In a National Post article, the headline is ‘CEOs fear reefer madness’, and the sub head is ‘Decriminalization viewed as peril to workplace’.
Gee: ya think?
While the left-wing-nuts in government pass the joint to their colleagues and are racing to pass a bill to make it easier for our kids to get high on drugs and encourage them to smoke pot willy-nilly; on the other hand politicians even from within the Conservative Party are going to press for a ban on the real evil in society today: “trans fats” in foods.
It’s OK to be high on drugs if or when you show up for work, but in liberal-land, you better look svelte if or when you show up.
Canada is a nanny-state, but the nanny is drunk.
I’m not entirely sure they in government—especially those on the left—don’t all pass joints around in parliament—before deciding what they’re going to do and say on a daily basis.
OTTAWA – Canada’s largest and most influential business group warns that a federal bill to decriminalize marijuana could harm the economy. It is calling for the legislation to be delayed until its impact on the workplace has been thoroughly studied.
The Canadian Council of Chief Executives, which represents 150 major multinational corporations, says pushing ahead with the legislation could increase injuries, absenteeism and poor job performance.
Executive vice-president David Stewart-Patterson said substance abuse in the workplace is costing the economy an estimated $18.4-billion a year, and that is likely to be exacerbated by the relaxation of cannabis laws.
‘‘We really don’t know what the effect is going to be on the workplace in terms of health and safety, in terms of productivity and absenteeism and employer-paid health costs,’’ said Mr. Stewart-Patterson.
‘‘Maybe it would be a good idea to do our homework and figure out what those costs might be so we can make an informed choice before going ahead with the bill.’‘
