View Article  AN "A TO Z" ELECTION TALE
Once upon a time, in a province called Ontario, a man named Dalton McGuinty wanted to become premier so badly that he made many promises. He said he would not raise taxes. He promised to close the dirty coal-burning plants. He would help autistic children, relieve gridlock problems and help immigrants have their qualifications recognized in Canada.
 
Here is the A to Z story of what happened when this man gained power.   more »
View Article  NOT ON THE VOTER'S LIST? NOT A PROBLEM

I was not on the Voter's List this time when I went to the Advance Poll last week, probably because our riding has been redrawn to match the Federal riding.  This is true of many ridings in Ontario for this election.

I was surprised, since I've voted in every election at all levels of government since reaching the age of majority, but despite not being on the list, it was really easy to vote.

I had to show ID with my name and address on it.  I used my Driver's Licence but you can also use a Health Card.  Passports are no good.  I think you can use another form of ID with a copy of a bill such as a power bill or telephone bill if you don't have a Driver's Licence or current Health Card.

The Returning Officer (RO) filled in a form which I signed.  Took about two minutes total.

Then, I presented the form to the RO who gives out the ballots and got my two ballots.

Then, I voted.

So please, get out and vote tomorrow, even if you're not on the list, even if you've never voted before.

Let's prove the media wrong.  They've been creating the impression that the election is a done deal and has been for weeks.

Get out and show Dalton and his gang that discriminating against innocent citizens doesn't cut the mustard in Ontario.

Polls are open tomorrow from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm.  You are allowed time off from work to vote.

Fingers crossed for a good outcome in favour of democracy and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

View Article  WHAT'S YOUR SIGN?

If you live in Ontario and haven't yet ordered an election sign, do it now!

Election signs are very important as they show where support lies and get candidates names out there so voters know who they are on Election Day.

It's easy, you can order through a website or by phone to the campaign office.  They will deliver and instal your sign and remove it as soon as possible after the election.  It's armchair activism at its best!

Joe Tascona in Barrie has asked that dog owners email him for signs directly.  This is the Blackberry address, so please just send your name, address with postal code and indicate that you'd like a sign.

View Article  MCGUINTY PURCHASES POSITIVE PRESS

The front pages of two national newspapers and two Toronto newspapers either slammed Dalton McGuinty's performance in Thursday's leaders debate or described him as being under attack for his track record as premier of Ontario.

One additional newspaper's front page was glowing in its praise of McGuinty and the Ontario Liberals, describing them as the "clear choice".

Why such a different attitude from this one publication?

View Article  Ontario MPP's Voting Record on Bill 132
How did your MPP vote on Bill 132? Did they stand up and be counted against it or did they fall in line with their 'fearless' leader to condemn thousands of dogs to death and violate the constitutional rights of hundreds of thousands of dog owners? Or did they go and hide instead of voting, perhaps because they knew the truth but didn't want to go nose-to-nose with the Premier and his cronies? You may want to drop in and ask them this question BEFORE you vote.   more »

View Article  Ontario Votes!

The next Ontario provincial election is on October 10, 2007.

It can't come soon enough for dog owners in the province, who have been counting the days until they can send the McGuinty Liberals packing.

The Liberals brought in their unfounded, ineffective dog breed ban - one which affects every dog owner regardless of their breed of choice - despite widespread opposition to the plan.

Dalton McGuinty doesn't think dog owners matter.  He is about to find out how wrong he can be.

The DLCC understands responsible dog owners because we are responsible dog owners ourselves.  We know that you have issues which are not covered in the mainstream media or brought up during debates at election time.

Over the next few weeks, we will be providing updates, interviews and other information of interest to people who want to vote for dog-friendly candidates in Ontario's upcoming election.

Don't sit this one out - get to the polls on October 10 and exercise your right to vote. 

It could be your dog's last chance.
