Mississauga Musings

We’ll I know thru my own former secret society meetings, the terms “euthanasia” are used in New Zealand to take the costs of seniors off the public health care system because the similar Workfare scenario in [Ed: Now, now Wayne. You know I can't "publish" that, darlin'.} propped up in facades of success”.

We’re not going to afford to look after our seniors unless McGuinty or somebody comes up with a restitution plan to repay the criminal default proceeeds instead of [Ed: WOW ARE YOU CRABBY today, Wayne. I agree with you but can't "publish" that either] into Red Herring Bill’s 132.

So far Gabriela and 8 year old Jasmine are being denied their “moral” and “legal obligations” by their Mississauga MPP’s to represent our “Petitioning the Assembly” that’s estranged Dalton McGuinty away from the same Derrick Owens revolver that killed 8 year old Kayla Rolland.

I was thinking the same thing as your mother.

Perhaps 10-11pm might have been a better choice if people think this one day of show matters. Perhaps 365 days of common sense might have more impact.

John`s blog entry.

I`ve left a few comments there. I guess they`ll show up on Monday. There are so much more that could be left. I should probably leave this one there but since you asked a question.

As far as what I`d like to know.

I`d like to know how many so called "Pit Bulls" have been slaughtered in Ontario since this crap (and there`s no other word for it) began.

I`m almost speechless at this point.

I wonder if Carolyn thinks Mac`s Gang should still lighten up. If I was the Mississauga Mayor or on Council, I`d be having a lot of sleepless nights wondering about the fallout if Rambo loses in court and the option to relocate out of Ontario is not put on the table by the Judge (as it should be).

I`d be working on that Carolyn.

I`m used to all the dogs (2000+) that have been slaughtered and Rambo will just become another sad statistic but I`m not sure others will see it that way. I hope that common sense prevails if there is a death sentence with no out.

Please do your best to make sure the "move out of Province" option is on the table if she loses.

Rambo couldn`t have possibly been "illegal" at the time he was picked up.He can only be "illegal" if and when the Judge finds that he is "SS"

As far as the "well meaning" staff,Dulio the Manager and the full time cleaner having no doubt that Rambo is a "Pit Bull"??

Wake the hell-o up!
Read some Ontario Blogs.
He can`t be what doesn`t exist!
And as far as the voting system goes.
Is it a "whipped" vote?
That`s how Bill 132 passed.
If it is,who`s holding the whip?
If it`s a free vote,what the hell-o are you people thinking?
Vote NO!

Go home and squash some lady bugs if you need to feel all powerful. [Ed: Mac's Gang, I don't think you mean that. A ladybug's life is just one life just like Rambo's life is one life.]

If the OVMA can`t discern the breeds that make up a mixed breed dog,I`m sure you "well meaning" folks can`t either!

First, difficulties associated with breed identification will make a breed-based ban very difficult, if not impossible, to enforce. There are many breeds and crossbreeds that resemble the potential banned breeds, and municipal law enforcement officers do not generally have sufficient training to determine if a dog is in fact a banned breed. Even if they have that training, they will lack the scientific means for determining a dog's breed that can withstand the rigours of a legal challenge. I think Mr. Bryant has proved that conclusively.

Show me one single banned pure bred dog that has been picked up. If one has been found, I sure haven`t heard about it!

Carolyn Parrish made a great point on Rogers. Why go looking for trouble? When you pick up dogs that aren`t tattooed/microchipped/registered with a Club, they are MUTTS!

The Ontario bloggers are doing their best to bring Ontario to its financial knees over Bill 132. It may not be possible but the word is slowly but surely spreading around the world. The word is... Don`t travel to Ontario for pleasure or business and don`t support Ontario businesses.

Explain to the company, the town or city that it`s because of Bill 132 (The "Pit Bull" Ban) We want people to notify the tourism site for that particular city and send their letters to Peter Fonseca (Minister of Tourism)

and also cc their letter to Mr Paul Miller(Critic)

3 People from Kansas just refused (due to Bill 132) to attend a conference that they normally attend in Toronto each year. The Organizers are going to hold it in Montreal instead.

Small beginnings but it will spread. We`ll make sure of that. (sorry for the long post, feel free not to post it, it should be over on the other interesting Miss. blog)

And I would like to mention that the same people who care about animals are probably the same people who care about people unless you`re a PETAphile or some other whackjob from an extremist AR group. (Can`t take credit for PETAphile. Wish I could. The responsible party might not want their blog mentioned here in conjunction with this post)

And I can hardly wait for the explanation...

Umm... Message for Councillor Parrish. PSSSSssssttt. MISSISSAUGA IS A SECRET SOCIETY!

And some genius Mayor and Councillors would've had to APPROVE that Animal Services operating procedure,

I have committed that poem you mentioned to memory.
I`m trying really hard not to run out of Ontario.

THE END

[Ed: Mac's Gang, I don't think you mean that. A ladybug's life is just one life just like Rambo's life is one life.]

You haven`t been in my house in the country in May. THERE ARE MILLIONS
Just joking. PROBABLY JUST THOUSANDS

DON`T SQUASH THEM!

Pack `em up and send them to a Research Facility (save some furry animals) to help find a cure for Cancer and many other diseases.

Great post by a Cancer Researcher on the need for animal research (Yes it`s still needed)

http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2008/03/bad_scientific_arguments_in_the_service.php

Long read but well worth it.

As one poster pointed out to others after I posted about my dog having Cancer.
(BTW I do see the need for animal research at this point).

No matter how you spin it, hugs don't cure cancer.

Bohr said that the opposite of a profound truth is a profound truth.

1. I love my dog, and don't see any essential difference between her and lab animals.

2. I believe that scientific research is the best way forward, and is irreplaceable.

No way out of that one.

Animal Research benefits both humans AND our animals. There is no viable alternative at this point. So if they can use lady bugs as an alternative to dogs, I say pack up the lady bugs and send them.

Better them than dogs IMO.

Mind you I`d rather have thousands of ladybugs invading my house than dogs.

PETA and other extreme AR groups would consider them all equal to humans. I don`t. Animal Welfare v. Animal Rights. That`s one of the big differences.

BTW Ingrid Newkirk (Founder of PETA) has admitted taking pain medication (tested on animals)to ease the pain of a broken wrist. Another higher up takes Insulin (tested on animals)

If anyone thinks for a moment that this group is playing with a full deck, take a moment and read some of this.

PETA`s Legal Beagle is presently threatening some well known bloggers with Libel unless he sees some retractions.

I wish I was one of them. I`m hoping for a "cease and desist linking" letter.

Missed ya when you were off line but you sounded like an addict looking for your next fix when you posted on John`s blog.

I know how you feel. I`m going to start (try) only getting on line on Wednesdays. It`s Sunday,I know. I`m not doing well. I need help.

This must be the stupidest piece I've seen in a long time. Now, really! According to this "news" piece, front page in Oakville country, hiring LAS boils down to saying: "the investigator won't bite the hand that feeds it!"

System in place for closed door complaints
Metroland - Halton Division
Sun 30 Mar 2008
Page: 01
Section: Oakville Beaver
Byline: David Lea
Column: 6
Dateline: Article

In the future if anyone wants to question whether a closed municipal or board meeting held in Oakville was legitimate, they can contact Local Authority Services Ltd. (LAS).

The independent company, which already provides investigative services for closed meetings in the Region of Halton, Burlington and Milton, was selected to hold a similar role in Oakville, last week, during a meeting of the Town's Administrative Services Committee.

The appointment, which was approved by council on Tuesday, will mean that whenever a person feels the Town did not act lawfully by closing a meeting to the public, that person could call on LAS to begin an investigation.

A filing fee of $125 would need to be paid by the complainant to initiate the investigation, however, this fee would be refunded if the complaint turned out to be valid.

The need to hire LAS to carry out potential closed meeting investigations came as a result of provincial legislation passed on Jan. 1, requiring all municipalities to facilitate an investigator's introduction.

The new legislation is aimed at making the inner workings of municipalities and boards more transparent to the public and while Town Council has no problem with this there are concerns about the investigations and, in particular, with how easily they can be triggered.

Excluding expenses and the retainer fee, LAS would charge $1,250 per day to investigate a closed meeting complaint. The complainant would only have to pay $125 to bring forward.

Committee members see the potential for tremendous abuse and called upon staff to examine the possibility of establishing some kind of cost- recovery measures into the complaint process where if a person initiated an investigation through, what turned out to be, a frivolous complaint, that person would have to pay the cost of the investigation.

Staff noted that LAS will look into the feasibility of incorporating this cost-recovery process.

Despite the high cost of LAS providing investigative services into closed meetings, LAS is still seen as the preferable choice. While the Ontario Ombudsman's Office would investigate closed door meeting complaints for free, taking that route would mean council would lose the ability to determine the duties of the closed meeting investigator.

Using the Ontario Ombudsman's Office as an investigator would also mean that council would not be able to establish procedures for closed meeting investigations and investigations might not be as timely.
