Update: It looks like this is US only…

It’s official.

It’s now ILLEGAL to talk on your cell phone in Ontario, text, or use an ipod while driving.

Ontario’s Bill 118, an amendment to the Highway Traffic Act is now in effect and bans drivers from using handheld devices with display screens while operating a vehicle on the road. Here is a summary of the new rules:
·Holding or using a wireless communication device (a cell phone) or a portable electronic entertainment device (iPod) while driving is prohibited.
·Commercial GPS units along with similar dashboard-mounted devices that provide gauges and displays relating to logistical or navigation uses are permitted.
·Using a cell phone or wireless communication device in hands-free mode, as long as you’re not holding it during use, is permitted.
·Using any device while pulled-over or parked in a way that you are not disrupting traffic, is permitted.
·The systems used by Ambulances, Fire Departments, and Law Enforcement are exempt.

The ban is in effect as of September 1, 2009 and will carry a fine of $500. Demerit points will not be included but depending upon the violation, police will have the option to also use existing careless driving laws for additional penalties.

I for one always talk on my phone (bad me) but not anymore! I’m sure not taking the risk of getting a $500 ticket. I did stop texting and driving a while ago though because that actually involves looking down at the screen instead of the road and I realized that’s just plain dangerous.

What are your thoughts?

Will you stop talking on your cell? Get a headset/ear piece? Just keep doing it anyway and hope you don’t get caught?

update: will be in effect THIS FALL, not September 1st

MAC just unveiled their “Style Black” collection, “From ’80s Sprouse-in-the-House kohl and fringe to London New Goth, going back to black changes the mood, deepens the drama. Eyeliner, beehives and beyond, this is a celebration of going madly, deliriously noir. Don’t wait ’til midnight.”

Use code “BLACK” to get free shipping on all Canadian online orders, from now until Sunday, Sept 27.

So last week with the ” Luck ‘o the irish”  my youngest child wanted to purchase some Lucky Charms! As a treat I agreed.

A day later I poured my child and I a bowl.  As I was picking out the marshmallows (because lets be serious I only eat the marshmallows.)  I realized how small they were! Sure it had been years since I had indulged in this sugary cereal but I don’t remember them being so micro mini. I checked out the box and sure enough they have downsized the marshmallow to get “more in each spoonfull.”  Bull I say there is less period.

I’ve since then I realized I wasn’t becoming a “Canadian giant” I was just being duped into not realizing packagaing and contents are getting smaller.

For example have you ever grabbed a box of crackers that claim ” 33% less fat” then you get home and realize the package you just bought is 33% lighter then the same brand with the fat?

Or somethings on sale really cheap but 200g smaller in size then the regular priced item of the same brand.  When you sit and figure it out by gram your saving  10 cents. Grrr….

YIKES!

Share your stories! What have you been duped on,  or noticed its not what it seems! Anything recently where the grocery item shrunk overnight?
