About That Canadian Doberman Who Won BIS At Westminster

Animal Rights Extremism Onta-i-owe 65 Comments

It’s unlikely to happen again.

Ontario appears set to push ahead with a ban on declawing cats and debarking and ear cropping dogs, a move animal welfare advocates say is years overdue and doesn’t go far enough.

The province is consulting on the possible ban on its regulatory registry through early February, after first pitching it as part of a sweeping omnibus bill of anti-crime measures last fall. The proposal would see the province’s animal welfare inspectors enforce a ban on medically unnecessary surgeries.

They never stop at ears- as those with short-faced and dwarf breeds are now learning. Enjoy your “weiner dog” while you still can. Goodbye, French Bulldog.

If Canadians want a domestic purebred dog community to provide quality puppies and the support structure that comes with it, they need to contact their lawmakers to ask they stop interfering in the interests of breed experts and the health care providers who serve them. We are better judges of what is and isn’t necessary to preserve and protect our breeds.

And in some cases, we’ve been doing it for thousands of years.

Again, they never stop at ears. They never stop at tails or cat declawing or eating beef, just as they never stop at “assault rifles”. They never stop until they reach their intended goal.

If you’re in Ontario, call your MPP.

Canadian Taxpayers Federation Onta-i-owe You Might Be A Liberal 11 Comments

‘Tis the season.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has topped the Canadian Taxpayer Federation’s annual Naughty List, which ranks the country’s worst “grifting politicians.”

Ford earned the top spot for ensuring Ontario’s political welfare remained permanent by reinstating taxpayer-funded pensions for provincial politicians. This year also saw Ontario politicians giving themselves a 35 per cent pay raise.

“Ford took a pay raise that would make even Ebenezer Scrooge blush: A $73,000 hike in one year. But Ford isn’t the only one with coal in his stocking,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director…

National Post;

The National Post has learned Ontario’s PC government will introduce new measures at Queen’s Park on Monday, meant to prevent a repeat of last month’s freedom convoy blockades.

If passed, law enforcement will be able to direct owners and operators to remove their vehicles from illegal blockades, be able remove items used to illegally block roads, and be given the power to suspend both drivers’ licences and vehicle registration of participants.

The Ford government will also announce $100 million in new spending, including public order training for law enforcement agencies and establishing a permanent Ontario Provincial Police emergency management team.

The money will also go towards provincial procurement of what the government described as “critical equipment” — which according to a government source includes the purchase an undetermined number of tow trucks.

We need a new country.

In Northern Ontario is located the Ring of Fire, a geological feature in the James Bay Lowlands that holds a massive chromite deposit and a nickel-copper deposit known as the Eagle’s Nest. Exploration in 2007 led to the discovery of these ore deposits and they have yet to be mined. The area is remote from existing infrastructure with the nearest “town” of Nakina more than 300 km to the south.

Local indigenous communities such as Webequie have very small populations. Webequie, for example, is home to less than 1,500 Ojibway.

To mine the ore from the Ring of Fire will require a railway, a roadway and electrification. Early estimates of the cost for such infrastructure were $2-$4 billion and were scoffed at as being too high. Now the cost estimates are starting to trickle in.

To build a hydro line into the Ring of Fire is estimated to cost about $1.7 billion.

The so-called “massive nickel deposit” that is the Eagle’s Nest is estimated at 20 Mt. This compares to Voiseys Bay at over 100 Mt, Thompson Manitoba at over 200 Mt and the mighty (now mostly mined-out) Sudbury Basin at over 1 Bt (B=billion).

The total cost to provide infrastructure to the Ring of Fire will exceed $4 billion – easily. The total value of the Eagle’s Nest has been estimated at $5-$7 billion in-situ (as if the ore was sitting on the ground processed and ready to ship to eager markets). The cost of mining is typically 50% of the value of the ore. This means the nickel deposit will be mined by an Australian company at a gross profit of $3.5 billion for infrastructure costs of $4 billion (and more).

It is very likely the project will go ahead. I just thought the fine taxpayers of Ontario would want to know that $4 billion of their tax revenue is being spent on a few thousand people in Northern Ontario and an Australian mining company without any discussion of who will pay to maintain the infrastructure after the mines have closed.
