I haven't been posting much lately, it has been busy at work. And its a good thing too, we are hiring people and growing fast, and I am pretty glad to be working there in these uncertain economic times. I am working hard, and am quite tired, I was actually on my way to bed, but stopped to catch a news story or two. That is when I read this.
Premier Dalton McGuinty said Tuesday the "modest restrictions" will include a zero blood-alcohol limit for all Ontario drivers aged 21 and under and escalating sanctions for young drivers who speed, starting with a 30-day licence suspension.
Suffice it to say, I am not interested in sleep anymore.
Modest restrictions? Modest restrictions?
They are treating grown adults, with full licenses differently from other grown adults with full licenses!
"We owe it to our kids to take the kinds of measures that ensure that they will grow up safe and sound and secure, and if that means a modest restriction on their freedoms until they reach the age of 22, then as a dad, I'm more than prepared to do that."
Modest restrictions? Oh my goodness. This is mind blowing.
I get that driving is a privilege and not a right, I do, but we cannot allow this bill to pass. To do so is to treat grown adults differently then older grown adults. Like it or not, the age of majority in Canada is 18. You are an adult at 18.
If this law was aimed at seniors, and curtailed their ability to have passengers, or to have drank and still be under the legal blood alcohol limit there would be an uproar.
But, because it is those darn teenagers, we turn a blind eye.
Of course, I know the real reason for this, and the rest of the stupid bans McGuinty has been proposing left,right and centre. McGuinty thinks we're stupid.
While some people applaud the above, and others bemoan the same, everyone forgets that Dalton McGuinty has taken this province, the greatest, richest province from have to have not, and back into deficit.
McGuinty has taken Ontario from have to HAVE NOT. And has re-introduced a deficit.
Of course, McGuinty was against all of these at one point of the other, but McGuinty is shifty, he will move wherever the wind blows.
You can't trust McGuinty, he has proven himself to lack morals, principles, and his word is worth nothing.
How could we have re-elected him?
Perhaps McGuinty is right, we are stupid.

Don't forget about the pesticide ban. Add that one to your list, even though there is no evidence that it is harmful if applied properly, and farmers will be using it anyway.
Joanne good point, I will.
Also, don't forget about the incandescant light bulb ban. Everybody, quick, throw out your current chandelier! There are NO CFLs with the small base that fit in there! That's good for the environment... 20 million chandeliers in a landfill, along with 20 million mercury and lead leaching CFLs.
Not to mention that the CFL are full of toxic mercury and are a know fire hazard.
