The most restrictive pet-ownership legislation on Earth
- Thread starter jjohnwm

Corydoras spines do carry some minute amount of toxic venom, and so by definition this makes them potentially harmful to humans. That's one of the variety of criteria that "justifies" banning a species.
This is Canada; our laws don't have to make sense.
I could go back 1 question at a time and change your answers. I'm assuming that was not an option for you?
Fish politics: The lowest hanging fruit of moral discourse?
What nonsense the government does when it can’t do what really needs doing! Like a madman thrashing about for purchase on the sanity beyond their grasp.
It seems Human trafficking doesn’t much worry those who now place the fish above the man.

Okay, looks like I never clicked the 'Done' button. I did for the survey in which I give the gov't no loopholes and I am indeed unable to retake.
Makes sense, I was trying to go back to make sure I answered the questions correctly lol
They are trying to do the same thing here in America it appears.

Thanks John, I took the survey. Personally I am all for legislation that controls the keeping of "pets", if it is good legislation, based on sound principles, with a healthy dash of common sense.
Unfortunately this is required when one lives in a city, full of irresponsible pet owners. A trip to the local animal shelter should be enough of an eye opener for most folks. Have you ever visited those facilities, located in Winnipeg? People are cruel, and there are a **** ton of pet owners in EVERY city that shouldn't be allowed to keep a pet rock. When you live within close quarters of other humans, you have to accept the fact that not all people are going to act responsibly, and certain regulations and laws have to be in effect, including for pet ownership. Personally I do not want to live next door to someone that owns 5 dogs, and 20 chickens, anymore than I want to live next door to someone that cranks out heavy metal tunes 24/7, with their windows wide open so that folks a city block away can't sleep without closing all of their windows. It sounds like you haven't lived in the city for some time, so perhaps you have forgotten how stunned many folks are, when it comes to being neighborly?
I think that you are making some HUGE assumptions amigo, which in reality will most likely never come to fruition. From your comment, as well as others that you have made here on MFK, you appear to be very anti-big brother, and anti-government. Yes? I'm fine with that, certainly there are some valid reasons for both, and you and I have both been around the block long enough to understand that one should never blindly believe anyone that is attempting to sell you a bag of goods - but unlike you I am not reading this the same as you are. Not even close. Corydoras won't be on a hit list, and neither will most tropical species, including those collected from the wild. The city of Winnipeg appears to be attempting to appease the majority of people living in the city. Is this not how cities apply their policies, from speed limits, to noise bylaws? Hopefully their decision makers apply common sense, while balancing what is fair, and safe, for all parties concerned. If we are only focusing on the animals, and not the owners, potentially I see some good coming from this.
BTW John - this thread from a local forum was from 2010, do you recall when this was initially released, and how it later played out? I haven't posted there in years, but the topic is still there. Just thought that yourself and fellow Canucks might find it interesting.
New CFIA Aquatic Import Regulations - General Aquaria Discussion - AlbertaAquatica
At the end of the day a LOT of Canucks got worked up over that as well, mostly for nothing. A decade plus later and the vast majority of tropical fish can & are still being imported into Canada. At the time their was a HUGE uproar across Canada by fish keeping folks, due to some seriously sloppy regulations put in place by our federal government. I'm guessing that in 2022 most Canadian fish keepers have no memory of this ever being part of a discussion.
