The talk about "arm's length" has me thinking about the power that the AG can hold over judges.

It was Bryant that caused the investigation of Justice Paul Cosgrove, for "vilifying the state."

Regardless of wether that investigation was justified or not - all it took was one letter from Bryant. I think it's an automatic hearing, if an AG complains about a judge.

If an AG were to get vindictive, they could do some serious damage to a judge's career.

Actually I have always voted Liberal...Bryant has finally broken that run.

I have never been on welfare, been a teacher, suffered a disability (although I have had back surgery), I returned to and paid my own way through school and I don’t have kids so nothing ever really affected me before. Sad to say but it’s the truth.

Three years ago I adopted a dog, then another a year ago. One is a Rhodesian mix (an often confused for pit breed). That got me thinking. I went down a long dark road of dog abuse, dog fighting, bite statistics, dog related deaths and of course the Courtney Trempe case.

If I can see the reality that this was just a political ploy and does nothing to address dog safety I can’t understand why every stinking Liberal voted for Bill 132 and why no one else is outraged. I guess for the same reason I wasn’t outraged at every thing the Tories did –apathy.

I live in a small city that doesn’t have a pit problem but am convinced that the dog is never really the problem and banning one breed won’t do anything except destroy thousands of innocent dogs and force otherwise happy and friendly dogs (and their) owners to inhumane conditions – life at the end of a leash muzzled. Where I live (and walk my dogs) the labs are the biters (although those are dog on dog attacks not dog on human attacks).

So no I do not teeter back and forth. I ignorantly voted Liberal for all those years. This issue made me looks closer. I now have a lot of respect for a lot of NDP and yes a lot of Tories. That respect is a limited resource and there is only so much to go around so if you are wondering where that respect came from..it came from the Liberals. They threw it away.
