Jean Cottam, PhD Tue, 26 Jan 2010 14:22:05 +0000 http://www.coreyburger.ca/?p=1790#comment-1498 Here is a newsworthy item: a Kingston lobbyist is attempting to initiate a lawsuit against the Ontario "Enviro-maniacs" and "Basterds" as well as other "Culprits", whom he identifies as responsible for the Ontario ban on the cosmetic use of pesticides. The targeted group includes both prominent and ordinary citizens. Ontario's Minister of the Environment is the prime target. (Note the spelling of "basterds"; why can't this man and his followers spell this word properly; this is especially puzzling to me.) For the past 13 months all the targeted individuals--both prominent and ordinary Canadians-- held responsible for the Ontario ban by this lobbyist and his followers (comprising a small group of lawn-care companies) have been receiving, on a daily basis and against their will, a colourful newsletter with an aggressive anti-ban propaganda, predictably ending with a full-page picture of a very pretty girl, often with a finger in her mouth.
