Will Ottawa Follow Toronto's Lead?

The Ottawa Sun and Globe and Mail report today that six dogs have become ill apparently after eating dried dog food found in two Ottawa parks. While it is not known if this is a copy-cat act, when the City of Toronto fenced off a 21 acre park because of dog poisonings, it let a criminal disrupt an entire community. Unfortunately, there are people who seek this kind of power and attention. Did Toronto's action set a precedent that someone in Ottawa is acting on? Based on the experience in Riverdale and the community reaction that has followed, the City of Ottawa would be wise not to give a criminal the power to further disrupt the way honest people live, work, and play.
