Fine, challenge then. I'm not a fan of saying people have to do something to prove what they are or aren't. Have a read up on what people were told to do during the Spanish Inquisition to prove they weren't Jews or Muslims.

Out of how many, total? And how likely are any of those to affect you?

There is indeed nothing wrong with that, but there's also no real evidence it is 'diminishing'. This is just based on the feels of a few white people who noticed they're no longer such a majority and this is, as you put it elsewhere, 'apparently so bad'. There are also many nations that are not 'white/European' that have diversity - it's just that it was achieved earlier or it's not as obvious to the outside world.
This is all I'm going to say unless this discussion is continued on a more appropriate thread somewhere else.

You don't need force to coerce. And what challenge? The whole premise of him being a self-appointed arbiter is kind of pathetic in the first place.
Anyways, re: TPS - isn't what Sloly said interesting. And funny how TPA is calling for investigations, considering the pedigree of those in it.

Yeah, the cops aren't keen on critics, even (especially?) from within the force.

.... especially from the TPSB, and they apparently know their place.
Saunders says he wants to win back public confidence but doesn't have a clue where to start. They won't even admit to "a few bad apples" as usually happens elsewhere when citizens call for better civilian oversight after outrageous incidents, or offer to share their 'internal' data for scrutiny. Public confidence in the growing security state 5 years after the G20 demonstration of how far they're ready to go to "protect" us. We better be careful where we pull out our cellphones in case a cop mistakes it for a gun as recently happened in the States resulting in another police shooting death.

They really picked their moment to bring in the new rifle ... and then justify it by saying more and more civilians are wearing body armour.

Equipment is small beans and a distraction - I'd rather focus on how Sloly (someone internal) basically said that the current leadership is subscribing to a bloated model of policing

Heard a radio clip a couple of days ago about Saunders wanting to create a 3rd Deputy Chief position, but Sloly did a nice hand-off to Shelley Carroll and Micheal Thompson. Guess Tory's having to get off his ravine legacy thinking and pay attention to the Province's Police Act review. .

Yes, by appointing his good oldboys club buddy Andy Pringle to the TPSB who promptly pushed for Status Quo Saunders. The commitment to reform is strong with that one.

TCHC still doesn't have a permanent CEO since Gene Jones was turfed. Look how well its doing without a Tory buddy to head it.

I've been waiting for this ... Alok Mukherjee weighed in with his official complaint on Sauners and TPSB.

Maybe the language is confusing. Replace suburb with borough. Yes, there are certain neighbourhoods that are predominantly white. The boroughs at large are a different story. That is what I meant.

I don't think Ari was asking people to prove the validity of their religious convictions. He was just saying that they ought to make it known that they don't condone acts of terrorism in the name of their religion.
