The BBQ was a great chance to meet the St Paul's candidate, Sue-Ann Levy, who will be running in Bryant's former riding. The Liberal's are not confident they will hang [...]
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 substantially [...]
Sarnia's horrifying update
City now holding three suspected pit bulls
The city has impounded yet another dog based on the belief it is a banned breed in Ontario and must be euthanized.
A complaint prompted Sarnia officials on Friday to pick up a
dog, which they were told fathered two puppies already being held at
the Sarnia and District Humane Society.
All three [...]

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 short [...]

If Michael Bryant was a pitbull…

If Michael Bryant
was a pitbull…
by Kelly on
September 2, 2009
It’s certainly very distressing to read about the news that former Ontario
Attorney General Michael Bryant has been
charged with criminal negligence causing death and dangerous operation of a
motor vehicle causing death.
It is a must read…h/t Kelly!
Inherently dangerous beast (Michael Bryant) charged in fatality

Supreme Court of Canada denies appeal to
Today the Supreme Court of Canada denied the leave for appeal.
It is a dark day for Canada.
This law strips the rights of law abiding citizens.
This law is based on pure and simple propaganda and lies.
This law allows legislators to flippantly strip anyone of their rights and base it on opinions from [...]
Oh LOOK another consitutional challenge against the Ontario Liberals
Well surprise, surprise…
Another constitutional challenge launched against the McGuinty Liberals.
There have actually been several cases launched (in addition to our own) against the McGuinty Liberals for discrimination. Now there is a research project for a high school or university project. How many constitutional challenges have been launched compared to other sitting governments? Off the top [...]

Nanny Fiberals hard at work!
The premier of this province, Dalton McGunity has a nickname that some of us (not so fondly) refer to him as. Nanny McFee! We in Ontario are sick to death of being nannied.
This week Michael Bryant, Minister of Economic “disaster” not Development, delivered a disturbing speech to the Canadian Club in Toronto which is [...]
Randy Hillier to repeal "pitbull" ban in Ontario
Randy Hillier is MPP in the riding of the riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington. Randy's common sense approach is refreshing. Randy would like to see restoration of freedom in Ontario and as he puts it “get this province back on track”.
I just spoke with Randy on the phone. I wanted to thank him for [...]
Seeking to overturn the ban at Supreme Court level in Ontario
The official press release hit the press yesterday. We have filed to the Supreme Court of Canada.
The public opinion was always in our favor but change has tipped even more in our favor since 2005. We see evidence of it at every event we attend (of which we have done or attended over 200 [...]
Dare We Hope?
Cautiously optimistic. That's how I feel today about how things are going. Why? In the past month a few things have happened that might lead one to believe that the “court of public opinion” may not be a lost cause. The recent support shown for our cause and some positive media coverage of the issue [...]
