Yahoo!! - Toronto Breaks Record
Police are hunting for two suspects after a man was shot to death Sunday night at a townhouse complex in the northwest part of Toronto.
We beat the Year of the Gun. We beat the Year of the Gun!
Remember 2005, when we reached this landmark record when a 15 year old innocent was murdered by gangbangers on Boxing Day outside of the Eaton Centre?
We did it. We beat it!
Even though David Miller implemented all kinds of rec pregrams and hired 250 new cops (against his better judgement) and got homes for all the poor people and all. Remember him and McGuinty and Martin all gathering at the scene of the crime promising this would never happen again and making all those empty promises?
And we still got 36 days to establish a record that will never ever be broken.
This is terrific. And proof of what an incompetent Mayor Toronto has and how bereft of common sense and compassion those Liberals and NDPers who oppose tough laws against violent criminals are.

Reid: Opposition is emerging to the Government's Crime Bill
Some members of the opposition parties are backtracking on their support of the Government's crime bill because they say it violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and will fail a Charter challenge. It warms the cockles of my heart to know that there are members of the opposition parties that want to protect the rights of habitual violent offenders over the rights of society.
If this turns into a serious opposition, I think that the Government should put the Notwithstanding clause (I am so thankfull that Martin didn't win the last election and axe this provision) into the bill and make it a confidence vote. It would be difficult for both the Liberals and NDP to campaign on the issue of favouring the rights of criminals over the rights of society in an election. This is exactly the type of circumstance that clause 33 was designed for.
I believe that the majority of Canadians are in favour of this crime bill and it would be political suicide to try to campaign against it.

what's wrong with this picture?
Morons who label the opposition as soft on crime when in reality, the opposition is right in saying the law will do nothing if it is struck down as unconstitutional! Is this the fault of the opposition?
This isn't about favoring the rights of criminals! It's about making a law that will actually be effective! And that seems to be the thing that conservatives can't get through their thick skulls!
They seem more interested in garnering votes with ineffective laws, and promises that do nothing, while painting the opposition wrongly.
Hooray for Canada!
Quite the public service.
Any talk about changing the gun laws there?
Always. The bleeding hearts blame the USA for our gun problems and most of the problems seem to be related to Jamacain gangs. Our solution is much like the ones they preach in the USA...basketball courts, $$$$ allocated to "at risk kids," etc. It is not the punks fault...it is society.
The police do their job but the courts let them out on bail,take for ever to bring the punks to trial and then they are given concurrent sentences, allowances for time spent waiting for trial, etc.
Our gun laws, particularly hand guns, is pretty tough but judges don't ever give the maximum and their is talk about mandatory sentences but I am not holding my breath.
and the righteous right always holler about stuffing our jails more and that will solve our problems. Works wonders in the US of A apparently.
So the bleeding hearts, the righteous right, really couldn't give two shits really. Apparently. Or they really are brain dead.
I guess that was maybe a little too much common sense. Or opinions that you don't share are 'cheap shots'.
Funny how it seems to be generally gutless conservative bloggers who censor most.
Whaaaaaaa. I don't like what he said!
It'd be prudent perhaps to post that only conservative views are welcome, all others regarded as cheap shots or not worth posting.
Well you know what I used to say, you can't take it, don't dish it.
