When will Ontario ban smoking in apartments? Not until they ban it in public housing

January 23, 2011 by FauxCapitalist

No smoking

On January 19, 2011, the premier of Ontario, Dalton McGuinty, said he won’t ban smoking in apartment buildings.

While a case can be made for restricting that freedom based on the negative health effects involuntarily imposed on neighbouring residents, he said, “I think when you get into people’s homes, you’re crossing a line.”

Upon further reflection, I realized how it simply won’t happen until there is a ban on smoking in provincial public housing. It is a common ploy of any group seeking to restrict freedoms generally, to restrict the freedoms of a vulnerable minority in order to set a precedent for eventually restricting those same freedoms of a majority.

In the Region of Waterloo, a smoking ban has been in effect since April 1, 2010, for all new tenants of multi-unit public housing dwellings. The groundwork has therefore been laid for a smoking ban in all apartments when they have the power to do so and the political will to carry it out.

    You have to fully understand your expectations to begin with. What exactly are your current objectives? Next, think about what you are searching for in a roommate. Because you’ll be sharing living space with this individual, you should treat it as a major decision. Ask your friends, family members and co-workers whether they know of anyone searching for a roommate. In the event that doesn’t work, you can also find websites online that specialize in roommate matching. Whatever means you choose to utilize in your roommate search, it’s important to trust your own intuition. Should your gut tell you that something doesn’t feel right, proceed to the next prospect.
