Ont. to enact toughest pesticide restrictions in Canada despite trade dispute
Ontario is ... prohibiting the sale and cosmetic use of more than 80 ingredients and 250 products...
Experts, such as the Ontario College of Family Physicians, have warned that the long-term effects of exposure to pesticides can be devastating, especially to pregnant women and children.
But unlike Quebec, Ontario municipalities are forbidden from enacting tougher anti-pesticide rules...
"The City of Toronto had rules in place that had gone beyond what's going to be enforced in Ontario."
Ontario will still allow pesticides to be used in farming, forestry or for health and safety reasons, such as controlling mosquitoes that can carry diseases like the West Nile virus.
Golf courses will also be able to use pesticides, but must meet certain conditions to minimize the effects on the environment.
>:( Golf courses?! #%@$#
