Dogs, politics, media, and more


And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes the master in its embrace, and his body is laid away in the cold ground,
no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws,
his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to death. -- George Graham Vest

Bill 16 passes second reading

I’m thrilled to report that today, February 23, Bill 16 passed its second reading in the Ontario Legislature with a vote of 51 for, 26 against. I’ve included a list of who voted for and against. In the next couple of days, I’ll have a more detailed list letting you know which were Conservatives, Liberals, or NDP.

The bill has now been forwarded to a committee.  I don’t yet know which one, but I’ll find out shortly.

This is great news and I’m looking forward to the next steps on the way to permanently eliminating the provincial breed-specific legislation.
