Today's (Thursday) Call-In from CBC Radio One FM 90.5 is the issue of 
Cosmetic Pesticide Use that is causing harm to persons with chemical 
sensitivities.  Please listen and and please call in to support more 
controls on these dangerous poisons.  The phone-in is from 1 to 2 PM.  
Call in early to get your name in.

ALSO:  The Daily News Hot Line is on the same question, as forwarded below.
Please consider replying to this right away.  I just found it.  Sometimes 
they still accept replies even after the cut-off time, which is 12 noon 
on Thursday.

Please also consider letters to the editor to newspapers and other media 
and to government officials.

   Should city help?
   
   A Halifax woman whose daughter has severe asthma is pleading with the
   city to ban pesticide spraying by homeowners. She moved out of her
   neighborhood while nearby spraying occurs. She has pushed her
   neighbors to end the practice. Should the city act to protect people
   from airborne pesticides?
   Call the Hotline at 468-2784 or e-mail to
   sbornais@-hfxnews.southam.ca and tell us - as briefly as possible -
   what you think and why.
   To be directly quoted, please leave your name and phone number. The
   Hotline will be open until noon tomorrow. The results will be in
   Saturday's paper.
