And there you have it folks, quote of the century. Pretty soon they will find that you cant get blood from a stone.

Fucking assholes.

I didn't know it was their job

I can understand wanting to get rid of old lawnmowers that produce pollution but unless the government is going to give handouts to people so they can buy new lawnmowers then the government shouldn't be banning them.

I have a non-motorized push lawnmower...not because I'm environmentally friendly but because I don't have a large yard.

I don’t see what’s wrong with this…

They aren’t banning them at least not right away – if they do it will take years to happen.

They just need to make an aggressive plan to remove them from Toronto homes – offering rebates and/or other initiatives for buying environmentally friendly lawnmowers or (although this would have to be a provincial strategy) banning the sale of these polluting lawn mowers at retailers.

I agree with this to a degree. Banning it isn’t the way to do it… but doing EVERYTHING else to encourage and FORCE people to stop using these lawn mowers is necessary. It just needs to happen through multiple steps and years and the government needs to spend time EDUCATING people. The fact is too many people are selfish, stupid, and arrogant – the government has to take forceful action or people will never stop.

I didn't know municipal government was in charge of environment.

last I checked, that was a provincial thing

More important things to worry about in Toronto than lawnmowers...

So when exactly do you draw the line when it comes to controlling people's lives? Does every little thing need to be government approved?

Do we all need to follow the way of the oracles in city hall or die?

Seriously when is enough enough?

The people have the right to be selfish, stupid and arrogant, as long as they are not harming others

The problem is the government doesn't want to spend the money or take the time to educate people...which is what the government should be doing....that is their job. They just want to skip those steps and go right to banning something.

I have no issue with getting rid of polluting lawnmowers as long as the government provides rebates when you purchase a new lawnmower. Somehow I don't think this will be the case...it will be more of a stop using them or we will fine you approach.
