I bet you would hear him ratting on unlicensed BBQ fundraisers in city parks for kids soccer though. Must be a class thing.

What a little prick, that Ford is. Why doesn't he keep his nose out of wards that aren't his. People who live in houses have garage sales all the time, so why can't the people in St. Jamestown do the same thing in their own neighbourhood? Would he rather see this junk go into a landfill site? I think it makes the neighbourhood more colourful, friendly and interesting. (safer too, putting more eyes on the street) I quite enjoy it, which is more than I can say for Rob (shit-disturber) Ford!
Maybe if elected representatives actually lived up to their job titles and represent the public interests for a change, people like Rob Ford wouldn't need to intervene on our behalf.
Fresh Start:
Which public is he representing - the ones making the complaints, or the ones who are using that space for what appears to be an obviously innocuous purpose? Just saying.

There are quite a number of stores in Toronto that sell used stuff. You know, as well as I that they pay a hefty taxes (property, sales, etc.), to do so. Rightfully they should object to others whom can sell to the public without such a burden.
I guess garage sales should be shut down then too, not to mention lemonade stands (unless those kids want to start paying their darn taxes!).
Do you think the "Marketplace" forum here at UrbanTornto should be shut down as well?

there is a major difference between selling ones possessions and selling items as a business. The "marketplace" here is the former other is the latter. Do you think that ut would allow bestbuy to use the market place repeatedly for free?

If you neighbour was having a weekly/daily sale, then yes. It should be shut down.
