WTF! Man fined $5,200 for growing cucumbers in basement
(NaturalNews) Mission, British Columbia, resident Len Gratto recently experienced the wrath of local city officials who fined him $5,200 for growing cucumbers in his basement. Under current laws, municipal regulators are permitted to enter premises on suspicion that a homeowner is illegally growing marijuana -- and even if no pot is found, they can levy the fines anyway.

"It's upsetting they can do this," explained Gratto to The Province. "We were growing cucumbers in the basement because they wouldn't take outside."

Several other area residents have been wrongly targeted by officials and levied fines for engaging in legal activities as well, including Stacy Gowanlock who was order to pay roughly $10,000 in fees and "repair orders" because investigators found traces of "dirt" in her basement and "a furnace pipe going up into the chimney, where it should be."

The grow-op bylaw programs used to search properties on the marijuana suspicions state that municipal inspectors can enter homes simply because they use excessive amounts of water.

They elect their reps.

If their reps don't listen to them, they can vote them out.

If they refuse to leave, one would have to read our founding fathers documents to learn what to do.

It's a 2 way street, there are shitty Canadians, and there are shitty Americans. Most of them are in power, but a lot of them also troll these forums.

I lived in Canada, Ontario and BC- Cans are just jealous of Americans. They have little brother syndrome and spend much of their time trying to convince you how terrible America is, when they are going down to the states to go shopping.

Canada is getting full up of hongs that are taking over the place. The hongs don't like the cans, but the hongs have money and the cans spend much time on the government tit.

It started getting bad when Hong Kong was going back to China, and Canada would take ANYONE with $1500 cdn which was about .75 to the 1USD. The hongs that couldn't get in America took the second best option and went to Can-town.

I bet in the future they'll make the hongs take down their hong signs and replace them with french/english, but the hongs are running the place, so it's hard to tell.

Canada lost it's identy and is now a nation of hongs and africans. Toronto used to be nice until africa moved in, now shootings, looting, and jive.

Good luck Canada- I still like to visit Hongcouver and bang easy can girls while I carry a carton of marlies and drink realmicro brew from Seattle.
