Probably it?s a single mistake from a junior employee,? he told the Star on Monday.

Sure, it's always just a 'mistake'.
Funny it's always a mistake made only by a certain group.

?It doesn?t happen every day, but when it does I think, ?What year is this??

Why, it's 2015, sweetheart.
Wonder if she had these problems 30 years ago.

Leslie said these days she only reports the discrimination she experiences about 30 per cent of the time.

And with a city determined not to offend all the diversity, she will continue to have troubles.

Sure sure, only a certain group has ever refused a guide dog before. And the fact they've invited her back counts for nothing of course.

I thought those Dogs Who Rule usually wore a vest saying something like FUIR!

She should have known better.....

"No, this restaurantï¿½s halal, youï¿½re not allowed in here with any dogs,ï¿½ï¿½

Everyone knows dogs are dirty, filthy creatures and should never, ever, be allowed near halal food!!

The guide dog didn't understand French commands. It is an embarrassment to everything Canada stands for.

I can assure you I'd rather eat with a dog than with the diners that inhabit places like that.

Needs to get rid of the dog for a pot-bellied service pig and try there again.

Montreal councilor now wants dog parks to be language-free, dog owners must only use "tones and hand signals"

Earlier this week we ran an interview with Montreal city councilor, Benoit LaDouce about his proposed bylaw that would require dogs in Montreal dog-parks to understand commands in both English and French. After a public outcry on the internet Mr. LaDouce has decided to amend his bylaw in response to public opinion. According to Mr. LaDouce, "Thanks to the internet I have learned that dogs don't respond to any language, rather tones and hand signals. My new bylaw will reflect that."

Just when you think Quebec politicians couldn't get any stupider, the good DrC posts a story proving us wrong.

No worries. You shouldn't, they have some excellent stuff! Most of it has little to do with politics, it's just entertainment. Much better than listening to some top 40 station play the same lame crap over and over on a 4 hour rotation.

I just remember that article because some right wing news organizations took that article as fact and it caused a big stink. Until they realized it was satire.
