Stupid legislature tricks vol. 1

I think I'll start a new series on stupid laws that get proposed or passed. Let's start with a law that makes it a "human rights violation to charge women more than men for haircuts, toiletries" etc. A human rights violation? Maybe the whole free market system is a series of "human rights violations"! Don't those turkeys in Ontario have more pressing things to do than mess with the economy? If women want to pay more for stuff, that's their perogative. Plus, who's going to determine what a similar service is? The market sets prices, and the government should stay out of it.
