The law allows the employer and employees (or union if there is one) to agree in writing to up to 60 hours per week. The reality of the situation is that many people work up to about 70 hours a week without the government caring much (as long as there is no complaint lodged and then they will show up). Working 92 hours in a labour position is ludicrous and unsafe for everybody involved.
My standard work week is a minimum of 58 hours and can frequently hit 70 or more and I can't say shit about it.
Oh and as far as IT jobs go in Ontario you can throw all those rules I said before right out the window. Your employer owns your ass. Note the OT pay.

I suppose running all the jobs in the province doesn't qualify as a supervisor position then.
And yeah, I'd say you got riled up. You spent time digging up references in order to prove a point, which apparently didn't need to be proven, because "daydreams"
Edit: as far as safety goes, I suppose that one incident in 3.5 years is extremely unsafe, and beyond ludicrous. I'll make sure to tell my employer that we really need to cut down on the hours worked in the name of safety.
