How about they stop glorifying crime and Gangsta culture?

Canada is putting too many Black Canadians behind bars. Here is what we can do about it

With Black Americans making up only 12.2 per cent of the population, but 32 per cent of the prison population (2021-2022 figures), the high incarceration rates and racial disparities in the U.S. criminal justice system have drawn significant global attention, especially after the police murder of George Floyd.

Less known is the racial disparity in Canada, where Black Canadians account for only 3.5 per cent of the general population but represent 9.2 per cent of the prison population. This means Black Americans are incarcerated approximately 2.62 times their population representation and Black Canadians nearly identical at 2.63 times.


Blacks are incapable of making sound life choices according to this article so must be treated leniently when they commit a criminal act.

And you’re a racist of course.

WARMINGTON: Time to send a message and arrest those who terrorize motorists during protests

Arrest them!

Going up into traffic on the Gardiner Expressway or on the lanes that lead to and from the highway is not protest.

It’s terror.

He’s right, but unfortunately for Canadians identity politics and so called “anti-Zionism” trump the rule of law.

Viva Islamophobia!

Community Note on X Exposes The Guardian’s Hypocrisy Regarding ‘Two-Tier Policing’ in the UK

One of the most helpful and interesting features of X since Elon Musk took over Twitter and transformed it is Community Notes. Most of the time, the feature serves as a way to hold users and media outlets accountable for what they say on the platform, often with a nice dose of snark. Granted, it doesn’t work sometimes, but Community Notes has been useful and often fun.

‘It was harassment’: Ford weighs in on video where cop appears to give middle finger to heckler

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is coming to the defence of a Toronto police officer who was captured on video flipping their middle finger to a citizen during a heated exchange.

“Let’s support our police. Let’s thank them, rather than getting Google Glasses and trying to, you know, harass our police, that’s what I call it. It was harassment,” Ford said of the video while taking questions from the media in Mississauga Wednesday morning.


Hard to pick a side here.

The videographer was over the top but rules for thee and not for me is a bad look for a public relations problem child like the TPS.

The TPS has been selective about enforcing the rule of law in Toronto.

Their decisions are driven by identity politics and the charge of “Two-Tiered Policing” is a valid complaint.

It seems their primary role is to escort Hamas support rallies and ignore the crime that contributes to Toronto’s deteriorating quality of life.

They always want to be paid more of course and that is no longer sustainable in a city enduring economic decline.

Cops with attitude are all too common and it must be remembered they are not your friend just the paid militia of the government.

What is Elon Musk’s game plan?

X can feel like two parallel universes at times.

There’s the version where the president of the United States chooses the platform to announce he won’t be running for re-election. That’s the one where the worldwide authority on a particular subject uses X to offer their expert take on unfolding events.

And then there’s the version where false claims, hate and conspiracy theories, including many posts relating to the recent riots and protests across the UK, are recommended to millions who have made absolutely no attempt to seek them out.

At the centre of it all is X’s owner Elon Musk, one of the world’s richest people. But this isn’t just a story about the monetisation strategy and algorithms employed by X under his tenure and how they are boosting divisive content.


Someone is very afraid they have lost control of the narrative.

Michael Higgins: Shoplifting rates show how tough life has become in Trudeau’s Canada

Canada is turning into a nation of shoplifters, which is less an indictment of the criminal and more a sad reflection on our government.

Shoplifting increased 18 per cent in 2023, with 155,280 reported incidents, according to Statistics Canada. And that increase built on 2022, which saw a 31 per cent rise from the previous year.

Every crime tells a story, but some generalizations can be made about certain categories of offences.

Shamima Begum will never be allowed to return to UK after losing final court bid

Shamima Begum will never be allowed to return to the UK after the Supreme Court refused to hear her appeal against the removal of her British citizenship.

On Wednesday, justices at the UK’s highest court said Ms Begum could not appeal again after she lost a Court of Appeal bid in February.

Last year, Ms Begum lost her appeal against the decision to revoke her citizenship on national security grounds at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC), after she was found in a Syrian refugee camp following her travel to the country as a 15-year-old in 2015.

From ‘far-left lunatic’ to ‘they say he’s the son of Fidel Castro,’ Trump takes aim at Trudeau

On Monday, former U.S. president Donald Trump repeated the false claim that Fidel Castro could be Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s real father. While Trump frequently expresses his love for Canada, he has previously taken aim at Trudeau for being “two faced,” “weak” and a “far left lunatic.”

NYC journalist who documented pro-Palestinian vandalism arrested on felony hate crime charges

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City journalist was arrested on felony hate crime charges Tuesday after filming a pro-Palestinian protest earlier this summer in which activists hurled red paint at the homes of top leaders at the Brooklyn Museum.

Samuel Seligson, an independent videographer, was not involved in the vandalism and is only accused of documenting it, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the case. The official spoke with The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation.

Leena Widdi, an attorney for Seligson, said New York Police Department officers twice raided Seligson’s Brooklyn apartment in the past week before he turned himself in early Tuesday.

Trudeau’s EV mandate will break the bank

We don’t know all the inevitable costs for Trudeau’s EV mandate, but everything we do know shows we can’t afford it

Alberta’s energy regulator recently warned people to stop using kitchen appliances because the electricity grid was at risk of blacking out.

Albertans were told to stop cooking on stoves and washing clothes in warm water.

You know, modern life, circa 1955.

The government also told us to not charge electric cars.

If we’re being told to stop using toasters, how are we going to charge our government-mandated EVs?

UK: Home Office Minister Jess Phillips under fire for ‘excusing masked thugs’

A Home Office minister has been accused of excusing the behaviour of masked activists who forced a live Sky News broadcast off air.

Jess Phillips, the safeguarding minister and Labour MP for Birmingham Yardley, was criticised for “justifying” the actions of the men, one of whom who appeared to be carrying a large bat.

In a clip shared online, a man sped up on a motorbike behind the Sky News presenter Becky Johnson as she reported on hundreds of Muslims forming a protective ring around a mosque in Birmingham.

England is toast and Canada will be soon unless Trudeau and the Liberal Party are jailed.
