Not satisfied with challenging Americans to a duel on homosexuals, Canadians have moved into the regulation of scents. No public school is scent free. Mustard gas smells better than a room of third graders. Flies breed on fourth graders following recess. Prince Edward Island fishermen unions joined with the government to ban scents.
Fishermen have some nerve lobbying on smells.
The socialist nation to the north is a danger because it has become an idyllic symbol for the liberals here. As Canada goes, so goes the U.S. Law professor Catharine MacKinnon's radical writings on sexual harassment were first taken up by Canadian courts and then migrated south. Comparable worth wages, designed to evaporate free market pricing, made their way down to Seattle. Under a prescription price control system, Canadians have experienced rationed prescriptions, mandatory government approval for all prescriptions, and years' waits from the time a drug is available in the United States before their government formulary permits its use. For patients hoping for new cancer and AIDS drugs, the wait is a death sentence.
