Western Canada Turfgrass Association
( WCTA )
–
WCTA represents the turf management profession, which includes golf course superintendents, assistant superintendents, equipment technicians, municipalities, lawn care businesses, and others, in Western Canada, particularly in British Columbia. WCTA currently has 700 members, with DWINDLING golf industry participation. The WCTA mission is to promote and support the turf management profession, even though its leadership remains idle on so many important issues. The fanatжcal and uneducated leaders of WCTA fail to make any correct decisions. For example, WCTA is in a sad state of affairs, since the majority of its member-golf-courses appear to have VIOLATED provincial pesticide laws. WCTA leaders must be frustrated because they are failures at almost everything ! Perhaps we cannot ascribe malice to WCTA leaders which adequately be explained by incompetence. WCTA fails as a trade association, and its leaders operate with their heads up their bжtts.

√ FACT — WCTA Fails As A Trade Association
–
Observers have repeatedly warned the fanatжcal and uneducated leaders of WCTA to pull their heads out of their bжtts. Demands have been made repeatedly for them to STOP supporting anti-pesticide prohibition, to STOP validating those lunatжcs who seek to harm the turf maintenance profession, and to STOP peddling bogus green alternative pesticides. And more. They could not care less about the fate of the turf maintenance profession. WCTA fails to make any correct decisions.

√ FACT — WCTA Supports Anti-Pesticide Prohibition
–
The fanatжcal leaders of WCTA, spear-headed by Jerry Rousseau, conspire to impose prohibitions against pest control products used in the urban landscape. WCTA has validated prohibitions that have led to terrжr, despair, and destitution for businesses operating in the professional lawn care industry. These businesses have suffered catastrophic carnage in the form of horrific fines, business destruction, and business failures. Oddly enough, these businesses were⁄are members WCTA. WCTA has TORPEDOED and EXTENSIVELY DAMAGED the professional lawn care industry. WCTA has « thrown-under-the-bus » the professional lawn care industry. WCTA is just a bunch of #@!!% bastжrds !

√ FACT — WCTA Fails At Lobbying
–
WCTA has made some quasi-serious, but amateurish, sometimes innovative, attempts with its political lobbying campaign. In the past decade, much of its lobbying efforts have been directed towards preserving the golf industry’s pesticide ban exception status. Unfortunately, WCTA often pays lip service to the importance of protecting this exception status, and has confined itself to basically sending ineffective letters to Health Canada, and pointless meet-and-greet with local government officials. This is because NO ONE in WCTA has any expertise in matters concerning professional lobbying, hence, WCTA fails to make any correct decisions concerning this issue. WCTA members are NOT being protected from harm by any effective lobbying campaign. By comparison, Integrated Environmental Plant Management Association of Western Canada ( IEPMA ) has been MORE EFFECTIVE at lobbying than WCTA.

√ FACT — WCTA Fails To Protect The Golf Industry
–
The clueless leaders of WCTA ignore the fact that federal and provincial officials are considering the imposition of prohibitions against ALL industries that use pest control products, including the golf industry. The golf industry currently enjoys the benefits from an exception status despite the fact that it uses the very same ingredients employed by home-owners, professional lawn care businesses, and farmers. Golf facilities use 6.0 per cent of all pest control products in Manitoba, a province within the jurisdiction of WCTA. Some observers have commented that if golf facilities account for 6.0 per cent of the pest control products use, and feel they deserve an exception status, it should be pointed out that a residential home lawns only accounts for 0.00000001 per cent, and therefore is far more deserving of an exception status than they are. Sadly, WCTA pays lip service to the importance of protecting the golf industry’s pesticide ban exception status. Overall, they have NOT bothered to address ANY of the CRITICAL ISSUES facing the golf industry. Their golf-industry-members are NOT being protected from harm by any effective lobbying campaign. WCTA even remained idle when Riverside Golf Course faced imminent destruction at the hands of golf-hating municipal officials in Surrey. Observers have stated that WCTA fails to defend golf superintendents and their facilities because of the DWINDLING participation of the golf industry in its events. WCTA is just a bunch of #@!!% bastжrds !

√ FACT — WCTA Fails To Select Proper Conference Speakers
–
The fanatжcal and uneducated leaders of WCTA often fail to make any correct decisions concerning the selection of speakers for its events. Some of their choices have been recognized anti-pesticide and golf-hating lunatжcs who have conspired against the turf management profession. For example ― Paul Tukey ― a top foreign lobbyist paid by Canadian Cancer Society to subvert the public with fake-news propaganda against pest control products ― WCTA squandered vast sums of money for this bad choice ― Tukey invited by WCTA is like inviting Bin Laden to a 9|11 memorial. Another example ― Pam Charbonneau ― an anti-pesticide government official, paid-for-profit by Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, University of Guelph ― ALL Guelph government-officials, like Charbonneau, became the instruments of anti-pesticide propaganda for the Government of Ontario ― WCTA made a questionable choice. Even worse example ― Lisa Gue ― a non-expert pesticide-hating lunatжc who is paid by David Suzuki Foundation to subversively conspire against ALL pest control products ― WCTA made a bad choice. WCTA fails to protect the turf management profession from fake-news anti-pesticide and golf-hating propaganda.

√ FACT — WCTA Peddles Nematode Insecticides
–
WCTA appoints itself as promoter of green alternative pesticides, like entomo-pathogenic nematodes. The fanatжcal and uneducated leaders of WCTA spread mis-information concerning nematode insecticides that are, in fact, NOT effective for the control of damaging insects like European Chafer Insects. WCTA must STOP peddling bogus green alternative pesticides, like nematodes, that DO NOT WORK. WCTA fails as a trade association. When will WCTA ever promote conventional insect control products like chlorantraniliprole or imidacloprid ?!?!

√ FACT — WCTA Fails To Confront David Suzuki
–
WCTA fails to comprehend the threat to the golf industry concerning attacks by David Suzuki and his operatives. The pompous and idiotic elected leaders and staff of CGSA failed to confront and defend David Suzuki and his fanatжcal-operatives from attacking golf businesses. The #@!!% Suzuki-documentary « Dad and the Dandelions », which first aired on March 2nd, 2017, represented his latest anti-pesticide campaign of terrжr that falsely and strongly implies that golf courses cause cancer and kill people. [ ?!?! ] Suzuki’s fanatжcal-operatives spent a year-and-a-half producing the documentary, a cancer-terrжr-attack against the golf industry. It was financed by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation ( CBC ) to the tune of 1 million dollars. Suzuki intends to leave a legacy of terrжrized and destroyed golf facilities, lost jobs and hardship for golf employees, and weakened communities. What has WCTA done to confront Suzuki-terrжr against the golf industry ?!?! NOTHING. WCTA has idiotically responded … do not attack Suzuki. Really ?!?! WCTA has ineptly responded … Suzuki cancer-attacks are simply mis-information and alternative opinions. Really ?!?! Why ?!?! Because WCTA leaders have become Suzuki ACOLYTES. Consequently, WCTA leaders fail to make any correct decisions. They are cowards and they do not care. The WCTA SUCKS since it has failed to defend the turf management profession. WCTA is not competent to fight against David Suzuki.

√ FACT — WCTA Fails To Complain About Hacking-Attacks
–
An organization called Prevent Cancer Now ( PCN, a.k.a. Canadian Cancer Society & David Suzuki ) is taking aim AGAINST the golf industry by hacking its IPM data, and WCTA simply remains quiescent. IPM Council of Canada has enabled PCN’s anti-pesticide and golf-hating lunatжcs by granting them wholesale and unconstrained access to sensitive and potentially-harmful information about golf facilities in provinces like Ontario. PCN’s lunatжcs have been downloading ( i.e. hacking ) sensitive IPM data that contains thousands of detailed reports on the use of pest control products by hundreds of golf facilities. Under some provincial laws, like Ontario, golf facilities must submit annual reports on their use of pest control products ― these reports are known as IPM data. The hackers’ objective has been to publicly evaluate the IPM data in a manner that will humiliate, damage, and destroy businesses that operate in the golf industry. So far, the hacked IPM data has been destructively exploited by PCN in the production of the #@!!% Suzuki-documentary « Dad and the Dandelions » which falsely and strongly implies that ALL golf courses cause cancer and kill people. [ ?!?! ] A dozen warnings were issued to IPM Council and all other trade associations, including WCTA. Elected leaders and staff of trade associations like WCTA were expected to complain to all board members of the IPM Council. Incredibly, NOTHING has been effectively done to protect the sensitive IPM data that is still being downloaded by PCN’s hackers. IPM Council and trade associations have become « useful idiots » that naively support and tolerate PCN’s dangerous hacking-lunatжcs. The master-mind of this hacking-attack is a lunatжc-operative supported by David Suzuki Foundation and Canadian Cancer Society. Golf facilities everywhere are now in deep #@!!% trouble because WCTA, and others, fail as trade associations. They refuse to defend golf superintendents and their facilities from golf-hating fanatжcs are taking aim AGAINST the golf industry. WCTA is just a bunch of #@!!% bastжrds !

√ FACT — WCTA Conspires WITH Golf-Hating Cancer-Lunatжcs
–
WCTA has failed to comprehend the threat to the turf management profession from Canadian Cancer Society ( CCS ) ― and actually conspires with this subversive, contemptible, and radical organization. The inept leaders of WCTA have openly conspired WITH the anti-pesticide and golf-hating lunatжcs at CCS, an organization that has repeatedly demanded the total revocation of the golf industry’s pesticide ban exception status. CCS’s anti-pesticide terrжrist acts of subversion have extensively damaged the professional lawn care industry. WCTA’s inept leaders allow themselves to be appeased by cancer-lunatжcs. Canadian Cancer Society appeasing WCTA leaders is like Chamberlain being appeased by Hitler. WCTA betrays the golf industry since it fails to defend golf superintendents from Canadian Cancer Society. WCTA is just a bunch of appeased #@!!% bastжrds !

√ FACT — WCTA Fails To Adopt Proper Policies
–
WCTA fails to make any correct decisions regarding pesticide policies, particularly on issues concerning RE-ENTRY INTERVALS. It renders its policies concerning these product by stating, in essence ― « listen to us and do not listen to Health Canada ». Sadly, the fanatжcal and uneducated leaders of WCTA publicly adopts the ridiculous and arbitrary guidelines of WorkSafeBC in defiance of Health Canada superior authority in these issues. Incredibly, some WCTA leaders has shown an inclination towards an overall 24-hour RE-ENTRY INTERVAL for ALL pest control applications, in defiance of the label directions approved by Health Canada. They are wrong ! WCTA leaders should be simply recommending to follow the label directions ― end of argument. They should cease and desist with their subversive actions of needlessly burdening the turf management profession by ridiculously and arbitrarily exaggerating the interpretation of the label directions for pest control products. Rather, WCTA should be lobbying the government of British Columbia to rescind its WorkSafeBC guidelines. Only Health Canada has the essential expertise on RE-ENTRY INTERVALS, and NOT WorkSafeBC, and certainly NOT WCTA. It fails as a trade association.

√ FACT — WCTA Fails To Deal With Activist-Superintendents
–
WCTA fails to comprehend the threats posed by « activist-superintendents », also known as « snowflake-superintendents ». British Columbia is the nation’s birth-place for these activists, which falls within the jurisdiction of WCTA. Many observers believe that « activist-superintendents » represent the greatest threats to the golf industry today. « Activist-superintendents » choose doctrines that deviate from, and conveniently ignore, main-stream turf maintenance practices that are overwhelmingly science-based, time-tested, correct, and disciplined. Consequently, they cannot be trusted to correctly maintain high-quality playing conditions and aesthetics for paying golf-customers ― they may be viewed as a threat that jeopardizes the professionalism of golf superintendents. Even worse, « activist-superintendents » needlessly alarm and enrage the public by spreading highly-inaccurate pesticide-hating propaganda. They adopt the false doctrine that the use of conventional pesticides is a harmful practice ― this may also be viewed as an attack against the golf industry. More precisely, « activist-superintendents » LIE about pesticides. They lie and lie and lie and lie ― they never stop. These activists are, seemingly, mentally-challenged and incompetent snowflakes ― they represent no useful purpose to the golf industry. « Activist-superintendents » cannot be trusted, and do not represent main-stream golf course superintendents. They are a threat to the golf industry, and bad for golf business. They simply do not deserve to work in the golf industry that they betray. WCTA fails as a trade association since it refuses to deal with this threat.

√ FACT — WCTA Fails To Defend The Golf Industry
–
WCTA fails to make any correct decisions that would protect golf superintendents and their facilities. As we all know that WCTA has squandered considerable resources in support of prohibition against pest control products used in the urban landscape. It has refused to withdraw its support for prohibition. It has refused to acknowledge the hundreds and hundreds of lethal attacks against golf industry. It has also refused to denounce the Suzuki cancer-attacks as destructive anti-pesticide and science-hating fanatжcal lies against the golf industry. It has even refused to complain about hacking-attacks against superintendents. These acts jeopardize the golf superintendent profession. WCTA must confront ALL attacks against the golf industry. Golf-hating fanatжcs are taking aim AGAINST the golf industry. WCTA must confront Suzuki by stating unequivocally that golf courses DO NOT cause cancer and DO NOT kill people. Otherwise, it would be difficult to trust WCTA as a legitimate representative of professional golf course superintendents. WCTA further jeopardizes the golf superintendent profession since it has refused to address ANY of the CRITICAL ISSUES facing the golf industry. It even refuses to deal with the threat of « activist-superintendents ». Superintendents and their facilities face some huge challenges because of their high degree of vulnerability concerning several public affairs issues concerning pest control products. They are on a collision course with the looming shipwreck of golf-hating and anti-pesticide terrжism. The entire golf industry, including WCTA, must confront is enemies, and must immediately address several CRITICAL ISSUES. Otherwise, the end will be near for the golf industry !

√ FACT — WCTA Fails In Public Affairs
–
WCTA leaders must be frustrated because they are failures at almost everything ! Unfortunately, the fanatжcal and uneducated leaders of WCTA cannot be considered competent to handle public affairs issues on issues like pest control products. These leaders have NO credibility whatsoever in public affairs, and are NOT FIT to lobby in favour of the turf management profession’s desperately-needed pest control products. In fact, they have actually contributed to the END of the golf industry’s pesticide ban exception status. WCTA fails as a trade association, and it betrays the turf management profession.
