY   —   Durango’s city council voted unanimously to reject & stop a proposed prohibition against no-risk pest control products & synthetic fertilizers on city parks & personal property.  

The question of prohibition revolved less around health & environment concerns, & more around products & services that were sold at stunningly exorbitant costs.

Edmonton Resumed Its Use Of Conventional
Herbicides That Are No-Risk, Safe, & Effective

Getting Rid Of Inferior Fiesta Green Alternative
Herbicide Proved That Edmonton’s Doomed-
To-Fail Prohibition Against Conventional

~

VICTORY   —   Edmonton’s city councillors turned down & stopped calls to prohibit no-risk conventional pest control products. 

Its organic pesticide-free parks, treated with Fiesta alternative herbicide, had become heavily infested with weeds, & looked like garbage dumps.

It is common knowledge that green alternative products like Fiesta will not work.

All green alternatives were bogus & dismal failures   —   they were phony, inferior, ineffective, unaffordable, & did not work.

~

VICTORY   —   The Lowell Park pesticide-free pilot-project was ended by the city of Everett. 

The application of no-risk conventional weed control products was resumed because the city was forced to resort to the back-breaking & agonizing job of manual weed-picking by hand, & could not find enough volunteers. 

It was too much work for volunteers to maintain Lowell Park up to city standards. 

Organic pesticide-free maintenance with manual weed picking was a dismal failure.

Of The Golf Industry’s Exception Status In
Most Jurisdictions Across The Nation

~

VICTORY   —   Almost universally, the golf industry has been provided with an exception status.  

In jurisdictions like Ontario, the provincial government has believed that the maintenance standards used by the golf industry required that it be given a pesticide ban exception status.

On the matter of a high performance maintenance standard, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment [ MOE ] issued the following statement   —    

The MOE recognizes that golf courses require high performance standards for the playing surfaces & require some pesticide use to achieve such standards. 

The exception to the prohibition on the use of prescribed pesticides on golf courses is conditional upon complying with certain requirements.

Canada’s Former Organic Golf Courses Have Fallen

–

VICTORY IN CANADA   —   Organic pesticide-free golf courses in Canada are gone, forever.  
~
POSITION STATEMENTS IN CANADA   —   The golf industry has issued its official position statements on organic pesticide-free maintenance.  Canadian golf courses have not adopted a policy of no-pesticides, & acceptable playing conditions can only be achieved through the use of pest control products,  which are a necessity due to the requirement for professional turfgrasses grown in difficult climate conditions. 
~
EXAMPLES IN CANADA   —   There have been four, yes only four, golf courses that have attempted & pretended being organic pesticide-free in Canada   —   

1.  BLACKBURN MEADOWS GC   —   Put up for sale & placed under receivership.  Canada’s number 1 organic golf course ?!?!  Gone, forever.

VICTORY   —   Three years after it was imposed, Guelph rescinded its harmful-prohibition, & hired a contractor to apply at least three applications of conventional herbicides to eliminate weeds & grasses on city-owned properties.  

According municipal officials, organic pesticide-free maintenance was a dismal failure since it was not possible to control weeds without no-risk conventional products.

Consequently, municipal officials strongly & publicly opposed Ontario’s existing provincial prohibition because of its effect on catastrophic ecological carnage in the form of dangerous garbage dump green spaces.  

This was negatively-viewed as watering down Ontario’s pesticide ban.

Previously, city staff were forced to pull weeds on their hands & knees, but could not keep up with the weeds even when the city spent 260 staff hours, an exorbitant cost in labour. 

Green alternative pesticides, like vinegar acid, were unacceptable because they were not only ineffective, but they were also more toxic & more dangerous with burns to the eyes & skin, requiring protective masks & suits.
