Isn't it grand to live in an age when a manufacturer can purchase laws mandating the use of his product?

Remember the regular toilet? Try to find one.I've got one. They'll have to pry it from my cold, dead, buttocks before I let it go.
I'm keeping my doorknobs, too.

You know that public servants have way too much free time on their hands when the best they can do is come up with a plan to ban doorknobs.

I used to think Canada was a cool country. Now I think they are a stupid country of people who vote the stupid socialists in.
O Canada, how stupid you've been voting.
Ha, they used to criticize US. Geez.

It's a scam as old as governments.

What kind of micro-managing tyranny is it that would outlaw doorknobs?

Yes, it’s really necessary to have the government and some government hack making all our decisions for us because God knows we’re too dumb. Actually perhaps they are right, after all we elected the morons.

Actually, I prefer the LEDs. But that's my choice. If I wanted to use a burning wombat for lighting... I would use a burning wombat.

When I built out last home in 2006, I went up to Windsor, ON and bought three Kohler Wellworths. I declared them at the border and everything. So, they are made in the US, shipped to Canada, anbd legally sold to an American in Canada. It would be illegal for me to buy the same toilet from the Kohler people in the U.S. What a world.

How on earth does one child-proof those things? They obviously want children to die. Wicked, very wicked.

Me too, FRiend. I left it intact after every renovation. The throne might be older than I am.
The seat is a bit small for some modern folks but I keep it around so kids can see what a real flush looked like.

Almost every uninvited bear home visit has been traced to these door levers.

Obviously, there are way too many of them.

A real flush should shake the house and drop the air pressure in the bathroom for a second.
