    Calgary (pronounced /klri, klri/) is the largest city in the Province of Alberta, Canada.

    The Calgary Metropolitan Area (CMA) is the third most diverse in Canada in terms of visibleminorities after Toronto and Vancouver when considering only CMAs with population greater

    than 200,000. It is located in the south of the province, in an area of foothills and high plains,approximately 80 km (50 miles) east of the front ranges of the Canadian Rockies. The city is lo-cated in the Parkland region of Alberta. Calgary is the third largest civic municipality, by popu-

    lation in Canada, and is also an emerging global city. According to the GaWC, Calgary is a"gamma negative world city".

    In the Canada 2006 Census, the city had a population of 988,193 and the CMA had a population

    of 1,079,310. As of the 2009 civic census, Calgary's population was 1,065,455 and the CMAhad a population of 1,182,446.

    Greater Calgary is the fifth largest CMA in the country after Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and

    Ottawa. Located 300 km (200 mi) due south of Edmonton, statisticians define the narrow popu-lated area between these cities as the "CalgaryEdmonton Corridor". Calgary is the largest Ca-

    nadian metropolitan area between Toronto and Vancouver. (Source : Wikipedia.)

    LOBBY HEATS UP FOR BYLAWBANNING PESTICIDE USE IN CALGARY

    OCTOBER 7TH,2009

    S.E.CALGARY NEWS (SECN)

    ELIZABETH SANDLESTUDENT REPORTER

    On WEDNESDAY OCT 7TH, the Standing Policy Committee on Utilitiesand Environment, are meeting to hear recommendations for a pes-ticide bylaw.

    Calgary is the largest municipality in Canada without a pesticideregulation.

    SO WHAT ?

    As ofSEPT 2008, 133 municipalities passed the bylaw, with elevenother municipalities in the process of passing it.

    COMMENTARY FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE AS OF 2009, THEMUNICIPALITIES OF ONTARIO HAVE BEEN STRIPPED OF THEIR PROHIBITIONPOWERS . THE MUNICIPALITIES CLEARLY WERE NOT KNOWLEDGEABLE ENOUGHTO ENACT PROHIBITIVE BYLAWS. A MUNICIPALITY HAS AN ONUS OF RESPON-SIBILITY TO VERIFY THE JUNK SCIENCE INFORMATION THAT SERVES AS THEBASIS FOR PROHIBITION LEGISLATION . SO FAR , MUNICIPALITIES HAVE FAILEDTO BASE THEIR LEGISLATIVE DECISIONS ON SOUND SCIENCE. UNFORTU-NATELY, MANY MUNICIPALITIES PUBLICLY HAVE SUPPORTED JUNK SCIENCE ON THEIR WEB SITES AND IN PUBLIC STATEMENTS .

    COMMENTARY FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE AS THE LOCAL LEGALAUTHORITY , MUNICIPALITIES HAVE A DUTY TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR THE WELL

    BEING OF THE COMMUNITY, BUT , WITH PROHIBITIONIST LEGISLATION, THEY

    NONETHELESS FAIL IN THEIR BASIC RESPONSIBILITIES . CONSEQUENTLY, TH E

    PROVINCE OF ONTARIO ELIMINATED THE MUNICIPAL AUTHORITY TO PROHIBIT

    PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS , REGARDLESS OF THE RULING OF THE SUPREME COURT

    OF CANADA CONCERNING THE TOWN OF HUDSON.

    However, not everyone considers such bylaws to be effective.

    THEY ARE NEEDLESS , SENSELESS, AND MALICIOUS !

    ACBC Marketplace investigation in 2007 found pesticide productsthat were illegal to use in a community were still easily purchasedin major stores.

    SO WHAT ?

    In Toronto, whose pesticide bylaw passed in 2002, there were no

    convictions in 2006, one in 2007 and three in 2008.

    SO WHAT ?

    GIDEON FORMAN, Executive Directorof the Canadian Association ofPhysicians for the Environment will be participating in the hearingas will the Canadian Cancer Soci-

    ety. Together they have lobbied CityCouncil to put a stop to unnecessarypesticide use in Calgary.

    SO MUCH FOR A NEUTRAL NONPARTISAN REPORT .

    SAFE! OVERALL , WHEN THEY ARE USED PROPERLY, THERE ARE NO HARMFUL

    EFFECTS TO HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT !

    FACT: CONVENTIONAL PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS ARE SCIENTIFICALLY

    SAFE SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN SCRUTINIZED AND APPROVED BY THE HUN-

    DREDS OF EXPERT SCIENTISTS AT HEALTH CANADA !

    FACT : THE O.C.F.P. REPORT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CREDIBILITY IN THELEGITIMATE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY.

    THE O.C.F.P.REPORT WAS SIMPLY A CHERRYPICKING OF SOME OFTHE MOST NEGATIVE REPORTS REGARDING PEST CONTROL PROD-

    UCTS. .

    THE O.C.F.P.REPORT CONSISTED MOSTLY OF RESEARCH THATDOES NOT EVEN COMPLY WITH THE SAME RESEARCH STAN-DARDS AS THE PEST CONTROL PRODUCT INDUSTRY. THIS INDUS-

    TRY MUST COMPLY WITH VERY PRECISEAND DEMANDINGSTANDARDS WHEN IT COMES TO UNDERTAKING THE SCIENTIFICRESEARCH REQUIRED BY GOVERNMENT REGULATORY AGENCIES . SCIENTIFIC DATA SUBMITTED TO HEALTH CANADA AND OTHERFEDERAL REGULATORS MUST BE DONE BY GOODLABORATORY PRACTICE (GLP) QUALIFIED LABORATORIES .

    FACT : NOT A SINGLE PERSON AT THE ONTARIO COLLEGE OF FAMILYPHYSICIANS (O.C.F.P.) HAS ANY RECOGNIZED EXPERTISE, TRAINING, OR

    BACKGROUND, IN MATTERS CONCERNING PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS ! MOST OF THESE PEOPLE ARE MERE HEALTH CARE WORKERS , AND NOT SCIEN-TISTS OR RESEARCHERS !

    FACT : THERE ARE NO O.C.F.P. HEALTH WORKERS WHO ARE SCIENTISTS ORRESEARCHERS WITH CREDENTIALS IN THE FIELDS OF PEST CONTROLPROD-UCTS OR TURF MANAGEMENT !

    EVERYBODY MUST STOP GETTING MEDICAL ADVICE AND TREAT-

    MENT FROM HEALTH CARE WORKERS THAT ARE MEMBERS OFTHE ONTARIO COLLEGE OF FAMILY PHYSICIANS !

    ENVIROMANIACS LOVEJUNKSCIENCE !

    COMMENTARY FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE

    FACT : ENVIROMANIACS ARE FREQUENTLY ONLY ABLE TO PROVIDE INFOR-MATION BASED UPON JUNK SCIENCE INSTEAD OF SOUND SCIENCE!

    ENVIROMANIAC = LIAR !

    ENVIROMANIAC = JUNK SCIENCE !

    MANIACS SHOULD REPORT ON RESEARCH THAT COMPLIES WITH THE SAME RE-

    SEARCH STANDARDS AS THE PEST CONTROL PRODUCT INDUSTRY. INDUSTRYMUST COMPLY WITH VERY PRECISE AND DEMANDING STANDARDS WHEN IT COMES TO UNDERTAKING THE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH REQUIRED BY

    GOVERNMENT REGULATORY AGENCIES . SCIENTIFIC DATA SUBMITTED TOHEALTH CANADA AND OTHER FEDERAL REGULATORS MUST BE DONE BYGOOD LABORATORYPRACTICE (GLP) QUALIFIED LABORATORIES .

    AN UNINTENTIONAL GLP VIOLATION CAN INVALIDATE THE STUDY , REQUIRINGTHE STUDY TO BE REPEATED , WHICH IS VERY COSTLY.

    UNDER THE PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS ACT, INTENTIONALLY MISREPRE-SENTING THE FINDINGS OF A GLP STUDY IS A VIOLATION THAT UPON CONVIC-TION , CAN LEAD TO A FINE UP TO $500,000 OR A JAIL TERM OF UP TO THREEYEARS.

    WHAT FOLLOWS IS A QUESTIONANDANSWER SESSION WITH FORMAN

    AND A STUDENT REPORTER FROM S.E. CALGARY NEWS . . .

    QUESTION FROM S.E. CALGARY NEWS (SECN) If pesti-cides are just used once in a while, can they still be harmful ?

    COMMENTARY FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE NO ! CONVENTIONAL

    PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS ARE SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE SINCE THEY HAVE

    BEEN SCRUTINIZED AND APPROVED BY THE HUNDREDS OF EXPERT SCIEN-

    TISTS AT HEALTH CANADA ! NEITHER FORMAN, NOR ANY OF HIS COLLEAGUES ,

    HAVE ANY RECOGNIZED EXPERTISE IN MATTERS CONCERNING PEST CONTROL

    PRODUCTS ! MOST OF THESE PEOPLE ARE MERE HEALTH CARE WORKERS , AND

    NOT SCIENTISTS OR RESEARCHERS !

    ANSWER FROMFORMAN Yes, the life of a pes-

    ticide ranges depending on what it is and where itssprayed. Pesticides get tracked into houses where,in the absence of sun and soil degradation it l in-gers. House dust contributes up to 30% of chil-drens exposure before application to lawns and upto 76% of their exposure after application.

    WRONG !

    COMMENTARY FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE FORMAN HAS NO

    RECOGNIZED TRAINING OR BACKGROUND REGARDING PEST CO NTROL PRODUCTS.

    ! HIS CLAIMS ARE TOTALLY UNSUBSTANTIATED !

    Force of Nature was launched for continuous transmission on theInternet on January 1st, 2009. It is a series of enewsletters des-tined for the GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY, the ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORMOVEMENT, politicians, municipalities, and the media, nationwideacross Canada, and parts of the United States and overseas. FORCEOF NATURE is produced in two parts. First. The MEDIA REPORTitselfthatreports on the current events affecting the future of the GREENSPACE INDUSTRY. Second. INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE,which is a run-ning commentary, sometimes technical in nature. Force of Nature isthe WHOLE TRUTH from an INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE !

    FORCE OF NATURE is the brainchild of William H. Gathercole and hisentourage. Norah G is actually an acronym for the stable of writersthat contribute to this enewsletter. The opinions expressed in

    Force of Nature, even though from an INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE, may not reflect those of everyone in the GREEN SPACEINDUSTRY, or Mr. Gathercoles many associates. Be warned ! Mr. Gathercole and Norah G may sometimes be very ir-reverent and fearless with these enewsletters. DONT THANK US. ITS A PUBLIC SERVICE. AND WE ARE GLAD TO DO IT .

    William H. Gathercole holds a degree in Horticulture from the UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH, and another pure and applied sci-ence degree from MCGILL UNIVERSITY. He has worked in virtually all aspects of the GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY, includingpublic affairs, personal safety, and environmental issues. Mr. Gathercole has been a consultant and instructor fordecades. He also been an agricultural agronomist. Mr. Gathercole has been following the evolution ofENVIRONMENTALTERRORISMfor over a quartercentury. His involvement in environmental issues reached a fevered pitch in the 1990s,

    when he orchestrated, with others, legal action against unethical and excessive municipal regulations restricting theuse of pest control products. ( i.e. the Town of Hudson. ) Although he can be accused of being ANTIENVIRONMENTMOVEMENT, he is, in fact, simply a strong advocate FOR the GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY. However, this position has not pre-cluded him from criticizing the Green Space Industry itself. Nonetheless, his vast knowledge of our long journey withenvironmental issues is UNDENIABLE. ( Hopefully ! ) For many years, Mr. Gathercole has been a contributing columnistforTURF&RECREATION Magazine, Canadas Turf and Grounds Maintenance Authority.

    All document excerpts and pictures contained in FORCE OF NATURE were found somewhere on the Internet. We believethat they are in the public domain, serving one of the following purposes : archive, education, promotion, publicity, orpress release.

    We believe that environmental terrorism can be BEATEN ! Information presented in FORCE OF NATURE has been devel-oped for the education and entertainment of the reader. The events, characters, companies, and organizations, de-picted in this document are not always fictitious. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, may not be coinci-dental. The mission of Force of Nature is to respond to those statements and activities originating from culprits thatconspire to prohibit FEDERALLY LEGAL, SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE, and TOTALLY IRREPLACEABLE conventional pest control prod-ucts. Culprits are identified on the basis of their statements, activities, affiliations, and whereabouts. Even thougheach culprit is a misguided adversary, each still deserves our respect. The term culprit is not an accusation of any le-gal wrongdoing. Force of Nature is simply holding culprits accountable for changes in public policy that have terror-ized the Green Space Industry. Force of Nature believes that the prohibition policies of the ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORMOVEMENT will lead to UNEMPLOYMENT, BANKRUPTCY, BUSINESS FAILURE, DESPAIR, and DESTITUTION. The actions of the move-ment is viewed as a form ofTERROR against the Green Space Industry.
