The canucks have lost their minds, eh.

A 48-year-old truck driver from London, Ont., has been fined for smoking at work - the cab of his rig.

Ontario Provincial Police pulled over a truck on Highway 401 near Windsor on Wednesday when the driver was seen smoking. Police handed out a $305 ticket because smoking is prohibited at all workplaces in the province under the Smoke-Free Ontario Act.

"In the act it actually specifies what a workplace is," said Const. Shawna Coulter of the provincial police's Essex detachment. It says the inside of any place, building, structure or vehicle that is part of the employee's workplace, which if you're driving a truck for long periods of time - that becomes your workplace."

Transportation Minister Jim Bradley said he hasn't heard of such a case before. While he couldn't comment directly on an individual case, he said he would be watching closely if the man decides to fight the ticket in court.

"It would be interesting to see how this develops," said Bradley.

"That's interesting..."

No it's not; it's fucking retarded. As are you, apparently.
