Sanity in Ontario

As those who know me can attest, I’m no greenie. However, I have never understood the stupidity of the clothesline bans some municipalities and communities enacted. Some people find them “unsightly”. Really? Why? It’s just fabric blowing in the breeze.

Rumour has it that Primer McGuinty will announce that Ontarians can dry their clothes outside. Finally. A bit of sanity. And why did it take this long? You’d think one of the first things the green types would have demanded would have been the elimination on the ban on drying clothes outside. It’s an easy way to save money for families and environmentally friendly to boot, especially in the summer when it’s hot outside and the electricity would be better spent cooling us down as opposed to heating up our clothes — something the sun can do for free.

So a hearty thanks to the Premier for doing something sane and long overdue.
