Genevieve Lamy says she doesn’t think her children will play with the hose again this summer. Not after she got a $102 ticket from the town of Granby, Que., because her daughters wanted to have a water balloon fight.
On Tuesday, a member of the town’s “green patrol” happened upon Félycia Lamy, 13, with hose in hand. She was in the midst of filling up a water balloon when, for only a moment, the hose was aimed at the asphalt. The officer in training passed by in that moment. Her six-year-old sister was hiding behind a tree. The green patrol member, part of a Granby program which hires students to enforce municipal bylaws related to the environment, called Félycia “ma’am” and demanded that she give him her identification. But Félycia told him she is “not a lady, but a child.”
A little wet asphalt was enough to warrant a hefty fine since the city’s bylaws prohibits residents from washing or cleaning their driveways with potable water, according to the officer. After he learned that Félycia was a teenager, he gave the ticket to her mother.
“If it would have been me who was watering the driveway, I would have paid the ticket without saying anything,” Lamy said. “But it was my girls, who were just having fun.”
Lamy was so mad that she took to Facebook to lament her situation. Part of the post read: “I go out to see what happened because I hear a stranger talking to my children, (and he explained) to me that he saw (her) watering the asphalt. If she would have been 14, she would have had a discount ticket, but given that she is 13, I am responsible for a full ticket.”

Publicize the name and face of this pathetic excuse for a human being, and shame him to self-immolation.
THIS is the very face of fascism! Kids can’t even play with a garden hose in their own yard?
What a mindless bully.

Ah Canada- The Fascism becomes thee
"I wear the chain I forged in life," replied the ghost of Canada past. "I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it."
In for a penny, in for a pound. She shoulda hosed him down.
I hate Quebec Nazis.
The town hires little Eichmanns to do their bidding.
bttt
Is there a water shortage in Quebec?????????????????????
How old is the student issuing the ticket,
The kids had water balloons and that jerkweed went home dry?
Quebec has an absolute drought of common sense. If one will pardon my expression, they have water out the ass in abundance. Water is not short in Quebec. Idiocy is far greater than their water resources that are beyond their ability to utilize with the exception of their hydro power that is due to the huge abundance of water. They export their abundant electrical power due to hydro-powered generation.
And in some places it is illegal to collect rainwater! liberals who have an inflated view of themselves lust to be in authority and pass laws.
Trudeau Troopers (Stormtroopers) or Quebec assholes being Quebec assholes. Lovely city. Run by Marxist/French irredentist fools.
Glad I saw it when it was sane and Laporte wasn’t strangled by Quebecoise terrorists.
this doesn’t make sense, Granby and Quebec are swimming in water.
this is about making people into arms of the state.
These youngsters are trained to walk our water areas here and report any issues. They do it for credit.
Typical Canadian mindset. The government is right and I should pay the fine.
A few miles south, the answer would have been quite different.
Green patrol. Sheesh.
Should have popped the officer with an acid balloon and claimed religious freedom.
You use the word Officer too easily. I read after I posted that the Green Patrol is a bunch of junior Gestapo high school kids given clipboards and a ticket book looking for anti-green scofflaws.
That’s like calling the clerks at TSA “Officers”
