YEA TO THE NEIGH.
On January 31st, 2024 Bill C-355 passed its first reading in Parliament by a margin of 181-137. What does this mean?

Everybody who has contributed their time, voice or money to the HORSESHIT campaign. Thank you. It takes every one of us.

The fight is not over. Not even close. 181-137 is a surprisingly narrow margin for what seems like a non-partisan issue. This tells us that not all politicians support our animals, and that there are aspects of the bill that still require attention.

Bill C-355 is now being debated in the Senate with a vote to follow. We need to make our voices heard to get this across the finish line. Contacting Canadian Senators is the #1 thing you can do to help.
On September 27th, 2024 Jann gathered 500 friends in a back alley at TOGETHERHEADS Studio in Vancouver. She spoke about horses and sang a few songs to raise awareness for the upcoming Senate vote.

This issue has been tabled.
On December 16th, 2021 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued mandate letters to his ministers that would ban the export of live horses for slaughter. This campaign promise resulted in a landslide of supportive voters. Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, was expected in good faith to honour this motion.
Let’s flip the table.
Progress.
Jann Arden met privately with former PM Justin Trudeau on to discuss this issue. He assured Jann that steps were being taken to follow through on his commitment.
On September 19th, 2023, MP Tim Louis introduced Private Member’s Bill C-355 to ban live horse export with the support of PM Trudeau and many other representatives.

Where We Stand.
Bill C-355 passed in Parliament by a narrow margin of 181-137. HOWEVER, it did not survive the Senate approval vote in late 2024. Canada was in political turmoil at that time and focused on electing a new Prime Minister.
The Bill must now be modified in Parliament for another attempt at Senate approval. Let’s remind PM Mark Carney and his Agriculture Minister Heath MacDonald of their longstanding commitment to end live horse export in Canada.
