Well, it's good to know that Toronto is taking some action against gangs.
See here for the report.
Now, what bugs me is that, Communist Peggy Nash from the NDP, skewered Gwyn Morgan because he dared to say that gangs, some of them refugees, were a problem.
Now we see in Toronto, that the Jamestown Crew, a gang, has been arrested by over 600 police in a sweeping raid.
Okay, I'm not dumb, but the only ones I saw in handcuffs, were, excuse me if saying "black" is "racist", but the media sure didn't say it, but they were all black, and terrorizing their own neighbourhood.
I don't know if they are refugees, but I do know that they are bad guys, can't say they are "criminals" yet, need to be politically correct here.
So, Peggy Nash, Volpe, and the other people who smeared a very honourable man, are worse than scum in my eyes. They let us know that petty political politics are more important than getting a good man to work for our government.
SHAME SHAME SHAME on the Morgan five, who I hope will not be back in Parliament next time, talk about slimy politicians.
Good job by the Toronto Police, keep it up!!

"If there were no Jamaican Canadians in Toronto it probably be would be some other group facing the brunt of the racism."
From the linked article:
Police also seized 20 firearms, including an AK-47 assault rifle and two MAC-10 automatic machine pistols. Several hundred thousand dollars in cash, four vehicles and 15 kilograms of cocaine were also seized.
Blair said police have cracked a major pipeline of illegal guns that are being smuggled from the United States to Toronto. End quote.
Now what part of that is racist, fool? And do you really think a 10 year old article by some milqetoast socialist is the final word on the social dynamic of gang warfare in Toronto? Maybe for you, but for the rest of us, if it walks like a duck and quacks likes a duck, there's a pretty good chance it is a frickin' duck.
Get over your guilt, or don't - but you are not going to project it onto the rest of us.

OFFICER CHARGED IN COCAINE BUST
15 Kilograms Found in House
Constable Linked to Ex-Argo's Case
A Peel police officer has been charged with drug trafficking and other related offences involving cocaine with a street value of more than $500,000.
Const. Sheldon Cook, 38, was arrested by RCMP officers at his residence on Friday night where it's alleged 15 kilograms of cocaine were found hidden in a storage area.
Neither the RCMP nor Peel police would comment on the arrest, but sources said the 14-year veteran police officer had been in charge of guarding the drugs when they disappeared from a Peel police station in Mississauga last Wednesday.
Peel police would only confirm the officer was assigned to 12 Division.
Cook has been involved since March 2004 in a separate case in Brampton. A former Toronto Argonaut linebacker is accused of cocaine possession and assaulting Cook and his partner, Const. Grant Gervais.
Oreth ( Orlando ) Bowen, 30, has pleaded not guilty to the charges, claiming the two undercover officers planted the drugs on him on the night of March 26, 2004, in the parking lot of the Locomotion strip club on Eglinton Ave. E. and Dixie Rd. in Mississauga.
The Crown alleges that Bowen, who played four years in the Canadian Football League, dropped a tiny bag of cocaine containing 1.7 grams when he was arrested by the two Peel officers and then assaulted them with fists and an elbow while trying to escape.
Defence counsel David Humphrey contends Bowen was searched without cause and assaulted by the officers who planted the cocaine to justify their actions that night.
At the trial, Cook testified he saw Bowen drop the drug package to the ground. He said he was concerned after seeing a tire iron and rubber mask in the rear seat of the former football player's car because there had been a recent string of massage parlour robberies using disguises.
Police photographs entered at the trial showed only a child's car seat in the back of the car.
Justice Ford Clements is expected to render his decision on that trial on Jan. 31.
Cook made a brief appearance Saturday in a Brampton courtroom where he was released on $5,000 bail with no deposit on a number of conditions, including not to possess any firearms or consume or possess any illegal drugs. He was also ordered to turn over his passport.
He has been charged with possession of cocaine, possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and breach of trust. He is slated to return to court Jan. 6.

EX-CFLER ACQUITTED; JUDGE DEEMED ARRESTING OFFICERS' TESTIMONY TO BE 'NOT WORTHY OF BELIEF'
A former football player who had received awards for his work with Peel cops was acquitted yesterday of charges of drug possession and assaulting police.
Oreth (Orlando) Bowen, 30, played as a linebacker in the Canadian Football League from 2000-03 with both the Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Judge Ford Clements ruled evidence provided by the arresting police officers to be "not worthy of belief."
Bowen was charged following an incident on March 26, 2004 in which he allegedly had 1.7 grams of cocaine in his possession in a parking lot in Mississauga. He was also charged with assaulting the police officers. Bowen contended the officers planted the drugs on him.
Bowen said he felt a sense of release after hearing the charges were dropped.
"We had faith in the justice system, but it was shaken at times just seeing how things unfolded," Bowen said.
"I couldn't even fathom having to deal with what we've had to deal with," Bowen said. "All the work we've done for the (Brampton) community with the police -- and then to have this be put on us -- it's been very difficult, and that's an understatement."
Bowen said he is considering launching a civil suit.
He is currently working as a personal trainer and has organized some sports camps for youths. He hasn't ruled out playing football again.
"There's still things I have to deal with, both physically and emotionally, and the most important thing is I'm there for my family," he said.
Bowen, the son-in-law of CFL Hall of Famer Chuck Ealey, is married and has two children aged 2 1/2 and 15 months.
