Rob Ford's Toronto

[W. K. Lis]

The Canadian immigration website has crashed.

Is the American immigration website still up? ...for Doug Ford to use?

This is from Maclean's, I thought it sounded rather familiar:

“I think that if I called [Trump], he would answer the phone, and he would come to fix what is wrong.” An irreparably divided American electorate faced a choice between dynasty and delirium, and voters chose the candidate who pledged to ride to the rescue of the common woman and man.

And of course, history is always a great teacher:

They shall find out the hard way as to just how many of them will have their light bulbs changed. And yes, light bulbs.

Disturbing that people don't have a clue that none of the countries in North America where ever "white" and started with a multicultural base.

It will being interesting, and excruciating, to see how far Trump will promote nationalism, authoritarianism, and theocracy.

Giroux is leading the investigation on the Jones murder. Does he have massive gambling debts or something that he needs to work off?

 

[riffraff]

In the press conference Giroux stated that the 2 black suspects arrested in the murder were identified by cops because they'd had "some history" with the police, while the 3rd white suspect is still being sought. I'm now waiting for a defense of carding to be made.

Dunno about that - it was basically a coin toss. A few thousand votes in swing states and we'd be looking at a Clinton win.

Pennsylvannia and Wisconsin are not exactly swing states. (Though there are some rumblings about shenanigans in Wisconsin.)

Such a defense would just prove that carding is racially motivated.

Such a defense would just prove that carding is racially motivated.

At a time when the murder rate is spiking, when tourism is up, when the cops are "engaging" in a "reformation process" and the cops want us to accept carding as a form of "community engagement", what better than this "black on black violence" scenario to argue that carding isn't racially motivated?

If they are in the system because of priors then it is not carding, carding is the unwarranted collection of personal information.

Like during Rob Ford administration, expect to see much more demonstrations. During Rob Ford's tenure, presentations by the public were cut back in their given time or the councillors (and mayor) barely listened.
