Below I have copied and pasted the alert from the DLCC's page. They are asking everyone who can to go to Queens Park on November 18th to show your support. I will be there. Will you?

Private Members Bill to Repeal the ONTARIO BAN
Cheri DiNovo (MPP for Parkdale) has joined a GROWING LIST of other politicians that support REPEALING DOLA.
Cheri is going to put forth a Private Member's Bill forward to repeal the Breed Specific part of the Dog Owner's Liability Act between 10am and 11:30 am in front of Queens Park on November 18th. As a responsible dog owner herself, Cheri understands that this law must be repealed so that more effective measures (which are not breed specific) can be put into place.
Advocates for responsible dog ownership are making their demands known. We will no longer allow laws that make dog owners criminals or at best second class citizens simply because of how their dog 'looks'.
COME TOGETHER. We need bodies at this event. Clayton Ruby along with many other advocates for responsible dog ownership will be there and so will the media. Let's show them that dog owners are barking mad about this travesty.
We are asking that ALL dog owners join together in solidarity and support Ms.Di Novo in her efforts.
WHEN AND WHERE?
Queens Park
at 9:30 am
November 18, 2009
If you cannot be there, please forward your support to repeal the ban to:

Thank you for helping us to get the word out in cyberspace.Please drop by and say hello to our Cathy Prothro of the DLCC !
I wish you all Luck,but I do have 1 reservation,MçGuinty and his Thugs,if they do agree to repeal this Evil Law,they will basically be admitting they screwed up and Murdered thousands of family pets for no reason.
Dade County has a similiar problem,a Mrs Canes who is presently suing the county commissioners went and canvassed each commissioner they all had similar responses "It would be political suicide"
Good Luck anyway.

DLCC ...
I try to get it out as much as I can.
Smarock10 ...
Great points. I agree - repealing it while he is still in office would be "political suicide". I will still support repealing bsl and will always put my 2 cents in.
To me, I don't care if it is a losing battle. Perhaps in the fight, people will become more educated about dogs, training, bsl and breed characteristics.
The potential to offer education to the general public makes it worthwhile for me.
