smokers have no rights as its a minority group and lmfao we do give minority
groups in this country rights, well except one.

Today I am not proud to be Canadian, I grew up when Canada stood for
Equality and Freedom. It was a place where people were treated equally
and respected others rights. Now it is quite different, back in the
70's when the non-smoking movement was starting I believed that
smokers including myself should respect the non-smokers and offer an
environment to which they could enjoy a night out without our "smoke
bothering them, I fought for equality for non-smokers and now our
smoking habits are being banned from all public places, what happened
to equality? we have passed law after law that have taken the rights
from the Citizens of this once great country, smoking being only one
of them. municipalities now have the power to discriminate even
further, how long will it be before we start banning coffee, bbq's the
consumption of alcohol because some group believes it is a health or
safety risk, these powers have the potential to legalize racism in the
future as we slowly erode the rights of law abiding citizens.
I really don't like the potential consequences of this "The judge
ruled that the city has the authority to define the classes of people
or businesses who will be the subject of discrimination." this is the
basis for segregation aswell as discrimination.

"This bylaw does discriminate but the discrimination is legal," the
judge wrote in a three-page decision.
"The judge ruled that the city has the authority to define the classes
of people or businesses who will be the subject of discrimination."
"The Municipal Act gives the city the authority to regulate or
prohibit tobacco use. A new section of the act specifies that while
city bylaws can deal differently with persons or businesses, they can
only do it if they're different classes of persons or businesses"
I believe in freedom I don't believe in discrimination or violation of
peoples rights, if you believe in freedom, if your a veteran or have
been discriminated against, don't vacation in Canada, don't support a
country that can take a persons rights away from them.. I fought for
peoples rights for 30 years now instead of getting better we have been
loosing and more discrimination is taking place.
