Proposed Law Goes Too Far
[ As published in the Brantford Expositor Editorials - June 24, 2008 ]
So now the government wants to legislate personal hygiene and create scent-free environments, eh? Perfect. Now the guy in the cubicle beside you will smell like body odour instead of fresh and clean. Does this have anything to do with boys using popular body sprays as a replacement for a good shower? Or do we just not know how to take care of our bodies?
Yeah , yeah, I know about the lady who uses a bit too much perfume. Or the gentlemen that can't smell his own cologne while everyone else is choking from the intense overdose of his fragrance. Perhaps someone should speak to those people. Teach them how to be moderate with their daily scenting. But banning scented hygiene products in public environments? That is going a bit too far.
I understand that people with allergies probably want this ban, but maybe they should get their allergies fixed instead. A good naturopathic doctor could take care of that you know. Besides, there are alternative non-toxic scents available to consumers that help people smell good and don't cause allergic reactions. Has the government even considered the fact that their new bill would inevitably throw out the baby with the bath water?
Ridiculous. Perhaps we should educate people instead. Teach them about personal hygiene, toxic products and non-toxic solutions. Not only would Brantford smell better but we would also have a much healthier community.
