Protect our children
Pass a Pesticide Ban in Edmonton!

EDMONTON - On Thursday, May 6th a broad coalition of local mothers, residents, scientists, teachers, and doctors will re-launch a campaign to make Edmonton Pesticide Free. The group, supported by The Lung Association, Alberta & NWT, Canadian Cancer Society, Alberta & NWT, and Sierra Club Prairie, will all be on hand at Earths General Store to speak to the importance of Edmonton passing a Pesticide Free By-Law so to protect the health of our children and our communities.

These health problems can develop in anyone after being exposed to a pesticide, however it has been proven repeatedly that children are most vulnerable.

  1. WHO IS ELISABETH BEAUBIEN ?

    Let’s clearly identify that Elisabeth Beaubien is a Non-Expert Anti-Pesticide Activist who is PAID-FOR-PROFIT by Pesticide Free Edmonton, a small garden club of unemployed or unemployable women that has NOT even updated its web-site since February 8th, 2010.

    Nonetheless, this LOCAL ANTI-PESTICIDE ORGANIZATION is listed among CANADA’S PROMINENT ANTI-PESTICIDE & ENVIRONMENTAL-TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS. http://wp.me/P1jq40-48S

    Furthermore, Beaubien is a middle-aged forestry student at the University of Alberta, and possesses NO RECOGNIZED EXPERTISE WHATSOEVER in matters concerning pest control products ― her opinions are TOTALLY VALUELESS and UTTERLY WORTHLESS.

    Nonetheless, Beaubien cycles and walks around town LOOKING FOR TROUBLE ― in the form of HAPLESS Professional Lawn Care employees who are PROTECTING LANDSCAPES from damaging pests in the City of Edmonton.

    Employees are strongly urged NOT to RESPOND to her VERBAL HARASSMENTS, and NOT to answer ANY of her questions.

    Beaubien must be politely told to contact the employer or Health Canada.

    There is NOTHING to be gained by responding to an Anti-Pesticide Activist.

    Beaubien has also attempted to SCAM and DECEIVE Edmonton Government Officials into believing that it is necessary to PROHIBIT conventional pest control products that are, in fact, HEALTH-CANADA-APPROVED, ALBERTA-APPROVED, FEDERALLY and PROVINCIALLY LEGAL, SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE, and PRACTICALLY-NON-TOXIC.

    In fact, PROHIBITION will NEEDLESSLY DESTROY the livelihood of employees who are PROFESSIONALLY-TRAINED, LAW-ABIDING, and TAX-PAYING.

    Beaubien is listed among CANADA’S PROMINENT ANTI-PESTICIDE TERRORISTS. http://wp.me/P1jq40-46L

    She has been a PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT in the CONSPIRACY TO RECKLESSLY AND ARBITRARILY PROHIBIT against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape.

    Her ANTI-PESTICIDE TERRORIST ACTS OF SUBVERSION have EXTENSIVELY DAMAGED the Professional Lawn Care Industry.

    There is NOT ONE KNOWN illness or death from the proper use of pest control products used in the urban landscape.

    Perhaps if Beaubien were to prioritize her energy to the primary causes of health problems, such as life-style choices, lives would be saved.

    Pest control products are SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE, and will NOT CAUSE HARM TO PEOPLE, ANIMALS, OR THE ENVIRONMENT. http://wp.me/p1jq40-7HR
