1 edit | [Serious] Having a yard sale? Health Canada has issued directive that you are responsible for ensuring the products meet all current regulatory requirements.
Selling not old hockey helmet? Better make sure it's no more then 5yrs old, has a CSA number, and date of manufacture. Of course to make sure you are compliant, Health Canada will be sending out inspectors to make random checks.

No, I didn't. Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake....... |

But but, we need regulations to keep us safe! Regulations never cause people to go bankrupt. |

I think the government forgets, that no matter how much regulation and safety stuff they mandate, you still can't protect a moron from himself. |

I would be okay with the government not spending money on this. |

If we protected morons from themselves, how would we get rid of them? |

Those morons have innocent kids though. You purchase a child's carseat at a yard sale, you expect it to be safe - not on a recall list because it failed horrible, or its expired & is unsafe to use anymore.. » www.thriftyandchicmom.com/2010/0···ce-them/--

Everything to everyone, All the time. This is what happens when .govs are allowed to borrow money in our name, petty bureaucratic causes receive funds to gestate, grow and (d)evolve while the Leviathan rarely has to prioritize what ought to be OUR limited resources.

That's more then reasonable, we are talking about the life if a child, but to expect me to have the manual for a 20yr old receiver is plain stupid. I have one, it's for my computer, but I have no idea where the manual would have gone. |

15 seconds on my Blackberry I found this:

Think for yourself and look it up. |

At a yard sale? That's like the fight I had with Seagate over a hard drive warranty, I got the same bs answer, look it up before buying. |

Yes, at a yard sale. Took me seconds on my phone while sitting in my truck eating a sandwich. Too lazy to look it up? Go to the store and buy a new one then. |

Simple: Don't buy the seat. No one is forcing you to buy it. |

| reply to elwoodblues
Some .govs in the states were actually pondering buying cell phones and plans for their poorest residents, no idea if it ever came to fruition but maybe Industry Canada should expand its tentacles and try the same up here? Or not.
When in doubt, Caveat Emptor.
