Pull the Canadian Thistle and the gubmint won’t spray. Seems like an easy solution to me.
So this is environmentalism.
I was wondering if it’s an invasive species issue. “Canadian Thistle” isn’t native to Canada as the name would suggest, but Europe and Asia. It’s an invasive species, which tells you this is environmentalism.
The offender here in New York is Purple Loosestrife. The State Department of Transportation here has spent millions trying to eradicate it in the roadway right-of-way. There might be a roadside meadow 400 feet deep chuck full of purple loosestrife and the State will spend thousands eradicating it in JUST the first 10-20 feet of the road. It’s pure folly...but apparently the condo conservationist are desturbed if it’s close to the road or their Prius.
