If your kid is licking the grass, I think you have bigger things to worry about than why your neighbour is using poison on it.

It comes down to, loose correlations have been made to the use of pesticides and diseases such as cancer and parkinson's disease. There is no smoking gun concluding causation, but the philosophy is that there could be a concern and if we don't absolutely need them why not ban them. Once again your freedom to make choices will be compromised by the "Shoulda, Coulda, wouldas" of the world. Another thing that's laughable though is that what's going to happen after these bans are in place. All of a sudden Home Depot's in Okatoks and Airdrie will become massively more profitable. Afterall I'm not going to let Pinko's like Dru Farrell ruin my lawn, nor my drive thru habit!
