Actually this is a good case of a silly law (i.e. it requires property owners to
destroy milkweed because it is technically a "noxious" weed) 
that is NOT enforced according to monarch expert Don Davis of Toronto, 
Ontario.  Indeed Canadians in Ontario are proud of some
milkweed green belts that have been preserved in residential areas
in the interest of maintaining breeding habitat for monarchs.

Don Davis is subscribed to this list and can probably comment
is greater detail.
