So yes, PLEASE force people to have permits before they go DESTROYING property (and saying 'oops sorry') because they don't know what they're doing.
But gosh, how have we lasted hundreds of years without tree cutting permits? Surely we must be grateful that we made it to 2006 alive without such government supervision!

Castles everywhere...
Actually, this is a good point. But in principle it is kind of going too far. If you own the properly, continually pay property tax, you should be able to do whatever you want with it.
OT, your avatar really speaks to me.

the idea of not being able to park on your street is completely stupid and incomprehensible.
this is bullshit, just another way for the guvernment to make money, home owner should be able to do what he wants to do on HIS property, If he wants to park cars on his lawn he should be able to, it is his land isn't it? or is it public? wtf!

while i agree im guessing its in case of a fire during the night? or maybe because of the garbage pick up..
If that were the case, then why would they allow parking on the street during the day? Do emergencies only happen at night? Why do people downtown get to park on streets, garage and/or driveway or not? The roads in those subdivisions are wide enough. Actually worried about emergencies? Then allow parking on 1 side of the road.
There is NO reason why cars cant park on the street at night. The stupid thing is, in Thornhill, you could park til 2am. So, a law is in effect for a whole whopping 4-6 hrs of the night, when no one will be bothered with the site of cars on street anyways?
S-T-U-P-I-D!!!

How is that a bad point?
Explain to me how we have lived so long without so many government regulations? Did everyone suddenly take a stupid pill?
I think the answer is that everyone suddenly got selfish and politicians are reacting. ie) i dont like that so im going to get them to make a law about it

although what they need to do in sauga and brampton is make it illegal for you to have a house with 50 people and 50 cars and park all the cars on the road and none on the driveway. wtf is up with that?
