George Wallace said:This discussion is now bordering on the ridiculous. A Pet is not a Child, and never will be. Your conscious decision to own a pet is yours, but you must be prepared to give up that pet should the situation dictate. A child is not a pet, and can in no way be discussed in any way as being similar or equal. If you have to, you can give up your pet to a friend or family, or have it put down. A child you can not. When it comes to 'Rental' properties, there is no way that one can compare a child to a pet. This whole line of argument is totally out to lunch. If you insist on keeping it up, this will become nothing else but a topic that is relegated to Radio Chatter.
George, this is not as ridiculous as you think. A few years ago in Montreal, landlords refused families with kids in their appartments. On the North Shore of Montreal, last year, a contractor refused to sell one of his property to a family because they had kids below the age of 18 years old (kids disturb neighbours and it was bad for the sales in his development neighbourhood) They both got away with it.
Again, I don't think this case is a case for the media, but the issue of accomodation in Edmonton should certainly be addressed by the chain of command.
