Quanto's Law
About two weeks ago, a Canadian Law called Quanto's Law was mentioned.
While the law seems good as far as it goes, I have found no specifics in
terms of protection for other service animals though they are obscurely
mentioned, in anything I have been able to read so far.
I have received no response from either my local member of parliament or
the Prime Minister, Stephen Harper to whom I have attempted
correspondence referring them to our provincial Service animal
regulation. Basically, I would like the same fines and protections for
dog guides including unwanted interference by other animals and the
general public.
In Canada, we have unfortunate organizations which either claim to be
self-help groups or rehabilitation services. Seems to me that the
so-called self help groups are more "song and dance"efforts than any
real agents for social action and change.
Having no response from either source, I'll be researching Quanto's Law
on our government web site to see if I can get a clear handle on it's
status and components. I'll probably attempt another email to my MP
since he at least might have responded. Of course, he is a member of
one of the opposition parties and from my readings, seems even below the
impotent level.
Just in case there are any Canadians on this list who actually believe
in positive action, the email addresses, which are public are below:

Just trying to bark up the right tree!
