Illegal Front Yard Garden: Canadian Couple's Kitchen Garden Targeted By Authorities

How dare you try to grow some veggies in your yard, and your kids trying to sell their lemonade!

YOU ARE A WITCH! BURN IT WITH FIRE!!!

Your "type" should be given life in prison, sharing a cell with a pedo.

You can pay off everything you bought or leased or whatever, but remember folks, you still gotta pay those property taxes!

Dumbass, do your really believe they are going to let you do what you want out there? There's a reason the White House established a Rural Council. They are coming after you. What happens in the city is going to reach you eventually. You are not an island.

Fine me until I'm a turnip. Another excellent example of government at work for the people.

The latter sounds like a good idea. One good reason that I can think of for a garden taking up your entire front yard being illegal is maybe people being more likely to steal your fruits and veggies?

1st I'd have to wonder if the city would be upset if it was either flat concrete OR non-edible plants. 2nd the City is just a stinking corporation that was established to do things like contract for services. Since when does a corporation get to tell me what I can and cannot do with my own property?

Watch some videos with Dean Clifford, a Canadian, who has some real eye-opening stuff about what a corporation has the power to do or not.

Basically the corp has nothing without a contract in place between you and it, and just moving into the city doesn't establish a contract. The City just forces it down your throat and nobody understands that there is no contract.

The City can't even make laws. The best they can do is rules, regulations and ordinances, which are not laws. You can tell them to shove it.

EXACTLY my sentiments! I have no issue with front yard gardens--- BUT, I would never plant so close to the curb. You've got exhaust fumes and oil on a daily basis. I wouldn't want anything from the front section of that garden.

To: Municipal Council Members of Drummondville, Quebec

We, the undersigned, stand in solidarity with front yard gardeners Josée Landry and Michel Beauchamp and call upon you to reverse your decision ordering them to remove their gardens by July 24th or face legal consequences. Front yard gardens aren't the problem; they're part of the solution.

In Canadia?!?!?!?!??!!!?!?

guess you guys aren't so great, huh?

universal health care that sucks
weather that sucks (!)
and now, fascism that sucks

Its not illegal to have a front yard garden, but there is land near the sidwalk and some boundaries that have be maintained.

Well one thing is for sure. Legistlation is NOT LAW, and the city is breaking its office of trust as an employee of the people to dictate in any way, what percentage of garden a person can have, or what part of the yard.

PERIOD.

And that means this must be taken to court, not only against the constitution.

But when your servants, read mcdonalds worker employees break trust adn if you have a bad judge, the correct procedure is to pass the hat, and get a dozen PI's on them and nail their asses to the wall.

Restore justice and get rid of corruption.

I don't think it should be illegal, but I sure wouldn't have all my wonderful vegies out front where just anyone can take what they want, including all the neighborhood dogs!

i agree there own grounds do what they like, but they did bring attension to themselves with growing it in the front
yard.

of course some elite worker shill going to stop them..

freedom and security are now deemed subversive
and correctly so.

anyway, canada- same as here- we only freehold our land from the crown. betty windsor owns it.
feudal monarchy.

That looks hideous, if that was my neighbor I would call and complain also, maybe even do a midnight visit with some weed/plant killer..

Truely sad, that the laws are so rediculous!

The people love it too. North Dakota could have eliminated their property tax but chose not to.

Deep breath's and try not to let it scare you so bad. They have been saying this boogeyman nonsense for years whether it is the 'Man in the biosphere' or 'Rural Council', maybe I'm just not fearful enough to live in the world you live in. And yes, I've been doing what I want to for many years.
