It looks like some bans are going the other as in they are getting lifted. Edmonton's ban wasn't effective and Ontario is looking at getting rid of their ban as well.

Last October, Edmonton scrapped 25-year-old restrictions on the animals after a report found the tough rules were ineffective at reducing biting.

And while it is still illegal to own a pit bull in Ontario, a majority of politicians in the legislature supported a private member’s bill in 2012 urging the Liberals to quash the breed-specific ban.
