This would actually benefit the industry. One of the advocates for the ban seems confused about toxins. Everything is toxic in a certain quantity. I'm not sure what pesticides she would ban. I see the Canadians going to an "approved list" of exempt pesticides that would avoid the ban, if imposed. It seems that rational moderate Canadians will prevail. Sensitivity bans cause major problems in the arena of property rights. I also noticed that while these advocates what to ban pesticides that are "toxic," they simultaneously want to impose a 24-48 notification. It doesn't really seem necessary if they are going to ban toxins. I wonder if this new law would prohibit residents from buying pesticides for do-it-yourself applications.
