“…yard sales are popping up more than
ever. Not only can the seller make a few bucks, the buyers can hit the
mother lode and acquire needed items at a tiny percentage of the price.
Its win-win, right?Not to the federal government of Canada.
If money is changing hands outside the system, the government is certain
to want to put a stop to it. What better way to halt trade that doesnt
benefit them than to regulate it?In a
news release dated May 15, 2012,
Health Canada
(the federal department responsible for public health) cautions against
buying or selling goods at a garage sales. In fact, the regulations
affect not only the sale of second-hand goods, but the
donation of them.The legal basis of this is a legislation passed last
June.On June
20, 2011,
the Canada
Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA)
came into force. Its purpose is to protect the public by addressing and
preventing dangers to human health or safety that are posed by consumer
products in Canada.
There is no distinction under the CCPSA and its regulations between new
and used products. Any person who sells, distributes, or gives away
consumer products that do not comply with the Act or its current
regulations is breaking the law in Canada.This makes it illegal to pass on hand-me-downs, sell
items on Craigslist, hold yard sales or garage sales, or donate these
items to others in need. As with all governmental documents, the
wording is so vague that it is completely open to interpretation. The
published rhetoric focuses on items designed for infants and children
but cautions, Buyers and sellers are urged to exercise caution
regarding all consumer products.One notable example of a hazardous product is
loose fitting cotton sleepwear. Cotton or cotton-blends may only
be used for tight-fitting styles such as sleepers or polo pajamas.
Other odd caveats:
~
Plush animals that have detachable eyes or noses
~
Costume jewelry (could contain lead or cadmium)
~
Baby gates without instructions and original packaging
~
Cosmetics unless they comply with the Food and Drugs Act
~
MP3 players that could pose the risk of electric shock
~
Window blinds or curtainsFor eagle-eyed
yard-sale attendees or hand-me-down beneficiaries, an easy-to-use
tattle-tale form is available on the Health Canada website. With
unparalleled convenience, the online form is automatically submitted to
instigate an investigation of the questionable item.This is another example of a government condescending to
care for its citizens as though they are unable to exercise common
sense when buying or selling goods. The wildly intrusive law is just
another method of control over the way people make money and the way
people spend it.Other recent incidents of ridiculous regulations:
Three little girls in Georgia
were busted by the police chief for having a lemonade stand in their
front yard. According to the Chief of Police, health was of great
concern. ”We were not aware of how the lemonade was made, who made the
lemonade, of what the lemonade was made with, so we acted accordingly by
city ordinance.
A group of moms in Minnesota
were threatened with criminal charges for distributing some farm fresh
surplus to needy local families.
A Michigan woman was threatened
with jail time for raising an organic garden in her front yard.
Two Delaware neighbourhoods had
all of their basketball nets and poles removed by the Department of
Transportation and the state police.The intrusion into normal everyday activities, the
excessive regulations, and the threats of criminal and civil liability
are all tyrannical actions by governments that are attempting to
implement total control.Citizens will be only allowed to own approved items,
purchased from approved outlets. Kids cant make money with a little
hard work. Charity cannot be given if you are blessed with an abundant
harvest. Citizens should only eat and drink regulated concessions,
purchased from taxable outlets that have been pre-monitored by the nanny
state.Welcome to the totalitarian world of
Agenda 21.
Be strong and of
good courage, do not fear nor be afraid…
for the Lord your
God, He is the One who goes with you.
He will not leave
you nor forsake you.
