Tin Pot Award for this month goes to Neguac, NB

I cannot find the words to comment on this lack of thought from the town council of Neguac, New Brunswick. My only comment would have to be; way to hurl Neguac! I hope your pop drops from 1623 to ZERO. In an article from the Times and Transcript, the witch hunt is described in detail. [...]

WHAT IS AN ONTARIO 'PIT BULL'?

In Ontario these days, it's hard to say.  It seems as though any short-haired dog can be turned into a 'pit bull' with no effort at all. Of course that's what happens when a law is 100% rigged against a citizen in favour of the government – fairness flies out the window.  Every dog is [...]

Michael Bryant victim? Navigator Ltd. runs the spin cycle on high

Even if I were hypnotized I wouldn't believe Bryant isn't a ******bag! Anyone want to chip in a few bucks to hire a PR firm to put out the real truth? I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to round up a few (hundred thousand) p****d off citizens of Ontario that have found themselves on the [...]

It is absolutely beyond me why people entertain the thoughts that banning breeds or fictitious breeds of dogs? If they have their thinking caps on at all or have learned the art of “google” they will find plenty of evidence that cities, states, counties and countries are repealing bans and substituting with common sense.
