      It attracts bears and this is dangerous to both bears and humans. Bears get killed just for foraging. It’s not even political so it’s weird how it even went there. You live in Canada. There are bears here.

        Thats good to know, there are region specific reasons which make sense. Where I used to live, they banned it in urban settings thanks to pressure from seed companies who were pissed people were using legacy seeds that could self propogate.

      Zoning laws. Some cities started to listen to advocates and allowed veg and chickens in yards for personal use

          We had no bears in southern Ontario, still cities had restrictions. Also jerk neighbours wanted to see grass not vegetables in their neighbouring yards

        No. Ffs. It’s bears. You live in Canada. This is a reality there are bears here. Not everything is frigging politics and capitalism.
