STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP

Recently we witnessed in our parliment one of the pages standing with a sign on which was the word STOP. I admired her courage.

Other areas where I feel STOP might be in order.

1.Obesity of our youth- STOP- using school buses for our student transport. Have them either ride to school on bicycles or walk especially even where the distance is over 1 mile as that would fullfil in most cases the 1 hour of exercise currently recommended for our youth.

2.FASD- fetal alcohol spectrum disorder . STOP any drinking (alcholic) by women who are pregnant. For our aboriginals also stop the sale and/or distribution of alcohol on reservations.

3. Smoking. STOP the growing of tobacco by farmers. Also the production , distibution and sales of tobacco products by law, i.e. pass necessary legislation

4.Regional health authorities. STOP any further expansion of our regional health authority branches. Indeed we should proceed to gradually reduce and eventually eliminate them and return to the conventual doctor patient relationship.

5. Abortion.. STOP all abortions except in the few very special cases. In some regions the number of abortions is approaching that of live births.

Ques.Does our governments have the intestinal fortitude (guts) to legislate such STOPS?

Note: I can think of other STOPS especially in the field of medical practice but legislation of these 5 would be a great start.
