That is a very stupid regulation. I will be drilling a hole and buying a rubber stopper if I ever need a new can. However, perhaps it's not best to judge your government on their regulation of gas cans. They also require that the gas you put in it doesn't contain lead.
I would totally judge a person on how they treat their dog, why not a nanny state on how they regulate freaking gas cans? Lead in paint and gas was a very well understood problem - and one that took literally decades to fix. I suspect that "gas spills" from vented gas cans was never more than a nit in a b-cats eye. -XC
