Toxic, invasive weed hits southern Ontario

I'm pretty sure we have that on Vancouver Island. Once you report it the city is pretty fast at removing it

You're right....Invasive plant that can cause blindness is popping up in Ontario, B.C.

Reminds me of an old Genesis song.

And the Ontario Liberals outlawed weed killer.

Maybe we should send Dalton out to pull these weeds by hand.

That's what I have to do. Pisses me right off.

So did the Alberta PCs, it's a trend these days.

So we are going to kill everything that might be a little dangerous to our poor little skins?
Why don't we just take EVERY bit of nature down, and dump asphalt on the ground, so we know for sure nature can not harm us?

Why can't you just handle the problem in a "civilized" way just sneak across the border for dinner and on the way home quietly get industrial strength weed killer and go on a jihad against the weeds? (at nighttime of course)

It's a hell of a lot better than risking your eyesight trying to pull out the damn things.

I have a trip to Buffalo planned.

I'm not looking to eradicate nature Brenda, just the weeds in my lawn.

Don't remember that one, but I remember punkweed

Pick Our Fill Of Punkweed & Smoke It 'Til We Bleed, That's All We'll Need

Oh, I have no problem with that, but the "biologists" tell us to tell whenever we see it so "the city can take care of it". My thoughts? When you go into the woods, wear long pants and a long sleeved shirt.

Invasive plants along the highway? Who cares? Leave them be, they are there for a reason...

Given that it's sap can cause permanent blindness, I'd hardly call this "a little dangerous".

And what is the chance you get it in your eyes, and what is the chance that it actually causes blindness?

You do realize that bleach, stainless steel cleaner, dusting spray, toilet bowl cleaner, oven cleaner, carpet cleaner, window cleaner, drain cleaner, etc etc, stuff we use every single day in our houses, can cause blindness or severe damage to the eyes?
Want to ban that too?
