The survey replies are starting to come in over at Wag the Dog! 

There's also a good story about a Labrador retriever identified as a 'pit bull' and slated for destruction.  You should read 'When is a Labrador Retriever a 'Pit Bull'?  Good wakeup call for the complacent among us.

I'm off to the campaign office, back later.  Two weeks from today we give the Fiberals the boot, if everybody's been paying attention.

Have a good one!  Catch you later.

In case you've forgotten (we haven't) skip over to Wag the Dog.  There's a handy chart posted there which will refresh your memory.  Just follow the first link where it says "Click here to view the voting records of all Ontario Members of Provincial Parliament ".  Very enlightening indeed.

Those who missed the vote are also shown, which is equally interesting.

You'll see that a lone PC member, Norm Sterling, voted in favour of the ban.  I emailed him directly after the vote to say that at least had the guts to vote for what he thought was right, even though it was wrong.

The Fiberals whipped their vote but the other parties held a free vote on the dog ownership ban.  Those Fibs sure like whipped votes, don't they?

I'll say one thing for the Fiberals - they're great for comic relief!

Although it isn't that funny if you live in Caledonia.

Oh, they'll tell you the dogs come from local home breeders and are raised with love and attention.

They'll tell you they are purebred dogs or worse, 'hybrid' or 'percentage' dogs which really means mongrels.

Let's face it, unless you're a fancier, it's pretty hard to be certain of a dog's breed when he or she is still a young puppy, as has been discovered by bungling officials in Ontario.

If you want to see how well loved and happy the parents of these puppies are, visit Hearts United for Animals.

...into the slush fund giveaway of your money by the Fibs.

Good job, boys and I have to say your timing is perfect!  The writ drops on Monday.  Should be fun to watch Bryant squirm over this one.

Read all about it!

Peterborough has an awful lot of irresponsible dog owners, if - and it's a big 'if' - media reports can be believed.

The latest involved a Labrador-type dog and a toddler.
