Petition Prince Albert

[agentf]

It seems we overlooked something, that Albert does charity. In his personal life as much as his public life.

I'm going to go on a limb about a desperate cause that's been dear to my heart for almost 5 years. I've written many levels of government US & Canada, I've involved PeTA (who were cavalierly treated) and even the Human Rights Commission. I'll put it in a nutshell. An American woman who bought a heritage home in the outskirts of Halifax, Nova Scotia on the Canadian East Coast is living a nightmare for the last five years.

She fell victim to envious neighbours when she undertook renovations on her new home at the end of a street inhabited by inbred albeit city-connected yahoos (my words not hers). It seems she committed the crime of not hiring that family's contractor whose wife made false accusations about the American citizen's rescued dog, Brindi, which resulted in the biggest travesty of a seizure and ensuing miscarriage of justice after the woman won her court case to save her dog but was not allowed for Brindi to be returned. The cost of her legal battle put her home's restoration in jeopardy and soon the neighbours from hell jumped on the phone to their son-in-law and city employee to declare the house unsound and try to evict her. Her home was vandalized, her contractors intimidated and chased away. This is a David and Goliath struggle.

Albert, please call Frank McKenna and end the moral abuse of this woman, Francesca Rogier by the city of Halifax. I will sing your praises until my dying day as I have no more breath to plead on her behalf.

Save Brindi the dog who has been illegally detained by the city of Halifax.

Thanks Mrs Z. I want someone more powerful than me, in this case Prince Albert, to make a phone call that will bring back together a woman and her dog before each dies of a broken heart. This is the last thing I didn't already try, short of hiring a team of mercenaries to kidnap the dog from the city pound. Albert knows a fair and just Canadian who is also sympathetic to Americans, who also happens to be from the region of the East Coast. My fingers are crossed that if Albert doesn't use the Internet, that a good soul will relay the message.

May you never have to undergo what that woman has - financial ruin and the rapt of your closest "kin" I detect a lack of empathy and misogyny behind your unappreciated and useless comment.

For those who may care, Rogier has had to transcend that city's politics by going to the Supreme Court. Her dog has received clearance by impartial experts and the city has no legal ground for having kept her dog for what is the fifth year now. That's plain sadistic to me. So forgive me if I don't see the levity, other than my allusion to hiring mercenaries. I'd do the same as this woman, which is to not give up, if the shoe was on my foot and it were my dog people used to try to achieve their nefarious aims towards me. You should expect in the 21st century that an educated, independent single woman with her own property can have the same freedoms as any man in the same circumstances would, rather than have a lynching mob at her door for not doing what strangers would have wanted her to do. I've experienced a bit of what she has and that's why I know it's possible that people here can be this mean.

For those who don't care, carry on with comments on topics that you do.

I am talking about this! Are you fricking serious?

" Albert, please call Frank McKenna and end the moral abuse of this woman, Francesca Rogier by the city of Halifax. I will sing your praises until my dying day . "
" I want someone more powerful than me, in this case Prince Albert, to make a phone call that will bring back together a woman and her dog "

Am I the only one who find this utterly ridiculous?!

@rp Listen, move on.

Five years of frustrations lobbying for a woman deprives me of the cynicism that you're expecting from me right now. I am serious about this cause. Would I sing Albert's praises? It's a small concession if anyone succeeded where I've failed. I'd sign your praises if you could pick up the phone, call the right person and relieve this woman of this unbearable cruelty. I'd also, if this injustice happened to you, jump in with both feet whether I knew you or not. We're different I guess.
