Sharia Toronto: Cabbies turning away passengers with seeing-eye dogs

Under that rule you must be Jewish. At least non-Jews don't have to lie for more that 70 years to get some (undeserved) sympathy. How many perished in the holocaust?? (just to prove how ill informed you really are and this will show it to the whole site)
I have yet to see any Jew thank you (or gerr) for your level of undying support. You are a tool and not a very sharp one.
He doesn't do anything but troll, it would be above his pay-grade.
That is still better than a big dog being allergic to cabbies. Most cities also have handi-cap buses.
GREAT SCOTT!!! You're silly. Even a troll like Das would read the link before commenting on it. You're a special kind of silly aren't you?
To be honest it's hypocritical. I've seen Muslims in Muslim countries using dogs to Shepherd animal across the open land. A human using a dog as a guide is no different in the sense with the animal being a tool. I'm sure Allah is understanding enough to understand himself and so should these cabbies
Yup, that's in the link that jinentonix either didn't bother to read or didn't understand
A friend of ours is a para. When he visits Vancouver and needs a cab he asks for one that accommodates wheelchairs. The company phone person asks if he can transfer in and out of chair easily or not. Then if not they send a van with a lift. If people can transfer they can use a regular cab with a trunk or compartment big enough for a wheelchair.
Certainly, however, if a cabbie pulls over and sees a dog, they do not have to stop. Or if the cabbie is sitting and someone wanders over wanting a ride, the cabbie can just say they are waiting for an appointed fare. There is no need to be rude or unpleasant. The ones that are rude and unpleasant should not have licenses.
We visited my sister one time and the 3 of us were in a cab and going to a restaurant. The cabbie was Pakistani or Hindu or from somewhere over there in south east asia and he seemed to want to give us a $150 tour of various Vancouver streets before getting us to the restaurant. That plan did not work because my sis pipes up and gives the cabbie exact directions on how where to go in the least amount of time. Cabbie was a bit put off. lol

Could it be that some that aren't Islamic just don't feel like cleaning dog hair off the seat before their next fare?
What the cabbie likes and doesn't like really doesn't matter. Service dogs are covered in Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 545: Licencing.

In part:
Now I do agree with the concept if you are serving the public under a license
and you refuse service for this particular reason which is recognized in society
you should lose your license.
I also think there are other problems out there like in our city we had drivers who
refused to drive a bus because of a pro choice advertisement. In this case the
driver should lose his job as well. He is working for a licensed operator and has
a license to drive under more demanding conditions.
I think religion should be left at the door of the workplace and if the rules and laws
are not followed religious freedom nonsense should not apply this is a secualr
society

I fully realize that, but to be fair, unless the driver is identified, it could be just a lazy cabbie!
And I'm not defending anyone................
