"What experience and history teach is this: People and governments have never learned anything from history."
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, German philosopher (1770-1831).
Petition:
Visit our industry's website and feel free to sign the petition. You may not be from Manitoba but tourism does count and so do your comments.
Cigars And Censors:
There's a common sentiment among lots of folks that, of course, censorship is bad — unless it involves something really important. Such thoughts have clearly occurred to the powers-that-be in New Zealand, as they try to ban Web sites and magazines that deal with tobacco products.

From The Mailbag:
Well, yes, smog may have a more damaging effect on my health, but smog bashing isn't half as much fun as smoker bashing.

Rick Kropp, big-time California anti, just had major cardiac surgery. Since he doesn't smoke and no doubt is a health fanatic, why is he so unhealthy at 51?
Stop trying to dictate "healthful" behavior to adults. It's not the government's job.

It is interesting to note that Greece, a country that has one of the world's highest smoking rates and most lenient smoking laws, is ranked seventh in the world in life expectancy, while Canada, which ostracizes its smoking population with Draconian anti-smoking laws, has an average life expectancy ranked 12th. I wonder if the anti-smoking lobby is making note of these statistics.

If you are thinking of visiting New Zealand for a holiday but you smoke, don't bother. You will not be welcome.
