i could accept the premise of a maximum summer temperature in principle, but not as low as 27. on a day where it's 27 and cloudy, i would often need to put on pants, or a long-sleeved shirt. 27 is moderate to cool, it's not warm. 

further, such legislation is inherently misogynist, as it directs temperature regulations towards cooler temperatures preferred by men, and even by heavyset or obese men.

in order for a maximum temperature enshrined in legislation and enforced by law to be inclusive of women and healthy people, it should be something closer to 40 degrees. a legislated maximum temperature should be 35 degrees celsius, minimum.

i hate air conditioning and will not have it imposed on me.

they'd better make sure a window a/c put in my unit is installed extra securely, because they might find that it has a tendency to just fall out of the window and on to the ground outside over and over again, repeatedly smashing into pieces.

i would violently oppose a bill forcing me to endure temperatures less than 27 degrees celsius in july and august, when i like the temperature to be 30 degrees, minimum, at all times.

i'd end up turning the stove on all summer.

i like my scorching hot apartment and am annoyed by my neghbour's air conditioner, which i absolutely hate.

i have a fan blowing hot air into the apartment to counteract the a/c downstairs and stop it from making me cold in the summer.

why doesn't the government focus the money on addressing obesity and reducing smoking, instead?

i don't have any particular attachment to the digital services tax, but i do support the broader premise of taxing income/profits as preferable to taxing consumption, and i'm extremely put off by canada's decision to cave to that kind of tactic. you don't negotiate with a carnivorous animal, and it's stupid and naive to think you can. carney has continuously broadcast the flawed premise that the americans are a rational actor. they aren't.

all we've done is tell trump that he can push us around and get what he wants. he'll do it again, because it worked.

we should have, instead, told them that we will not return to negotiations until they lift duties on softwood lumber.
