Topaz Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 A member of the Ontario PC has brought forward a private members bill to ban smoking to anyone under the age of 19. Why didn't the Tories go further and ban All smokers? Well, it might be that there are MORE voters over 19 than 18-19 who probably don't vote. I see the dangers in smoking but its gotta to be fair and balanced. http://toronto.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20101006/youth-smoke-101006/20101006/?hub=TorontoNewHome Quote

This law is fundamentally unenforceable in any meaningful way. Unenforceable laws are simply wastes of time, in this case Ontario taxpayers' time, and I think the Liberal government in Ontario is doing enough of that already. Quote
guyser Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 Then the PC's want to make the Natives rich. Quote
Topaz Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Posted October 7, 2010 This may just give enough reasons to ALL 18 and 19 years old, to vote...against the Tories. Quote

I thought people below 19 already weren't allowed to smoke? Quote
guyser Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 Hmm what am I missing? I thought people below 19 already weren't allowed to smoke? Sure they are, they just cant buy it. Anyone selling to an under 19 is illegal and so is giving it to them. But possession and smoking is not against the law. Quote

Yes, in these trying economic times, Conservatives and Liberals join forces in getting their priorities straight. Quote
Michael Hardner Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 More laws, more policing... not usually what Conservatives are known for... but maybe the PC crowd is... Quote Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase ! Michael Hardner
