Default Toronto to ban pesticides

Oh boo hoo. Maybe instead in five years people will learn to keep things
tidy without instantly resorting to chemicals... I know I'm trying to
learn. It's not too hard to pop out any dandelions you don't like to see.

Weeds have been around for thousands and thousands of years. So has grass.
Destruction! Really now...

I'm in Oshawa and would support restrictions of the cosmetic application of
chemicals. If I understand Toronto's proposed bylaw, this is what is really
the case. A restriction, not a full ban. You will be able to apply for an
exception if there is an infestation that needs to be taken care of.

I guess this is going to be one of those, " You don't know what you've got
'till it's gone " things. In about 5 years when our parks, boulevards and
even our lawns are destroyed perhaps common sense will prevail.
