Thank you for your continued support in our effort to repeal the pit bull ban here in Ontario.
On Thursday February 23rd, I will bring forward Bill 16 for second reading before the Ontario Legislature. This will bring us one step closer to our goal of overturning breed specific legislation in the province.
Unfortunately, Bill 16 can’t rest on its laurels yet. We need your support. If Bill 16 doesn’t pass second reading or if the government doesn’t call it for third reading, BSL will continue in Ontario.
Here’s what you can do to help push Bill 16.
On Thursday, over 550 people have already planned to come to our rally outside Queen’s Park. Those are just the confirmed attendees ten days away. I know my two pit bulls Robby and Titan, and myself alike would greatly appreciate it if you could come out on Thursday February 23rd to rally for the passing of Bill 16 through second reading.

If you haven’t already, please go to my website – www.randyhilliermpp.com – and sign the petition online. If you have already done so, please encourage your friends and family to sign as well or print off a copy from my site and get signatures the old fashioned way – you can mail the petitions to my office!
It is incredibly important that we continue to put pressure on every Member of Provincial Parliament and especially Premier Dalton McGuinty. Please take time and send your MPP and the Premier an e-mail letting them know how strongly you feel about ending Breed Specific Legislation in Ontario. If you want to send a very clear message, call your local MPP or go in to their constituency office and tell them in person.
With your support we can make this happen. http://bringbackthebulls.com/
Thanks again,
Randy Hillier, MPP

I have some serious reservations about this guy - and his sincereity in bringing this up. The reality is, he created lots of noise several months ago about this- rode the tailwind from all the discussion engendered by creating a brouhaha about bullying and has been completely SILENT on the above Bill until NOW - despite several attempts by a number of people to find out what was going on with it. The cynical me is pretty convinced he's just looking for something that brings attention and makes a lot of noise; he has also done things wrong in a lot of ways - and has asked for "donations" which left a bad taste in my mouth. Of course I am a 100% in support of the bill - just hope what I am feeling is a sleezy politician doesn't screw it up.
ReplyDeleteSelkie, I understand completely what you mean but I hear Randy's got his own Pit Bulls doesn't he? So, at worst he's looking out for his own interests which is fine by me as long as it helps other dogs as well. I don't know what his overall priorities or politics are but for this specific issue, I'd rather have him in our corner than not.
ReplyDeleteTruth, Fred, better in our corner than not!
