THE ORDER IS - FEDERAL LAW , PROVINCIAL LAW, THEN MUNICIPAL BYLAW.

ONE WOULD THINK THAT THE HEALTH UNIT HAS COMMUNIST CHARACTERISTICS - A DICTATORSHIP WITHIN ITSELF. WHEN DID GOD DIE TO ALLOW THIS UNIT TO PROHIBIT PEOPLES' CHOICE? THE CHARTER OF RIGHTS APPLIES TO EVERYONE.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO PROHIBIT SOMETHING, GET A LAWYER. IF YOU DO NOT WANT PEOPLE TO SMOKE, BAN THE GROWING OF TOBACCO - THAT WILL OPEN UP ANOTHER CAN OF WORMS AS THE GOVERNMENT WOULD LOSE ALL THAT TAX. YOU HEALTH PEOPLE HAVE GOT TO GET YOUR HEADS ON STRAIGHT INSTEAD OF THIS POWER HUNGARY ATTITUDE.

LET IT BE KNOWN THAT AT SOMETIME, YOU ARE GOING TO COURT AND THE TAX PAYERS ARE GOING TO PAY FOR YOUR OVER-BEARING POWER HUNGER.
