    David Suzuki Foundation.

    Here are TW O interesting statements from DAVIDSUZUKIFOUN-DATION.

    The Ontario law [ prohibition of pest con-trol products ] is something the David Su-zuki Foundation, along with a range ofhealth and environmental organizations,has been pushing for. March 17 th, 2009.

    The Suzuki Foundation challenges otherprovinces to meet or beat Ontario s banon cosmetic pesticides to ensure a highstandard of protection for human healthand the environment across the country. March 4 th, 2009

    DAVID SUZUKI FOUNDATION has developed expertise in the dis-tribution of ideas related to POLITICIZED SCIENCE and public policyconcerning the environment. It eloquently claims that ...

    The David Suzuki Foundation worksthrough science and education to protectthe diversity of nature and our quality oflife, now and for the future.

    Suzuki operates across Canada and the United States, but its business headquarters, with overFIFTY EMPLOYEES, is located inVancouver. It operates with a budget of oversix mill ion dollars peryear. Suzuki is arguably the largestMULTIMILLION DOLLAR MONEYMAKING MACHINE within the ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT. It hasbranch offices in Ottawa and Montreal. DAVID SUZUKI FOUNDATIONwas cofounded in 1991 by broadcaster and scientistDavid Takayo-shi Suzuki.

    DAVIDSUZUKIFOUNDATIONhas had some famous (or infamous)Honourary Board Members, such as ...

    Margaret Atwood, the writer.

    James Burke. Paul Ehrlich, the environmentalist.

    Gordon Lightfoot, the singer.

    Sting. (Yes, that Sting !)

    It may be said that there is NO conflictofinterest between thefunding of Suzuki and its activities pertaining to the conspiracy to

    prohibit pest control product. Suzuki s foundation accepts NOmoney from government, unlike the majority of the ENVIRONMENTALMOVEMENT. However, there MA Y be a huge conflictofinterest be-tween being a supposedly neutral television personality working fora governmentowned public broadcasting corporation, and operat-ing a partisan militant environmental organization.

    Suzuki and golf.

    DAVIDSUZUKIFOUNDATION obviously activelysupports the prohibition of pest control products.Furthermore, it has also publicly stated that itDOES NOT want any Ontario prohibition excep-tions for the GOLF INDUSTRY.

    David Suzuki himself has said the following in 2008 ... (the un-derlined emphasis is our own).

    [ The new prohibition legislation in On-tario ] allows golf courses to continue us-ing pesticides and gives power to the On-tario minister of the environment to allowother exceptions, a potentially dangerous

    loophole.

    On its web site, DAVID SUZUKI FOUNDATION has also made thefollowing statement about golf exceptions on October 15 t h, 2008.

    If provincial prohibitions exempt golfcourses, as proposed in the discussionpaper, municipalities need clear authority

    to restrict pesticide use on golf courseswithin their boundaries to better protectpublic health and the environment.

    Suzuki,

    The Puppet Master of theEnvironmental Movement.

    Suzuki has definitely taken a LEADERSHIP role among thosegroups in the ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT. It appears that some-times Suzuki even acts as THE PUPPET MASTER of the ENVIRON-MENTAL MOVEMENT. Suzuki has manyPUPPETS, since it is CLOSELY

    ALLIED with several groups that actively support the Ontario prohibi-tion. Sometimes, Suzuki simply pulls THE STRINGS, and makes theseguys PERFORM. Its actuallyFUN to watch. Here are THE PUPPETS(allies) ofTHE PUPPETMASTER.

    DAVID SUZUKI FOUNDATION has forged aVERY CLOSE ALLIANCEwith CANADIAN ASSOCIATION OF PHYSICIANS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT(C.A.P.E.), and both appear to mutually fund each others projects.

    Suzuki shield organizations.ENVIRONMENTAL SHIELD ORGANIZATIONS (also called umbrella

    groups or front organizations) are often used by the ENVIRONMENTALMOVEMENT. SHIELDS are set up and controlled by a parent group, orseveral parent groups. They can act for the parent group withoutthe actions being attributed to the parent group.

    2277//0099//22000099

    ENVIRONMENTAL SHIELDS are set up for one or several of the following rea-

    sons.

    For collecting or donating funds. For concealing the views of supposedly moderate professionals, such as

    physicians and health care workers, in an attempt to mask their extremist

    views.

    For ensuring that the nonprofit tax status of the parent groups is notjeopardized by their activities.

    For giving everyone the impression that the ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENThas

    considerable size and power, when in fact, it does not. For giving the public the impression that there is GRASSROOTSsupport for

    changes in public policy.

    For protecting the parent groups from legal liability.

    On the matter of conspiring to prohibit pest control products, Suzuki hasbeen involved with at least two SHIELD organizations in two different provinces.

    Suzukis public affairsSHIELD organization in Ontario is COALITION FOR

    PESTICIDEREFORMONTARIO. This coalition was created to ensure the passageof the Ontario COSMETICPESTICIDESBAN ACT.

    Here is a sample of the coalitions advertising on April 26 t h , 2008 that wassupported by Suzuki.

    Lawns and gardens are closer to wheremost people l ive and where children play.Lawn and garden pesticides represent a po-tentially significant and often involuntary

    pathway of exposure.

    Another Suzuki SHIELD isQUITERRE. It is VERY CLOSELY associated withDAVID SUZUKI FOUNDATION. It acts an ambassador and publ ic pol icySHIELDorganization forDAVIDSUZUKIFOUNDATION in Quebec.

    Suzuki in Quebec.

    As conspiracies to prohibit pest control products rampage across Can-ada, the one bright spot is Quebec, where a prohibition, in existence since2006, is now being challenged by a manufacturer. DOW AGROSCIENCES, theproud owner of the hated herbicide 2,4Dhas declared that it has had enough,and is invoking its rights as a company that manufactures a product that has

    been given a clean bill of health byHEALTHCANADA. Dow argues that the fed-eral government owes mill ions of dollars in lost revenues for a product that

    was prohibited needlessly. Dows case is based upon CHAPTER 11 of theNORTHAMERICA FREE TRADEAGREEMENT(N.F.T.A.).

    Here is whatDOW AGROSCIENCES had to say in a media release on Oc-tober 24 t h, 2008.

    The actions of the Government of Quebec aretantamount to a blanket ban based on nonscientif ic criteria. [ ... ] The PMRA [ PestManagement Regulatory Agency of HealthCanada ] concluded that 2,4D can be usedsafely according to label directions for a vari-ety of lawn, turf and agricultural applications,and that the product meets all of Canadaspesticide health and safety regulations, whichare among the toughest and most stringent inthe world.

    The N.A.F.T.A. Chapter 11 scenario has the ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT,and Suzuki in particular, extremely worried. This scenario has dogged themovement for years for other hated products, such as CHLORDANE, DDT, andLINDANE.

    11/25

    2277//0099//22000099

    If this scenario plays out in its entirety, the Canadian federal government

    may ultimately be forced to dispense hundreds of mil l ions of dollars for everypest control product prohibited in every province and municipality across Can-ada. THE PUPPET MASTER himself, along with those minion organizations thathave conspired to prohibit pest control products, may also be liable for hugesums of money. This scenario is mind boggling to people such as David Su-zuki, who has created the SUZUKI ALLIANCE with other members of the ENVI- RONMENTAL MOVEMENT, and who has retained the services of lawyers concern-ing the matter in an effort to pressure the federal government to avert this ju-risdictional catastrophe.

    Here is a statement from the Suzuki lawyer on March 24 t h , 2009.

    We cannot allow U.S. businesses to hand-cuff provinces from applying the precaution-ary principle when it comes to protectingresidents from potentially cancercausingchemicals. If the NAFTA challenge pro-ceeds, we will seek to intervene and submitthe viewpoint of environmental groups.

    Everyone knows that the GOVERNMENT OF QUEBEC and the CanadianFederal Government are both in a bind over the issue of 2,4D. The federalPEST MANAGEMENT REGULATORY AGENCY ofHEALTH CANADA has recently de-termined that2,4Dmeets Canadas strict health and safety standards, and assuch is acceptable for continued registration in Canada.

    In 2009, the SUZUKI ALLIANCE was formed with seven environmentalgroups to challenge the threat against the Quebec prohibition of pest control

    products. The head of this alliance is THE PUPPET MASTER himself and hisfoundation, David Suzuki. The ALLIANCE was set up to pool expertise and toincrease public awareness regarding the threat to the ENVIRONMENTAL MOVE-MENT. This alliance is also designed to give everyone the impression that theENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT has considerable size and power against thisthreat, when in fact, it does not.

    The SEVEN following organizations are calling upon the GOVERNMENT OFCANADA to vigorously defend Quebecs prohibition on pest control products. These groups oppose the DOW AGROSCIENCES lawful challenge of Quebecsprohibition under the NORTH AMERICAN FREE TRADE AGREEMENT (N.A.F.T.A.)Chapter 11. They also want federal government to acknowledge that it makessense to eliminate unnecessary chemical exposure to allegedly PROTECT hu-man health and the environment.

    Suzuki in British Columbia.

    In the PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (B.C.), David Suzuki, is leadingthe charge against pest control products. He has allied himself with TOXICFREE CANADA, CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY (C.C.S.), and others. Despite thefact that a provincial prohibition now appears possible, it is quite clear mostmajor municipalities throughout B.C. will have enacted their own prohibitionsagainstCOSMETIC PESTICIDES by2010 or2011, especially since the UNION OFB.C. MUNICIPALITIES gave its seal of approval in September 2008.

    As ofApril 2009, the following municipalities have enacted, or promisedto enact, a prohibition. Burnaby. Comox. Courtenay. Cumberland. Es-

    quimalt. Gibsons. Invermere (comes into effectMay 2009). Kelowna. MapleRidge. Nelson. New Westminster (comes into effectMarch 2010). North Van-couver. Port Moody. Salmon Arm (comes into effect March 2010). Sechelt. Vancouver. Victoria. West Vancouver. Whistler.

    In 2009, INTEGRATEDENVIRONMENTALPLANT MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION OFWESTERN CANADA (I.E.P.M.A.), in conjunc-tion with its membership, reacted in aVERYdecisive manner regarding the conspiracy toprohibit legal, safe, and irreplaceable pest

    control products in British Columbia.

    INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL PLANTMANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION OF WESTERNCANADA correctly recognized that this is thelast chance to prevent a senseless, needless,and malicious prohibition, and save theGreen Space Industry and its future.

    I.E.P.M.A. has undertaken a provincewide petition in order to show thegovernment that British ColumbiaDOES NOT require a prohibition on pest con-trol products that are already federally legal, scientifically safe, and totally irre-placeable.

    Suzukis apparent hypocrisy.

    HERES YOUR WEEKLY SCIENCE MATTERS COLUMN byDavid Suzuki withFaisal Moola. March 27 t h, 2009.

    Nows the time to take science seriously

    How can any society make important decisions about

    these issues without being scientifically l i terate and in-formed ?

    Too often, the role of science in solving our social, medi-cal, and economic problems is poorly understood be-cause the nature of scientific research, discovery, andapplication is not understood.

    [ ... ] good scientists make important discoveries, and to

    maintain a top group of scientists, we need a culture thatsupports and honours its researchers. That cant happenwhen science funding becomes a political hockey puckslapped around by whichever party comes into power.We need generous longterm support for our top scien-tists so that they can create clusters of enthusiastic, in-spired researchers.

    Evidently, Suzuki supports scientists WHEN IT SUITS HIM. He evidentlyDOES NOT SUPPORT those scientists working for PEST MANAGEMENT REGULA-TORYAGENCYofHEALTHCANADA (P.M.R.A.). How can any society make impor-tant decisions about pest control products without the scientifically literate andinformed P.M.R.A. ? In fact, Suzuki himself has NO expertise whatsoever inmatters relating to pest control products.

    The following people at Suzuki are the culprits that can be held account-able for conspiring to prohibit legal, safe, and irreplaceable pest control prod-ucts across Canada. They are responsible for the COSMETIC PESTICIDESBANACT being legislated by the GOVERNMENT OFONTARIO. Nobody associated withthis foundation appears to have any expertise in pest control products or turf &ornamental maintenance.

    WEED OUT PESTICIDES !

    Keeping unnecessary lawn and garden pesticides

    off store shelves is the best way to stop their use.

    That's why the David Suzuki Foundation is work-

    ing to ban both their sale and use in provincesacross Canada.

    With Ontario and Quebec banning unnecessary lawn and garden

    pesticides, and New Brunswick considering similar action, there is

    great promise for similar bans across the country.

    Ontario

    This week, a ban on lawn and garden pesticides was finalized by the

    government of Ontario. Starting this spring, 295 pesticides will be

    banned in Canada's most populous province, benefiting both hu-

    man health and the environment through reduced use and expo-

    sure.

    Yes we can, eh ? !

    This would never have happened without thousands of others like

    you, who used the David Suzuki Foundation website to tell gov-ernment officials the places we live, work and play should be free of

    needless chemical pesticides. Your collective effort strengthened

    the ban, even while the chemical lobby threatened to weaken it.

    You actions go beyond making Ontario the second province in Can-

    ada to ban lawn and garden pesticides. Now is the time to grab this

    momentum to ban pesticides in other provinces.

    Provincial Pesticide Bans Work !

    Quebec is currently the only province to restrict cosmetic pesticide

    sales (the Ontario ban will not be in place until 2009). Statistics

    Canada found that the number of households using pesticides in

    Quebec decreased by 50% between 1994 and 2005. Nationwide,

    pesticide use dipped by only 2 percentage points over the same pe-

    riod.

    FORCE OFNATUREwas launched for continuous transmission on the Internet on January 1st, 2009. It is a series of enewsletters destined for the GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY, the ENVIRONMENTAL TERROR MOVEMENT, politicians, municipalities,and the media, nationwide across Canada, and parts of the United States and overseas. FORCE OF NATURE is pro-duced in two parts. First. The MEDIA REPORT itself that reports on the current events affecting the future of theGREEN SPACE INDUSTRY. Second. INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE,which is a running commentary, sometimes technical innature. Force of Nature is the WHOLE TRUTH from an INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE !

    FORCE OF NATURE is the brainchild of William H. Gathercole and his entourage. Norah G is ac-tually an acronym for the stable of writers that contribute to this enewsletter. The opinionsexpressed in Force of Nature, even though from an INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE, may not reflectthose of everyone in the GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY, or Mr. Gathercoles many associates. Be

    warned ! Mr. Gathercole and Norah G may sometimes be very irreverent and fearless withthese 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

    science 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 ofENVIRON-MENTAL TERRORISM for over a quartercentury. His involvement in environmental issues reached a fevered pitch inthe 1990s, when he orchestrated, with others, legal action against unethical and excessive municipal regulationsrestricting the use 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 posi-tion has not precluded him from criticizing the Green Space Industry itself. Nonetheless, his vast knowledge of ourlong journey with environmental issues is UNDENIABLE. ( Hopefully ! ) For many years, Mr. Gathercole has been acontributing columnist forTURF&RECREATION Magazine, Canadas Turf and Grounds Maintenance Authority.

Culprits are identified on the basis of their statements, activities, affiliations, and whereabouts. Eventhough each culprit is a misguided adversary, each still deserves our respect. The term culprit is not an accu-sation of any legal wrongdoing. Force of Nature is simply holding culprits accountable for changes in public policythat have terrorized the Green Space Industry. Force of Nature believes that the prohibition policies of the ENVIRON-MENTAL TERROR MOVEMENT will lead to UNEMPLOYMENT, BANKRUPTCY, BUSINESS FAILURE, DESPAIR, and DESTITUTION. The ac-tions of the movement is viewed as a form ofTERROR against the Green Space Industry.
