On the fitness issue, the government says it's going to launch an initiative called Act Now to encourage British Columbians to exercise more, lose weight, quit smoking and have a healthy diet.
Er, if I register as a non-smoking vegetarian, may I be excused from the endless stream of advertising, spam, leaflets, and guilt-trips I can see coming? Does this mean they're going to TAX CHOCOLATE? Now that's going too far!
Seriously, since when was my weight the government's business!? This is paternalism in the extreme... and people complain about those lefty NDP types. Of course, there's no such thing as a real conservative in BC politics.
