So McSquinty is weaseling around to try to get the K-W seat back by giving Elizabeth Witmer a plum post. Wonder what it pays and what the perks are?
I demand a law requiring any MPP (or MP, for that) to personally
pay the cost of a by-election if they leave their seat before the end of
their term for reason other than death or dismemberment. Enough of the
taxpayers bearing the brunt of a politician skipping out on his or her
commitment to constituents. Why do they run for office if they have no intention of honouring their commitment?
Look at all the by-elections WE the taxpayers paid for
when the rats scuttled off McSquinty's sinking ship; Smitherman and
Bryant spring to mind, I'm certain others will be named.
Enough of picking my pocket while an MPP toddles
off to line theirs.

Don't believe everything you read in the papers....
...because if you didn't already know or as you may have learned over the past few years with the MSM hyperbole about the McGuinty Liberals' deadly "pit bull" ban, someone pronouncing from a mass media outlet usually has an ulterior motive.
If you want the truth about Toronto Humane Society, read the THS response to Peter Worthington`s inflammatory and inaccurate article in the Toronto Sun. Click on the thumbnail on the left for the THS response.
Organization for the Rescue of Animals certainly was not pleased to be misrepresented in Mr. Worthington`s article. Read the ORA response here, click on the thumbnail on the left for the ORA response.
Mr. Worthington takes every opportunity to take cheap shots at THS and TAS. Now, why is that, do you suppose? I would think that any journalist worth his or her salt would clearly and publicly disclose any previous THS board service and any acquaintance with one or more former THS board members at the beginning of every article mentioning THS so that people can judge the journalist's objectivity and any personal motivation.
THS has done a 180 in the very few last years, thanks to the untiring efforts of the new board who had many obstacles to overcome - not the least, the damage to the Society's reputation caused by the actions of the "old guard" board.
TAS has different stakeholders and while there`s more to be done, it's taking great strides forward in animal care - working with rescue; providing needed veterinary intervention. Read the Pound Dogs story about Cini for information.
Criticizing from an armchair is easy. Doing something meaningful to effect change is hard.
Best of all possible worlds - go for tours of THS and TAS and volunteer with either organization. Inform yourself. Education is proof against ignorance.

Bill 16 takes another step forward
Bill 16, the private member's bill to remove "breed" specific legislation from the Ontario Dog Owners' Liability Act (DOLA), took one more step towards being passed when it passed second reading on February 23rd.
Now the things that piss me off.
1. Not one single frigging so-called "journalist" has bothered to read DOLA.
Not one single lame-ass media person has focused on the fact that the McGuinty Lie-beral amendments to DOLA make law-abiding Ontario residents into second-class citizens, abrogating their Charter rights when they have done no wrong.
2. There were well over 300 people at the rally, not the 100 reported by the same lame-ass, brain-damaged media.
3. Three Liberal MPPs voted in favour of Bill 16, not the two reported by the same lame-ass, brain-damaged media that haven't in all these years bothered to read and understand DOLA.
Politicians. Journalists. Manure piles.
Manure piles are useful.
Most politicians and journalists are not.*
*I'm exempting those MPPs who voted in favour of Bill 16. Intelligence is always in fashion.

SUPPORT BILL 16, HERSHEY'S BILL
This dog was a "pit bull" under Ontario's unfounded, unjust, vague, shoddy and fiscally irresponsible legislation.
Fortunately, she died knowing only love, rather than months to years in a pound cage and murder at the hands of the Ontario Liberals.
SUPPORT BILL 16, HERSHEY'S BILL.
