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?
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….
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!
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!
