Instead of social funding we fund cults.

As cerebral activity of the average citizen is in decline, they wonder why...


Two minutes before midnight on a school night last month, four people jumped out of an SUV and shot a man dead outside a high-rise apartment in Toronto's North York neighbourhood.

Police have since charged a suspect with first-degree murder. He's 14 years old — middle-school-aged, not yet old enough to have his own driver's licence and the second boy his age in Toronto to face such a charge in less than two weeks.

"We are in a crisis," said Solange Scott, president of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation (OSSTF) professional student services personnel. "It is abnormal for a 14-year-old to be charged with first-degree murder."

Social workers, educators, psychologists and community support workers say a constellation of factors contribute to youth violence in the Greater Toronto Area, ranging from pandemic fallout to the proliferation of social media. They did, however, agree that the solution is far more straightforward: they say long-term funding commitments for support programs, coupled with the space and time to focus on root causes and violence prevention, are critical to achieving change and saving lives.

I heard an interesting parlay on TV last night giving Canada's POV on America. Canada is very nervous about America, probably fearful of another Trump candidacy. They are worried about an American civil war. Turns out that THIRTY PERCENT of all jobs in Canada are build around supplying goods and services to the USA! We could bring Canada to her knees by simply embargoing Canada.

As to the problems with crime in Toronto, seems to me that a couple of our MOABs would stop that toot-sweet.

Of course, there would be nothing left of Toronto.

My guess is that the crime ruining the city are driven mostly by the failed socialist policies of the Trudeau government.

First, I don't fear another Trump presidency. He will approve the XL Pipeline again and he.doesnt have Canada in his crosshairs.. China is his main target. Canada should refine our.own crude.but if we.can't, we need to put it to use. JT doesnt control Ontario or Toronto, he isnt the reason we are.losijg our best. The massive skewed funding to certain agencies at the cost of broader social programs.that European cities have and many major cities in the U.S.have, is a.huge contributor to T.Os failures. It wont change and I'm not interested in changing it at my age. Im trying to get out, let them fail as they please, this.city is not my problem anymore. I said my piece and shared my facts with the right people.

If the boy is charged with 1st degree murder lets have his name and see his picture

There is no reason to hide his identity
