Province doing chemical industry a favour

Posted by Magda
A Torstar columnist has an interesting take on the province's announcement this week that cities won't, in fact, be allowed to have pesticide rules more stringent than the province's. That's an about-face from what Premier McGuinty said on Earth day.

Star columnist Thomas Walkom writes that by overriding all municipal bylaws, the province is ensuring an upper limit, rather than a lower limit, on pesticide bans, thus ensuring the chemical industry remains in business.

Magda:So,let me get this straight,the aim of the anti-pesticiders is to close down the chemical industry-where would your newsprint ink come from-China?!More jobs out the window,making Ontario more of a "have-not" province than it is already becoming!
