Because Its The Most Pressing Issue Facing Canadians Today...

The Conservatives have proposed new regulations that would set a minimum package size for cigarillos [miniature cigars] to make them less affordable for children.

Not that I even disagree with this kind of stuff, but its beyond even "small bore" in its scope. I hope they didn't fly anywhere to announce this, because that would be a waste of fuel.

Wells says Harper was in Welland, which I assume is someplace that's not Toronto.

Update: Apparently, this announcement also touched on banning hookah pipe tobacco. Stephen Harper...leading us into the 21st century!

  2. Why did this post get labelled "Gays against Stephen Harper?"

  3. Labels want to write themselves once you get started. Should say just "Stephen Harper". THanks.

  4. You should write a post featuring Big Daddy and a sweater vest and label it "Closeted Gays for Stephen Harper."

    I'm a gay against Harper, ti-guy. What does that have to do with smoking? Or you just can't get us out of your mind? You obviously can't seeing that you keep bringing it up.

    Trust me, if the sweater vest was to have the label "Closeted Gays for Stephan Harper" then our environment minister should be taking an extra large.

    Now there's a story that never seems to be mentioned for some reason.

    I was just laughing at BCL's mislabelling of his post (read further up).

    *shh* Even his parents don't know.

  9. Jermo,

    Yeah I know. I think he's miffed at me. Its not the content of the announcement itself I take issue with. But I don't think this issue should be the stuff of which elections are made. WK thinks its a bright move politically...he may be right.

  10. Dion should come out against nun-beating. That would be brilliant too.
