Cross-posting troll needs to grow his own food.

Me and others will take chances (small risk - or don't eat meatn) with the
meat.
The alternative is (for our taxes) to pay for an inspector 24/7 on a farm.
And we're not prepared to pay the extra taxes.
Same for the US and any other country.

Pesticides are the mandate and decision of each Province.

New Law to Weed Out Lawn and Garden Pesticides in Ontario

Now that Ontario and Quebec have provincial bans on unnecessary lawn and
garden pesticides, it’s time for the rest of Canada to follow suit.

Take Action now to get your province pesticide free!

Ontario legislature approves ban on lawn and garden pesticides!

On June 18, 2008, lawmakers in Ontario passed the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban
Act, which prohibits the sale and use of pesticides on lawns and gardens
throughout Canada's largest province. See news release

This is a major step towards reducing pesticide use, because not allowing
pesticides on store shelves is simply the best way to make sure that they’re
not used.

Valentine number 3If you are one of the thousands of Ontario residents who
contacted the government in support of a sales ban, THANK YOU! You are a
part of this important victory.

But this good news has some rough edges.

First, the new law prevents cities and towns from enforcing bylaws that are
more restrictive of pesticide use than the provincial ban. It also allows
golf courses to continue using pesticides and gives power to the Ontario
minister of the environment to allow other exemptions--a potentially
dangerous loophole.

Important details the ban will be finalized in the coming months as the
government develops regulations. The regulations are where “the rubber hits
the road”: it will detail which pesticides are banned and when exemptions
are allowed.

The David Suzuki Foundation is calling on the province to match or exceed
the strongest pesticide bylaws already in place in cities like Toronto and
Peterborough.

David Suzuki explains why his garden is free of chemical pesticides.

Tips to make your own garden pesticide free.

The cross-posting troll must be in a different province or doesn't read the
news.
Nww, if only we could find an effective pesticide against cross-posting
trolls.
