I just got stopped from buying gas when I tried to put it in a container to mow the lawn. The employee said it was illegal to do so.
Is it illegal in Ontario to put gas in containers overall or is it a specific container?

all im picturing is some hick at some richmond hill gas station trying to fill an empty paint can or something with gasoline
dont be so cheap and buy a legit can. it's not illegal either the gas station itself sells them.

You also have to have the proper jerry can container placed outside the vehicle when filling up.

Better to get the right container. Otherwise you might get gasoline fumes seeping out, which could spark a large explosion.

At some stations like Petro Canada I believe there is a sticker on the pump that shows which containers are certified for storing gas.

Common sense people. Of course you can't just pump gas into any old container.
Some people must have arrived from another planet or something.

It's dangerous to store gasoline in containers that are not made to hold them. It might explode and catch fire! :-0

Not only that, you'll have the gasoline breaking down the container and end up contaminating the gasoline, so now you have several gallons worth of gasoline. Good for killing weeds of making a nice bonfire, but bad for powering anything.
I have several gallons of gas in the garage that have been in their container for years. No longer really valuable as gasoline, but a good firestarter. Even in the CSA approved containers, gas doesn't last.

I think your chronology is off.
Most Asians like to improvise so that's why you see people using makeshift "things" and to the outside world it looks like they're an uneducated foreigner who just got off the boat, aka FOB.
Common sense comes in varying degrees.
