Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

I would bet a lot of money she hates Trump.
Almost all the nuts lean left
Not only hates but BLAMES Trump.
Why are so many of the whiners fat?
so they can blame their weight on their mental
Which one is the horse?
I bet when she walks the hole between her ears whistles. Another reason to never fly.
Horses are flight animals. Hard to calm down a horse that panics other than a good mile run.
Horse?
Service Donkey.
..and if for some reason this pony panicked on the plane…we would be reading a completely different story

Maybe she’s bringing the horse as a means of providing feedback on the airline’s service.
I feel sorry for ‘Prance’ – he should be playing outside.
If I’m on a plane and there’s such a critter on board, I’ll make sure he’ll be playing outside. How far above the ground he’ll be when that happens remains to be seen.
Ha! As long as Critter’s ‘on’ the ground…outside.
Like Kenji, @ 3:21 pm, I too, would deplane, for the following reason:

AND…I’m not afraid of flying-
– just crazy unreasonable people, like Nellie!
AND…what the heck is wrong with THAT Airline?
I bet there are a whole lot of daddy issues riding on that pony.
There is a Tijuana donkey show joke in there somewhere.
Both the sow and the mare belong in a cargo hold or on a cattle car.
I would get up out of my seat and refuse to fly with that insane passenger and her little pony. I would demand to be put on the next flight to my destination. Mutiny is the ONLY remedy to this stupidity. Your “companion” animal is my “Terrorism” animal.
Hint: hey woman! Lose 100lbs and you might become less “anxious”
“woman”?
You sure? I thought someone tied a sow to a pony?
Have the airlines calculated how many passengers they can carry … by weight? Of course they have. But have they calculated “pony weight” along with the other live loads? Along with overweight female passengers?
And where the hell does this pony go? In the aisles? What about Emergency evacuation!!?? What does the stewardess say when she’s announcing the emergency exit conditions? Step over the pony? This has gone FAR ENOUGH. STOP ALREADY!!
Who cleans up the horseshit?
a damn schitt for brains comes along for that job!
Digging a little bit I find that the horse is not an emotional support animal, it’s a service animal, so don’t you dare make fun you nasty ableists.
Digging even further I find that one of the services is emotional support during disabling panic attacks, so yeah, it’s an emotional support animal.
Maybe someone who suffers from ”disabling panic attacks” shouldn’t fly.
What would ‘Nervous Nellie’ do should ‘Prance’ …
need to, ahem…. need to void or, ahem, need to have a, ahem …. bowel movement?
Wonder if the geniuses with the Airlines negotiated that with Nellie?
I guess that would ‘Depend'(s)…. huh?
Ha!
Wonder if the geniuses with the Airlines negotiated that with Nellie?
They would thank her for her critter’s “customer feedback”, of course. (“See, American Airlines? This is what my horsie thinks of your service!”)
Good one.
As for the (other) passengers, meh, who cares what they think!
“When exiting the airliner, please step over the road apples … “
She said it’s ‘My little Pony” “So bugger off”
Well if she had a Great Dane as a service animal, it would be about just as big.
A horse and a cow get on a plane…
The smell!! Oh lord … the smell
lmao
Sarcasm tinged with irony alert: I’ll believe that when pigs fly.
“when pigs fly” Remember the days when farce was separate from reality.

I read the article,
she says flying bothers the horse too much, next time she will drive instead
so let me get this straight,
because she needed emotional support, she put a horse trough a very unpleasant experience
she feels entitled to making an animal suffer so that she will feel better
she is not only nuts, she is cruel to animals
I’m going to try to be scrupulously fair here, she was on her way to a service animal convention. The horse wasn’t simply along for her ride, the horse was a featured guest at the destination. The horse had been a show animal before it was trained as a service animal and was used to being transported, it had just never been upgraded to cabin seating before.
She says that the horse calmly napped during most of the flight and only got a bit agitated during takeoff and landing.
I occasionally get agitated taking off and landing.
A perceptive horse. Takeoff and landing are the most dangerous times in an airplane flight.
I recently got an e-mail advertising a course on how to raise chickens and – wait for it – …….”Therapy Hens”.
They’re very tasty.
Min horses have been around for some years now. Kids tried to get Granny to go for a “seeing eye horse”.
Great.
Next time somebody tells me “I was in the ‘mile-high’ club on my last flight. She was a bit of a horse”, now I have to think twice.
Can’t live vicariously through THAT anecdote any more.
OK, it is my understanding that they are starting to use mini horses as “seeing eye” animals for the blind because they are lower cost in the long run than dogs – live much longer and cheaper to feed. BUT they need to have a suitable temperament and pass a formal training course, including being house-trained, to become accredited…..in other words the same type of training as a dog. If accredited, it should be easy to show that they are bona fide necessary service animals, as opposed to a pet being transported at the whim of the owner.
I’ve been treated unfairly. When I asked the airline to flood the plane in order for my ‘Comfort Orca’ to feel at home, they responded with some BS about extra weight or somesuch.
Well, they can’t use THAT excuse when I arrive with my ‘Comfort Giraffe’!
“Flood the plane…”
Ahahahahahaha!
so captain Ahab is biassed
Awesome. Let’s all bring our comfort alligators, comfort skunks, and comfort howler monkeys on our next flight.
We can join the entitled class too.
But if I say I want to bring my therapy Smith and Wesson, I get treated like the crazy one and put on all the watchlists!
bullshit
Nice handle.
were’d ewe git that name
Can’t see that fitting under the seat in front of it, turbulence anyone?
The mini horse appeared better behaved than a lot of people I’ve observed on planes. Quite docile, actually. Probably a good idea to give it and any other equine flyer a tranquilizer as if spooked it could do a fair amount of harm.
It’s a service animal, not an emotional support animal. The airline only allows a cat or dog as an emotional support animal. It allows a cat or a dog or a miniature horse as a service animal. So, you’re basically yelling about a seeing-eye dog not a security blanket.
Are you arguing that horses are as smart and trainable as dogs?
And if there isn’t an extra charge for the service animals, then my kids are service humans for my wife any myself and should fly for free.
I guess no one from the airline or the DOT has ever seen a horse go beserk. We are in the horse business and it ain’t pretty. Its downright dangerous.
HT a yup, I’v seen them go full tilt nitz, and they are dangerous then
I tied a horse to a small shed with a rope and halter. The horse pulled on the rope and the shed started moving. It then thought the shed was chasing it and ran a mile or two around the field with the shed getting smaller and smaller the further it went. When I caught up to it, it had a 4 foot piece of 2 by 4 on the end of the rope and was so tired it could barely move. Back in the day horses killed lots of people. Obviously miniatures are less dangerous but they still have the same instincts
Landlords are also required to take miniature horses if the tenant has a doctor’s letter provided if and only if the horse is house broken. How do they house break a horse?
As a former landlord I’ve seen more than one dog break a house. I am sure a horse could do an even better job.
Is it possible to demand a flight absent animals of any kind as a special emotional support accommodation?
Actually, I’d just be happy if people would stop bringing their friggin’ dogs to retail stores and eating establishments.
Stunned retarded simple fat weird twit moron cow sow reject
It was the U.S. Department of Transportation that came up with this crap. https://www.foxnews.com/travel/miniature-horses-allowed-fly-service-animals-dot
It’s time to tell Transport Canada to not even think about trying to pull the same stunt.
Just another reason not to fly American Airlines.
I have to stuff my carry on underneath the seat in front of me in order to keep the row free in case we need to evacuate the aircraft. Pray tell where does one stuff the horse to keep the rows and the aisle free? Second, I and every other passenger on the aircraft has to be restrained with a seatbelt and baggage has to be carefully stowed so as not to go flying through the cabin on impact if the aircraft crash lands. What happens to the horse in this situation — 250 lbs of meat, bones and hooves flying through the cabin? This insanity will last until the first disaster and the subsequent lawsuits after which reason may return.
I want to see it go down the inflatable emergency exit chute.
Headline should read: Horse Flies on American Airlines.
On passenger complained that she had flies buzzing around her face. She rang the stewardess and asked: ”Why are all those flies hanging around my face??. The stewardess replied, ”Those are horseflies.”
The passenger asks: ”Where did they come from??”
”They were flying around that horse’s ass, the one that’s on the plane over there” replies the stewardess.
”So why are they flying around my face??” asks the passenger.
The stewardess replied. ”I don’t know. But you can sure fool a horsefly.”
Empathy people! Who among us has never wanted a pony? I rest my case./
P.S. the pony in the picture looks miserable. Mental cruelty is a real possibility here.
question-Why don’t the blind skydive?
answer-Because their seeing-eye dogs scream all of the way down./
Wasn’t it under that pile of manure in your bedroom?
Tell her to travel by train, after all didn’t trains once have cattle cars. She could even ride with the horse in the cattle car if that would help her gain relief from her stress.
soooooo when is the horse going to pilot the plane?
