What will they ban next?

Ban junkfood in schools? Hell why not just ban junkfood?

A) this is why i'll never vote NDP because they are just a worse version of the Liberals.

B) I guess salt will be next on the ban brigade's hit list?

SOMEBODY BAN THE BANNERS BECAUSE THIS IS GETTING RETARDED

NDP urges ban on trans fats

New Democratic Party leader Jack Layton, recently. (CP Archive/Tom Hanson)
OTTAWA (CP) - NDP Leader Jack Layton wants Canada to become the second country in the world to ban processed trans fats.

He says his New Democrats will introduce a motion in the House of Commons on Nov. 18 to outlaw the unhealthy fats found in everything from fast food to peanut butter. Canadians eat an average of 10 grams of trans fats a day - one of the highest rates in the world.

A gram of trans fat is up to 10 times more dangerous to heart health than a gram of saturated fat.

The World Health Organization recommends countries eliminate processed trans fats, as Denmark did last year.

"Families want protection from dangerous trans fats and the NDP is calling on all parties to provide it," Layton told a news conference Friday.

"Let's show Ottawa can listen to people and respond to their concerns - and improve public health in the process."

Layton said that because trans fats are most prevalent in highly processed foods, low-income and older Canadians are particularly at risk.

The NDP motion would require the government to base its legislation on the findings of the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Winnipeg MP Pat Martin has been spearheading the parliamentary fight against trans fats. Before the last election, he introduced a private member's bill modelled on the Danish law, which would effectively ban all processed trans fats.

Some transfats naturally occur in trace amounts in some dairy products and meat.

a) I know that its the NDP. As I said above they are a worse version of the Lieberals.

b) And they said smoking bans and seatbelt laws would never happen either. I remember when they first talked about a complete ban in malls and mall owners were saying that it would never pass.

c) ban me? how cute

I read an article a while back on this bill that just passed its second reading. The bill would introduce MANDATORY helmet use for all people of ALL ages who blade and ride a bike on roads in Ontario.

That sucks ass, I love blading and do it all the time in the summer. Having to wear a stuffy sweaty uncomfortable helmet while blading would just ruin all enjoyment for me.
