Don't SAY it can't be done in the states. We never thought it would go THIS far!

I really hope that they find a way to keep the jail sentences to a minimum. In a few years, this whole problem is going to go away anyway.

[Temple Owl]

Ja! Sieg Heil!

ned, why do you say this?!

RE:"What we want is compliance. We don't want anybody to go to jail."
 
What these jack*asses want is irrelevant.
These are the type of people for whom "blanket parties" were invented.

[SheLion]

A "blanket party" is just what they need, that's for sure!

This stuff is getting out of hand, doncha thing?

Have these idiots ever thought of just hanging a sign on the front door, designating the bar as either smoking permitted or non smoking, and letting the consumer make his choice which he wishes to support.

RE:Health staff say the crackdown, to be considered by councillors today, addresses complaints that a few establishments are stealing business away from 99 per cent of the industry that complies with the ban
 
the plot thickens. Rather than take a side by side principled stand against absurd laws against a common enemy (Government), rat on the competition competition.
Gawd, sometimes I just flat hate people.

steve, that would be too EASY. They want total control! TOTAL CONTROL!

"I" hate the Health Minister AND the Boards of Health!

But if people don't smoke in Canada, how will we be able to pay for health care? That is why they raised prices of cigarettes $9.00 a carton in Ontario today (the nico-nazi's wanted $15.00 a carton more).

At this point, I think the everyone should comply with the no smoking law. Let's collapse the socialist health care system!

A buncha disgusting ninnynannies with nothing better to do. Maybe they should spend their time on playgrounds making sure children don't be mean to other.

"You don't go to jail for beating people up in the park any more, so I don't know why you should go to jail for not enforcing the smoking bylaw?"

That about sums it up. Jails are for business owners not thugs. Great use of taxpayer money and crowded jails.

[1Old Pro]

Extra enforcement would come by reassigning six of 26 public health inspectors away from duties like food inspection and infection control

And why not, the quality of our food and the control of contagious disease isn't nearly as important as shutting down a bar where people freely go to smoke.

Let's see. Your plan involves self-determination, personal responsibility, and property rights.

Nah, never happen. Where do you think we live, in some kind of free country?

RE:This stuff is getting out of hand, doncha thing?
Amen to that, sistah!
The Power Plant I work at instituted a site wide tobacco ban a while ago (which I ignore freely, with full knowledge of the consequences if I get nailed) not just on smoking, but all tobacco. It's the kind of crap you expect to run into in socialist Europe or Kalifornia.
I dealt with horsesh*t like that in high school, but I'm a big boy now.
The stories I could tell about this place.

Loren, your so smart! My thoughts exactly. However, I sure hate to see the restaurant and bar owners go under. What is it going to take to let business owners control their own environments?

The control that the Boards of Health over a business is mind-boggling. It certainly reeks of nazi-izm at it's finest.

[bloodmeridian]

Looks like bars will be closing up quickly in the Waterloo Region.

What with the world in turmoil today, this is all the anti-smoking nazi has to worry about??!!
