Well, not in the context of what you have suggested.Quote:

My club has the same problem. I think realtors don't disclose that the range is there and then you have annoyed homeowners who were expecting peace and quiet and instead got a Canada Day weekend with the Canadian trap championships running next door.
Whether or not they ought to have known before they moved in, they have democratic rights. It should not be criminal to protest or picket the entrance to the club. I see this bill as nothing more than the flipside of bills proposing to criminalize e-collar use, etc. It's not an appropriate use of the criminal law.
People have a charter right to peacefully protest anything they want. They just can't restrict or interfere with others rights while doing so. That's when The Criminal Code comes into play. In that aspect,a private members bill is redundant because the charges already exist.Quote:

There is not now and has never been a bill to criminalize the use of E-collars. It has ALWAYS BEEN Illegal to operate a transmitter on a frequency for which it is not licensed or certified for.Quote:

There is indeed a bill before Parliament right now to criminalize the use of e-collars. I started a thread on it back in the summer.
Look it up.
Let's hope they have the intelligence to differentiate between "shock" obedience collars and simple "beeper" and GPS locators.Quote:
