Here, in Calgary, they are considered a pest. The grass dies back in
winter so the dandelions have a head start in spring and proliferate. If
you have a lot (and you soon will if you don't use 2-4-D regularly) and
allow them to seed, the city council, following complaints by neighbours,
will come and cut your lawn and charge you handsomely!
