So you disagree with the proposal (as do I), and McGuinty said no to it as well, but you're still finding a reason to bitch about it?

I think it's safe to say that something proposed by ONE city's dept. of health (barely passing the motion at that) is not going to trigger any action on the part of the provincial gov't.

On another note, i think the city of toronto is running out of things to ban.

quote:

TDSB considers ban on homework during holidays Tuesday, April 01, 2008 - 07:53 AM By: 680News staff Toronto - The Toronto District School Board is considering a ban on homework during March Break, Christmas and other significant holidays. After weeks of consultation with parents, teachers, principals and community members, a series of recommendations was proposed, including no homework other than reading with parents for kindergarten students. Students in grades 7 and 8 should be limited to an hour of homework daily and that homework should only cover material already covered in class. The policy, which still needs to be tweaked, would be expected to be voted on by mid-April, with a plan to implement it by the fall.

WHAT!

What needs to be done is to lower the age to 16, and increase education efforts to teach about the negative effects of alcohol.

Oh, and enforce the laws with stiff penalties on drunk driving and such.

When you ban something, people will go around and do it regardless.

This has been brought up and swatted back down atleast 3 times in my lifetime and many, many, many times before.

Good Press for health and youth conscious voters, but in the end cutting out 19 and 20 year olds would effect our revenue and local establishments who serve alcohol significantly.

If this idea has any seriousness, it certainly won't happen without a huge battle ensuing, which would likely take years anyways.

its health depts that usually first reccommend most bans in this province. So i am very worried that this is even being discussed.

yeah...but this isn't even a provincial office. It's London, ON. Who cares. *they* can't even agree as it passed 4-3, lol.

I'll become concerned when several major units band together and decisively call for something to be done.

once again...businesses should be banding together and saying "fuck that" very loudly to their MPPs.

with the # of places that would be impacted, collectively that's a pretty damn loud voice. How many licensed establishments are their in this province? And if even a fraction of them said "we will vote for your opposition if you support this recommendation"...it DIES right there.
