Some good news and some bad news … The good news is that, despite being online for less than a week, people are reading Cynics Unlimited. This is evidenced by a Toronto Sun quotation taken from The Jane Creba Factor while reporting on bloggers venting their grief. The bad news is that the quotation in question (”one has to wonder whether we’d all be falling over ourselves to demand government action had Jane been another Mohamed or Shaquan”) was attributed to Jack’s News Watch. Fortunately, Jack is a standup guy and searched for the actual origin of the quote to redirect inquisitive Sun readers. Much respect is due.
Speaking of Jane Creba, Jack’s website links to a Globe and Mail editorial by Margaret Wente. This truthful-though-not-quite-complete summary of the causes behind gun violence are indicative of the epic battle brewing between two groups of thinkers:
- Those who think racism/exclusion and little else contribute to the current state of the predominantly black-on-black warfare taking place in Toronto (largely socialist and/or black types)
- Those who think black culture and little else contribute to the current state of the predominantly black-on-black warfare taking place in Toronto (largely conservative and/or white types)
Of course, our trifecta of government incompetence has aggravated the situation by staging a hasty conference on how to combat gun crime … without the attendance of any actual leaders (Mayor, Premier and Prime Minister respectively) or an invitation to the black community groups who have been campaiging for months to create such a conference. Predictably, the black community groups held a press conference to vent to an all-too-eager media, which will in turn sell a lot of papers by furthering tensions. How can it not be inferred that the government is STILL not legitimately interested in bringing peace to Toronto? By catalyzing a conflict between two groups of law-abiding Canadians citizens with 99% similar objectives they’ve achieved exactly the opposite.
