TRILLIUM is a member of the ON-
TARIO ENVIRONMENT NETWORK. It is also a f inancia l SHIELD agency created by the GOVERNMENT OF ONTARIO to provide direct funding to organizations in the EN-
VIRONMENTAL TERROR MOVEMENT. This situation represents one of the great de-ceptive practices of our society. Govern-ment money acquired from honest and hard–working people in the GREEN
SPACE INDUSTRY are re–funnelled through TRILLIUM to culprits that promote and plot for their annihilation by prohibiting the legal, safe, and totally irre-placeable pest control products.
For example, since 1999, WORLD W ILDLIFE FUND OF CANADA (W.W.F.) alone has been provided with almost one–quarter o f a mi l l ion do l lars by
TRILLIUM. Thanks to the generosity of TRILLIUM, W.W.F. had the means
and/or the infra–structure to legally challenge the GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY in
the Hudson–Supreme–Court affair. As we all know, on June 28 th, 2001, THE
SUPREME COURT OF CANADA unfortunately upheld the by–law enacted by the TOWN OF HUDSON which prohibited the use of pest control products for the PROFESSIONAL LAWN CARE INDUSTRY and DO–IT–YOURSELF 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, TRILLIUM funded over 600 environmental projects across Ontario worth more than 47 mi l l ion do l lars . These grants supported a wide range of community–based and province–wide 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 mi l l ion f rom 100 mi l l ion dol lars in 2007, and will be further in-
creased to 120 mi l l ion dol lars in 2009–2010. This enhanced funding has
resulted in an increase to the maximum amount available for capital grants and the creation of a two–mi l l ion–dol lar FUTURE FUND, which focused in
2007–2008 on strengthening the activities of ENVIRONMENTAL TERROR OR-
GANIZATIONS. ( i.e. the COSMETIC PESTICIDES BAN ACT ) While the GOVERN-
MENT OF ONTARIO was seemingly listening to all interested parties regarding the fate of “ COSMETIC PESTICIDES ”, it was ostensibly conspiring towards the demise of the GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY by financing the ENVIRONMENTAL
TERROR MOVEMENT.
In 2007–2008 alone, almost one–hal f mi l l ion dol lars was provided
by THE ONTARIO TRILLIUM FOUNDATION to groups in the ENVIRONMENTAL
TERROR MOVEMENT dedicated to the destruction of the GREEN SPACE INDUS-
TRY by conspiring to prohibit legal, safe, and totally irreplaceable pest control
products. During the period 1999–2009, over one–and–a–half mill ion 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 ENVIRONMENTAL TERROR MOVEMENT were financially strong enough to guarantee the passage of the Ontario COS-
METIC PESTICIDES BAN ACT. TRILLIUM will likely claim that the money was
never given for this purpose. But hey ! TRILLIUM did pay for some of the in-fra–structures of the ENVIRONMENTAL TERROR ORGANIZATIONS. Evidently, most of them used TRILLIUM money, directly or indirectly, to change public pol-icy concerning “ COSMETIC PESTICIDES ”. It may be a clear conflict–of–interest to 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 ONTARIO
TRILLIUM FOUNDATION during the period of time covering the public debates on
the Toronto prohibition and the Ontario prohibition (2001–2008). As we all
know, the COURT OF APPEAL FOR ONTARIO concluded in 2004 that the C ITY
OF TORONTO did have the authority to pass its by–law which restricted the use
of pest control products. In 2008, the COSMETIC PESTICIDES BAN ACT was legislated by the GOVERNMENT OF ONTARIO. The success of these prohibitions were clearly financed by TRILLIUM, as well as other sources.

TRILLIUM RESPONSE TO PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT .
[ Trillium has ] reviewed the draft article in-cluded with this e–mail and must advise you that the position it outlines is incorrect. The Ontario Trillium Foundation does not fund ad-vocacy efforts that do not meet the guidelines for not–for–profit organizations under the Ca-nadian Revenue Agency rules. This would in-clude advocacy efforts which are politically motivated or supportive of a specific political party or viewpoint. Further to this we have an internal 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 you have implied in your article.
0077//0099//22000099
The following people associated with O.T.F. are the culprits that can
be held accountable for financing the prohibitions that have been detrimental to the GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY regarding its use of pest control products. They are responsible for the COSMETIC PESTICIDES
BAN ACT being legislated by the GOVERNMENT OF ONTARIO.

Force of Nature was launched for continuous transmission on the Internet on January 1st, 2009. It is a series of e–newsletters destined for the GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY, the ENVIRONMENTAL TERROR MOVEMENT, politicians, municipalities, and the media, nation–wide 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 e–newsletter and have now replaced Mr. Gathercole. The opinions expressed in Force of Nature, even though from an INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE, may not reflect those of everyone in the GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY, or Mr. Gathercole’s many as-sociates. Be warned ! Mr. Gathercole and Norah G may sometimes be very irreverent and fearless with these e–newsletters. DON’T THANK US. IT’S 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 quarter–century. 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 being ANTI–ENVIRONMENT–MOVEMENT, 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. Gathercole has been a contributing columnist for TURF & RECREATION Magazine, Canada’s Turf and Grounds Maintenance Authority. All document excerpts and pictures contained in FORCE OF NATURE were found somewhere on the Internet. We believe that they are in the public domain, serving one of the following purposes : archive, education, promotion, publicity, or press release. 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 not always fictitious. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, may not be coincidental. The mission of Force of Nature is as a National Organization Responding Against Huje that harm the Green Space Industry with statements and activities seeking to prohibit FEDERALLY LEGAL, 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 mis–guided adversary, each still deserves our respect. The terms culprit or terrorist are not an accusation of any legal wrong–doing. 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 the prohibitionist 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 against the Green Space Industry. The following titles are currently available.
