On the 'Lighter' Side of the News...

I'm sure you've heard the Canadian Supreme Court has upheld the 'one-person-one-fare' ruling for its airlines, meaning that obese people have the right to commandeer as many seats as their grossly distended gut will occupy. While it's great fun imagining this sort of vast amoeba-like diffusion, and it's even more fun looking up pictures of the morbidly yet gleefully obese people on google, this law is pretty stupid, in essence.

Next time you're on any sort of Canadian bus, claim that your hand is an integral part of your body that nonetheless requires the seat adjacent to you. They won't be able to touch you. 

Your brave Politic Blunder correspondent will be testing this out in his upcoming visit to Canada by demanding that every seat on the plane be reserved for him and his gargantuan ego.
