A group of pet advocates is fighting for the right to bring their furry friends on Ottawa transit buses with them.

The National Capital Coalition for People and Dogs has so far collected 400 signatures on a petition to city council demanding that dogs and cats be allowed on board. Other cities such as Toronto and Vancouver allow pets on buses provided the owners abide by certain conditions and the NCCPD wondered why Ottawa doesn’t have something in place.

Transit officials are concerned that other passengers might be allergic to dogs and cats and that there might not be enough room for extra four-legged passengers. But they said that if enough citizens of Ottawa want the rules to change despite those problems, then the city’s public transit company would be willing to discuss it.

What do you think? Should pets be allowed on public transit?

Check out these incredible real voice mail messages to a woman named Olga. They’re from a guy named “Dimitri” (who styles himself as a love guru) and you won’t believe the tactics he uses to pick-up women!

Does this guy have game…or is he lame? Listen to the messages then you decide.

So, game or lame? What do you think?

Why people…WHY?!

Who looks at a pair of men’s undies and thinks “I can make a real nice tanktop out of this!” Would you ever in your life be caught dead wearing something like this? Do I even have to ask?

On the other hand, $6 for a three-pack IS a good deal!

(at least they were clean)

This is the funniest ad I’ve ever seen. It’s clever, unexpected and I love it. If you’re a sourpuss today, it’ll put a smile on your face guaranteed! (guarantee not a real guarantee)

See? Funny, eh?

Celine Dion doing AC/DC’s “You Shook Me All Night Long”  First, I can’t picture Celine or Rene Angelil shaking anybody all night long…and second: Why? Just…why?

Total Guitar magazine calls this a “sacrilege”…and I think they’re right. How about you? Great or hate?

The true north strong and free, eh?!

Congratulations to Joanna Helmer! She’s just won a trip for two anywhere Westjet flies to celebrate the birth of our great country!

Don’t feel bad if you didn’t win. We “second placers” (sounds better than losers) can still celebrate Canada day, eh! 

Gus may have been voted to the World’s Ugliest Dog 2008 title, but his family thinks he just beautiful!

Gus is missing one leg, one ear, one eye and has no hair. But what the pedigree Chinese crested dog doesn’t have in looks…he makes up for in loving personality.

Yeesh…that IS one ugly pooch! What do you think?

This guy was sometimes controversial, political, always edgy and intelligent…most of all FUNNY!

If kids are in earshot, they may hear some of what Carlin referred to as the “7 dirty words” in this video.

One of the best.

RIP.

Congratulations to Karen Walsh! She’s off to see Maroon 5 with the Counting Crows and Sara Bareilles LIVE at the Molson Amphetheatre in Toronto!

Us losers can check out the making of Maroon 5 and Rihanna’s “If I Never See Your Face Again”… and stew in our envy of Karen.

Do you think these kids should be playing outside?

Yeah, me too! So let’s do something about it! The Goodlife Kids Foundation can help! This is an incredible foundation who’s whole aim is to get kids active! On the playground, on the bike path or on the ball field. It doesn’t take alot of cash to be active, just the desire to have fun, to play and to be healthy!  Check this out:

Did you know that recent studies found that 3 out of 5 children 5 - 17 years are not active enough for optimal growth and development?  GoodLife Kids Foundation has a vision to change this, a vision for Healthy Fit Kids.  GoodLife Fitness Clubs is holding a company wide Be Someone’s Superhero 2008 campaign to help us fulfill our mission to reach the hearts and minds of kids…to inspire them to want to be fit and healthy.
