They weren't alone. A pack of switch-blade toting SUVs was ridding backup. What's with inanimate objects these day? The whole world is going to pot: Medicinal pot.
But failed to offer proof that it was imported from the US.
My letter to the Mayor:
mayor_miller@toronto.ca
Mayor Miller,
You are quoted by CNN: "What happened yesterday was appalling. You just don't expect it in a Canadian city," the mayor said. "It's a sign that the lack of gun laws in the U.S. is allowing guns to flood across the border that are literally being used to kill people in the streets of Toronto," Miller said.
My compliments on tracing that gun back to the United States in less than a day, that’s impressive, unless, as I suspect, you haven’t really traced the gun back to the United States at all, and this is just a different flavor of MP Carolyn Parrish’s “I hate those American bastards”.
I live in Minnesota, Canada is my neighbor that I’ve visited many times, but now days Canada is the crazy old bat in the neighborhood and the one everyone should just stay away from.

Let's hope these thugs don't come to Detroit.
Wasn't the original carrier of AIDS from Africa to North America a Canadien pilot or flight attendent?
It's funny, but I saw a documentary recently on the attitudes of Canadian youth towards the USA. Their vile spewing of hatred reminds me distinctly of my very own inner city high school classroom. My students display exactly the same sort of wretchedness. I can only conclude that their youth has been manipulated as ours has by the same liberalism/globalism infestations that control their public schools and colleges.
Yeah they just love our jeans and music and movies and theme parks but they hate our form of government, our Constitution and at least one of our political parties....not to mention our President. Well newsflash: Can't have one without accepting the other.
Like, a decade ago...
I've lived in the United States for 56 years; and, I've never witnessed a shooting. Must be something wrong in Canada.
That is exactly the problem. We can actually learn from some US cities that have tried to fight the gangs and tear them apart.
David Miller and Paul Martin are just playing to their base - and Martin has the Toronto vote all locked up already. All he is doing is suicide - it will cost him critical rural ridings that he narrowly held onto last time.
Feel free to come up to Canada, just stay clear of the big cities infested by these ultra-liberals.
Aren't Canadians responsible for saying what enters their country? That is the way it works everywhere else. Why is Canada different?
Gangs? Who are in these gangs? Other articles suggest they have the same problem we do - illegal immigrants who are members of unbelievably violent gangs.
Then the article says this (the Liberal "solution"):
Wendy Cukier, president of the Coalition for Gun Control and a criminal justice professor at Ryerson University in Toronto, said a broad-based approach is needed to deal with violence. She advocates a visible presence of officers in communities where guns are a problem, a strong show of partnership between police, religious and community leaders, and a restoration of social and recreational programs lost due to government spending cuts a decade ago.
What "religious" leaders are they talking about? The Canadian government has already targeted Christians from speaking out about sin and depravity. The Canadian government has "hate crime" statutes that they have already use to muzzle Christian leaders who speak out against homosexuality and other sins. Moreover, the number of practicing Christians in Canada is in a free fall.
Do they mean Muslim religious leaders? Are these Muslim gangs?
Sadly, the MSM will never tell us, we have to do their homework for them I suppose.
Finally, as to the "Toronto has finally lost its innocence" claptrap spoken by the Canadians, I can't help be be outraged.
I have been to Toronto, Montreal, and other Canadian cities. I found more sex clubs per square block in Toronto when I walked back to my hotel than convienence stores.
Canada's group sex club patrons swinging free
Well, they do have a habit of screwing themselves.
A lot of wisdom in your post.
Well gosh. New York is the closest US state to Toronto. NY has pretty stringent gun laws too.
Maybe if they're lucky, Canada can ban knives too like Britain has had to do.
