    TRILLIUM is a member of the ON-TARIO ENVIRONMENT NETWORK. It is alsoa f inancial SHIELD agency created bythe GOVERNMENT OFONTARIO to providedirect funding to organizations in the EN-

    VIRONMENTALTERROR MOVEMENT. Thissituation represents one of the great de-ceptive practices of our society. Govern-ment money acquired from honest and hard working people in the GREENSPACE INDUSTRY are refunnelled through TRILLIUM to culprits that promoteand plot for their annihilation by prohibiting the legal, safe, and totally irre-placeable pest control products.

    For example, since 1999, WORLD WILDLIFE FUND OF CANADA (W.W.F.)alone has been provided with almostonequarter of a mil l ion dol lars by

    TRILLIUM. Thanks to the generosity of TRILLIUM, W.W.F. had the meansand/or the infrastructure to legally challenge the GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY in

    the HudsonSupremeCourt affair. As we all know, on June 28 th, 2001, THESUPREME COURT OF CANADA unfortunately upheld the bylaw enacted by theTOWN OF HUDSON which prohibited the use of pest control products for thePROFESSIONAL LAWN CARE INDUSTRY and DOITYOURSELF HOMEOWNERS.Agriculture and golf clubs were exempted.

    THE ONTARIO TRILLIUM FOUNDATION is the largest funder of the environ-

    mental not

    for

    profit sector in Ontario. Between 2001 and 2006, TRILLIUMfunded over 600 environmental projects across Ontario worth more than 47mil l ion dol lars . These grants supported a wide range of communitybasedand provincewide initiatives in areas as diverse as public education, the resto-ration of wildlife habitat, environmental health, and energy conservation.

    THE ONTARIO TRILLIUM FOUNDATION annual funding was boosted to

    105 mill ion from 100 mill ion dollars in 2007, and will be further in-creased to 120 mill ion dollars in 20092010. This enhanced funding hasresulted in an increase to the maximum amount available for capital grantsand the creation of a twomill iondollar FUTURE FUND, which focused in

    20072008 on strengthening the activities of ENVIRONMENTALTERROR OR-GANIZATIONS. ( i.e. the COSMETIC PESTICIDES BAN ACT ) While the GOVERN-MENT OF ONTARIO was seemingly listening to all interested parties regardingthe fate of COSMETIC PESTICIDES , it was ostensibly conspiring towards thedemise of the GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY by financing the ENVIRONMENTAL

    TERRORMOVEMENT.

    In 20072008 alone, almostonehalf mill ion dollars was providedby THE ONTARIO TRILLIUM FOUNDATION to groups in the ENVIRONMENTALTERRORMOVEMENTdedicated to the destruction of the GREEN SPACE INDUS-TRY by conspiring to prohibit legal, safe, and totally irreplaceable pest control

    products. During the period 19992009, over oneandahalf million dol-lars was provided to the movement. As we all know, the PROVINCE OF ON-

    TARIO introduced legislation for the COSMETIC PESTICIDES BAN ACT on April

    22nd, 2008. Thanks to TRILLIUM funding, public affairs lobbying, and adver-tising campaigns orchestrated by the ENVIRONMENTALTERROR MOVEMENT

    were financially strong enough to guarantee the passage of the Ontario COS-METIC PESTICIDES BAN ACT. TRILLIUM will likely claim that the money wasnever given for this purpose. But hey! TRILLIUMdid pay for some of the in-frastructures of the ENVIRONMENTALTERROR ORGANIZATIONS. Evidently,most of them used TRILLIUMmoney, directly or indirectly, to change public pol-icy concerning COSMETIC PESTICIDES . It may be a clear conflictofinterestto use government money for the purpose of promoting prohibitions of legal,safe, and irreplaceable pest control products.

    Coincidentally, large sums of money were provided by THE ONTARIOTRILLIUMFOUNDATION during the period of time covering the public debates on

    the Toronto prohibition and the Ontario prohibition (20012008). As we allknow, the COURT OF APPEAL FOR ONTARIO concluded in 2004 that the CIT Y

    OF TORONTOdid have the authority to pass its bylaw which restricted the use

    of pest control products. In 2008, the COSMETIC PESTICIDES BAN ACT waslegislated by the GOVERNMENT OFONTARIO. The success of these prohibitions

    were clearly financed byTRILLIUM, as well as other sources.

    TRILLIUM RESPONSE TO PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT.

    [ Trillium has ] reviewed the draft article in-cluded with this email and must advise youthat the position it outlines is incorrect. TheOntario Trillium Foundation does not fund ad-vocacy efforts that do not meet the guidelines

    for notforprofit organizations under the Ca-nadian Revenue Agency rules. This would in-clude advocacy efforts which are politicallymotivated or supportive of a specific political

    party or viewpoint. Further to this we have aninternal policy that reiterates this position.This policy was last reviewed in 2008. There-

    fore, to be clear, the OTF did not fund activi-ties by the organizations listed below as youhave implied in your article.

    Force of Nature was launched for continuous transmission on the Internet on January 1st, 2009. It is a series of enewsletters destined for theGREEN 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 produced in two parts. First. The MEDIA RE-PORT itself that reports on the current events affecting the future of the GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY. Second. INDEPENDENT PER-SPECTIVE, which is a running commentary, sometimes technical in nature. Force of Nature is the WHOLE TRUTH from an INDE-PENDENT PERSPECTIVE !

    FORCE OF NATURE is the brainchild of William H. Gathercole and his entourage. Norah G is actually an acronym for the stable of writers

    that contribute to this enewsletter and have now replaced Mr. Gathercole. The opinions expressed in Force of Nature, even though from anINDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE, may not reflect those of everyone in the GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY, or Mr. Gathercoles many as-sociates. Be warned ! Mr. Gathercole and Norah G may sometimes be very irreverent and fearless with these enewsletters. DONTTHANK 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, including public affairs, per-sonal safety, and environmental issues. Mr. Gathercole has been a consultant and instructor for decades. He has also been an agricultural

    agronomist. Mr. Gathercole has followed the evolution of ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM for over a quartercentury. His involve-ment in environmental issues reached a fevered pitch in the 1990s, when he orchestrated, with others, legal action against unethical and exces-sive municipal regulations restricting the use of pest control products. ( i.e. the Town of Hudson. ) Although he can be accused of beingANTIENVIRONMENTMOVEMENT, he is, in fact, simply a strong advocate FOR the GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY, from an IN-DEPENDENDT PERSPECTIVE. However, this position has not precluded him from criticizing the Green Space Industry itself. Nonethe-less, his vast knowledge of our long journey with environmental issues is UNDENIABLE. ( Hopefully ! ) For many years, Mr. Gathercolehas been a contributing columnist for TURF & RECREATION Magazine, Canadas Turf and Grounds Maintenance Authority.

    We believe that ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM can be BEATEN ! Information presented in FORCE OF NATURE has been devel-

    oped for the education and entertainment of the reader. The events, characters, companies, and organizations, depicted in this document are notalways fictitious. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, may not be coincidental. The mission of Force of Nature is as a NationalOrganization Responding Against Huje that harm the Green Space Industry with statements and activities seeking to prohibit FEDERALLYLEGAL, SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE, and TOTALLY IRREPLACEABLE conventional pest control products. Culprits are identified on

    the basis of their statements, activities, affiliations, and whereabouts. Even though each culprit is a misguided adversary, each still deserves

    our respect. The terms culprit or terrorist are not an accusation of any legal wrongdoing. Force of Nature is simply holding culprits account-able for conspiring to change public policies that TERRORIZE and THREATEN the Green Space Industry. Force of Nature believes that theprohibitionist policies of the ENVIRONMENTAL TERROR MOVEMENT will lead to UNEMPLOYMENT, BANKRUPTCY,BUSINESS FAILURE, DESPAIR, and DESTITUTION. The actions of culprits in the movement is viewed as a form of TERROR againstthe Green Space Industry.
