We all just recently, enjoyed the long weekend. Many of us camp at provincial and national parks. Camping provides families and friends, a get away from the busy cities, or a weekend to relax.
If you are a Canadian Mutt like me, you’ll enjoy a relaxing beer or two over this weekend, but government will soon place a ban on this. Yes! Government is going to take away our choice to drink responsibly in government parks. Me a person who has a total of 15 drinks for entire year, and who might get drunk enough to make fool of herself- a total of three times a year. Now my choice to drink reasonable in public park , within my paid campsite with by-laws I signed to obey, will be taken away by LAW.
Government is mandating these laws, by-laws and legislation to protect the public from the few who don’t know how to do anything responsibly. Texting and driving, putting make-up on while driving, or drinking too much and becoming a problem to others.
But what really gets my undies in a bunch–the normal population, who doesn’t have a mental issue need this laws to govern everyday common sense, than why doesn’t government place the simplest legislation upon the mentally ill. Does anyone see the double standard in this?
A mentally ill person, who is non compliant, has a choice to take medicine even if not taking medicate makes them aggressive towards others, or has the choice to drink even when it affects medicines ability to work. I have actively asked government to impose legislation around these issues.
The answer I received,” We can’t take people’s rights away.”
What a crock of bull! Government takes rights to choice away everyday with laws, policies and legislation,but the government won’t protect the mentally ill from making choices that ultimately harm their mental health.
Isn’t protecting the mentally ill from self harm ,worth government legislation?
