The Evil Doer.

[OSHA]

He should be hung, drawn and quartered then chopped to bits by an illegally repaired lawn mower.

Coming to America soon.....more liberal globalist business-socialism.

You can only operate a business unless we say so....or if you want to move it to Commie China..here is some $$$

[fish hawk]

Living proof of what happens when a country goes full on Liberal. Government control to the point of ridiculous. Just what Obama will bring to us (or US)

[IYAS9YAS]

He’s among the last of a dying breed. When I was young, there was always someone, or several someones, around my neighborhood who could fix just about anything, and you could learn something from. Now, nobody even talks to their neighbors...

[Liberty Valance]

Silly man. Doesn’t he know that all work by the prols must be sanctioned by the State? Charity? All charity comes from the State.

[MEGoody]

Just another socialist government looking to rob decent citizens of more money. Nothing to see here.

[Old Student]

They better thank their lucky stars this guy isn't a redhead, like my Grampa. He'd have beaten them like a drum for something like this. And had a lot of help from the neighbors, too. He did handyman/fix-it chores for a lot people in his neighborhood.

[Snurple]

the City of Pickering has charged him with operating an illegal business - even though he's never charged a penny for his work.

Ah, gotta love those mindless bureaucrats, no matter what country they remain the same....stupid.

[ozzymandus]

If fixing somebody’s stuff for free is a crime, I guess I’m a repeat offender, and I know I’m not alone. All the people who have fixed stuff for me and not charged me are criminals, too, according to the idiot Canadian govt.

[untrained skeptic]

Cite every member of the city council that is behind this for running an unlicensed political lobbying company out of their homes. Cite them for violations going back to whenever the law was enacted or whenever they started their political careers, whichever came first.

[TheBattman]

But Pickering's commercial zoning bylaws do not allow any form of home business whatsoever - and the penalties are severe.

Now, I can kind of grasp the nurse who has the garden - shoe does "sell" stuff from it (although still seems rather Gestapo-like).

But Grandpa fixing folks stuff for absolutely FREE... What part of that classifies it as a "business"?

[Oldpuppymax]

Who does that thug, criminal think he is....avoiding all of the taxes that go with doing anything but breathing! The danger that he could start a trend of tax avoidance could bring down the entire country. I say execute him on the spot...along with his entire family and their pets.

[Stark_GOP]

No good deed goes unpunished.

[Dr.Deth]

Like they used to say in the Soviet Union:

“That which is not compulsory is prohibited.”
