Penn ticked on

You have by now read that Sean Penn basically shook Toronto from its foundations recently when he lit up a cigarette and unknowingly violated Ontario's new smoke-free legislation.

Ontario's Health Promotion Minister (is this a real position?) declared that Penn should be charged, and Toronto's medical officer sent Penn a written reprimand (which I assume Penn will treat appropriately by rolling some tobacco in it and smoking it).

The hotel Penn stayed at will have to pay a $600 fine as well.

Toronto has had 47 homicides so far this year. Maybe Ontario should start a Ministry of stopping people from killing other people and leave the shakedown of people who visit the city and bring millions of dollars of economic goodness and light during the Film Festival for another time.
