New Fascism: Trucker Fined for Smoking in his Own Rig

Fascist Jackassery on the part of the Ontario Provincial Police. A trucker was fined 300 bucks for lighting up in his own big rig for violating clean air in the workplace.

From Reuters here:

A Canadian truck driver has been fined for smoking in his vehicle because it is considered his workplace, a police spokeswoman said on Friday.

A police officer saw the 48-year-old trucker driving on a highway in southwestern Ontario with a cigarette in his mouth on Wednesday, and gave him a C$305 ($290) ticket.

The Smoke-Free Ontario Act, adopted in 2006, prohibits smoking in an enclosed workplace or enclosed public area, and that extends to work vehicles.

Is this not a clear-cut case of police profiling?  Persecution of smokers is way out of hand.

  • It’s Canada… Not much good comes from “the land of damn near tundra”… Besides it’s nothing more than a bunch of wannabe frenchies. I say boycott the entire province…

    I hear there’s a hefty fine for going outside without wearing a government approved sweater in temperatures below 40 degrees F.

    I love how you republo-Nazis throw around labels like “fascist” and insist on judging people.

  • Tom, shouldn’t you be out taking the hobbits to Mordor or whatever it is you roleplaying weirdos do?

    And I guess arresting innocent people minding their own business is just peachy with you. I used fascism correctly in my assessment. You are the one misusing labels and judging people.

  • So Tom… If I were to bust into your house and fine you a couple of grand for being a rump ranger… you wouldn’t have a problem with that?

  • Kramer

    Right Tom, because people on the left have never judged anyone. Ever. I bet we could find some fun ‘non-judgments’ made by yourself and many more about President Bush.

    Tom…I love how you liberal-Nazis throw around labels like “republo-Nazis” and insist on judging people.
    Pot…kettle…black. Tom…you are a hypocrite to the pegs. Wotta twit….

  • Tom Vincent

    Well, I was just throwing “Basement Pat”‘s words back at him.

    But, no…Republo-Nazis *never* judge people…no, that *never* happens. Ha! How funny that you falsely call -me- the hypocrite, when it is *you* who are the hypocrites!

  • AlaskanInfidel

    Can you spell “irony”? Just how stupid are you? You prove my point so well for me with every post…useful idiot.
    I think yer Mommas callin’ you. Your Hot Pocket’s ready. Run upstairs now before it gets cold…
    Whats with all the *asterisks*? Do you know what they are for? Apparently not. More proof of your ignorance and childlike (read liberal) reasoning.
    If yer Momma catches you bothering grownups…yer gonna get in trouble!
