Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

I’m sure they were enriched by diversity again in Toronto.
we now know it was sudden jihad syndrome brought on by mental illness.

Why can’t those Amish just stay in their enclave around Cambridge?
I call fake news. Hand guns are pretty much illegal in Toronto. Must have happened somewhere else.
It is important to verify if the gunman had authorization to transport the firearm given to him by the CFO just for that occasion.
Tory saying that Toronto has a gun problem and that the only ones with guns should be the police and a few others. The rest should just roll over and die, being the implication. He hasn’t been able to come to grips with the gangbangers in the city, indeed has limited the police response in cracking down on the gansta’s. The man is a complete and utter ass, always has been.
I’m sure they will blame the Gun Lobby for this or the 2nd Amendment like most all liberal idiots do David Hogg did and he is still a idiot along with all his idiot pals who took part in the March for our Lives and the Die in at the store Liberals are always finding other to blame because Liberals are Stupid
Heartwarming! I get to see Toronto news on Fox at 4:30 AM. /S
FWIW at this point, Fox reports police aren’t ruling out terrorism.
Heartwarming? How are you any better than the shooter?
According to some media reports, the mass-shooter is white. Could be terrorism, but most likely it is a nutter. I would rule out drug-fueled street-gang violence. I agree with the anti-crime hard-liners here, but I am just saying.
All we know about the shooter at this point is that he was 29.
The corpse of a white OD victim of about that age may yet be presented to the credulous public—after the mud-coloured corpse of the real killer is incinerated and the ashes disposed of.
Can we agree these killers are all nutters and go from there to their so-called reasons?
Awk! My morning post was wrong. The nutter perp is Faisal Hassain, so this IS a terrorist attack. Sorry about that. I was taken in by the corporate media.
We the north
https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2018/07/23/ccla-urges-toronto-city-hall-to-delay-purchase-of-gunshot-location-technology.html
The nutjob who just blew his wad probably wouldn’t be stopped by this technology. Will it help police respond quicker? From the sounds of it (pun intended) they wouldn’t have put a microphone in this area of the The Big Stink anyway.
Shot spotter doesn’t work well.
Too many false alarms and missed gunshots.
It is making millions for its inventors though.
Just another day in the big city.
My thoughts also.
You persons living in big cities should get used to, and accept the fact that terrorists acts, foreign and homegrown will happen.
Mayor London England, Mr Corn Hole-
Anyway……
How can this be called a foreign terrorist’s attack in Canada ?
I thought your PM Traduce welcomed any immigrant that came across the border as honest, productive and a citizen of your country?
Is it just me or has the information on the van attack in Toronto just sort of ‘fallen off the radar’?
It has, some have forgotten about it.
If this is part of the diversity the Liberals talk about we better get used to it.
The authorities cannot do a damned thing to stop it without making it a police state.
It’s fine to say the perp was white, that tells us nothing. We have elements among us living the good life here and radicalizing people of all shades. We have crazies among us. The law enforcers are after the fact when it comes to people blowing their minds on drugs of all sorts as well.
More and more are coming in illegally…irregulars sounds better but means the same thing. We know nothing about them.
We are now living in a very unsafe world everywhere, when you leave your family to go anywhere, work or to dinner or the cinema, tell them you love them. We are not safe or immune in Canada any more.
“We are now living in a very unsafe world everywhere, … We are not safe or immune in Canada any more.”
There’s never been a safer time to be a kid in America

Maybe so but…
http://www.wvel.com/2018/07/06/wvel-news-scope-now-chicago-children-shootings/
You’ve now convinced me that you never bother to even READ what you post … as in this article discusses child MORTALITY rates … and has nothing to do with violent, random, death by unhinged (dark-skinned) shooters. Yes, children are more safe today … because their mommies forbid them from climbing trees … oh and yeah … because children no longer DIE from diseases like polio … because of vaccines.
You, sir, are a blithering IDIOT … who is deflecting the TRUTH about terrorist acts.
The press got to name and shame a white man and his family, and spend a few happy days rubbing the noses of every Canadian in the mess. They’re happy. You’ll hear no more about it till his sentencing.
This new killer has not yet been identified, most likely because he doesn’t fit the narrative that white men are the cause of all the world’s problems.
The “van attack” is mentioned in the above article as having happened almost exactly 3 months past.
Yet it doesn’t appear to have anything to do with this shooting.
Gang violence. Immigrant overflow. Shootings. John Tory.
Shrug. Isn’t Trawna just getting what it voted for?
butt Jamie, Tory Gory is such a good god kristian…AKA bludy libtard
Trying to catch up to Chicago.
http://www.wvel.com/2018/07/06/wvel-news-scope-now-chicago-children-shootings/
“More than 60 children aged 15 or younger have been shot in The Windy City this year.”
N-words and Muslims make all societies way mo better wherever on Earth they go. Toronto needs more of this not less..
My condolences to the families and friends of the victims. But one wonders, do they feel consoled that their loved ones weren’t racists? Or do they wish that the victims had been wearing bulletproof vests?
My sympathy to the victims, however, handguns are exceedingly hard to obtain legally in Toronto. What went wrong? No ‘Gun Free Zone’ signs?
Thank God Canada has no 2nd Amendment … or 1st Amendment for that matter. If you had a 1st Amendment … then the police and the reporters might actually be inclined to describe the racial makeup of the dead shooter lying in the morgue. Right in front of their faces.
They still haven’t released the shooters name and I would guess that’s because the ink hasn’t dried on his new “fit the narrative” of the liberal government identification papers
I decided to venture into watching CP24 and they’re reading all kinds of tweets from famous people and athletes – they all feel really bummed and their hearts are going out all over the place. So, like, relax, we’re in full readiness for candlelight mood.
“Please don’t draw any conclusions, please wait for the police to do their job,” he said.
Please be patient until it is whitewashed away.
What conclusions? What white van driver? What religion of peace? Justin is there to offer his shoulder to cry on. Time to sleep now until then. Don’t be racist against Islam you racists.
Blame Justin and his Liberal policies
We cannot place enough emphasis on this statement. Justupid must be held totally responsible for these murders.
Do you remember the emergency police presence in downtown Toronto 7-10 days ago?
Yes, I do.
Has anyone asked where a guy with “mental health issues” learned to shoot yet? Guys with a mental illness diagnosis can’t even touch a gun in this country. Can’t go to the range, can’t buy ammunition, can’t take lessons.
Probably an Incel, right?
Since there was no Reader Tips last evening, the following link is on topic here.
FUREY: Decay sparks farewell to downtown Toronto living
And those are just the challenges unique to living as close as we do to the curious ecosystem that is the Moss Park neighbourhood. Families throughout the core grapple with a whole range of more mundane issues like tiny living spaces and avoiding showdowns with motorists, dog walkers and – as Mike Strobel called them – “bicycultists.”

“Toronto Mayor John Tory said guns were too accessible in his city.
“We have a gun problem in that guns are readily available to too many people,”
In plain English: bend over, hunters and other legal gun owners.
And White Vans, if we follow Tory’s logic. Remember Yonge Street?
Tory wonders why anyone would want or need a gun in Toronto. Er, John, to kill people?
“Tory wonders why anyone would want or need a gun in Toronto. Er, John, to kill people?”
Here at the Institute of the Blatantly Obvious, we’ve just completed our analysis.
It would appear that if you’re a criminal involved in violent drug gang activities, it makes perfect sense to obtain firearms to protect yourself and enforce your “best business practices” with regard to competition and recalcitrant associates. The fact that these handguns and the violent drug gang activities they are used for are illegal, is, um, a very, very big part of why you’re a criminal.
With me so far, Mr Mayor?
And of course, let’s not forget that firearms are a good choice for lunatic personal vendettas and terrorist acts too. But that said, rental vans, kitchen knives and fertilizer will do in a pinch.
Remember a few years ago when Toronto decided to seize all firearms from anyone over 70 years of age? There was some outrage by the CFA, but the story quietly died, as any story does if it portrays the left in an unflattering light.
But I always wondered how many guns were stolen from lawful owners, what become of said guns, and IF anyone was ever financially compensated for the loss of their property to the government.
First, they came for our cars … because we’re too old to drive
then
They came for our guns … because we might choose suicide in lieu of chemotherapy
With city declaring Toronto to be a sanctuary city that welcomes illegals and criminals, why is everyone surprised at these tragedies
I dentity of the 29 year old shooter is not known. How do they know he is 29 years old?
We now have a new style of journalism from the You Guess It Press. They only report the shooters age.
I know the area and once ate dinner outside on one of those patio- restaurants in Greektown on Danforth. My relative lived on Logan, it is a nice looking area with older well maintained homes. Many families have lived there for years. They must be in shock today. So sorry to hear about this.
Increasingly, all reporting of urban shootings seems to be boiling down to a variation on a standard theme:
“A person shot another person in (Ottawa, Toronto, whatever). No details have been released by police. Mayor So-and-so issues statement saying we should not jump to hasty conclusions and (Ottawa, Toronto, whatever) is still the safest place to live and visit in Canada.”
Probably got the info from his driver’s licence, but the rest was unreadable.
Very good point, Skeptical, and one our MSM should be asking. Hourly. Unless they already know, and are joining in the Dome of Silence approach. Would not want to give verbal ammunition to the Unenlightened.
As with the driver responsible for the Humboldt accident, they (police & media) may just choose to withhold the identity until public reaction has died down…. would not want anything to undermine the “diversity is our stwength” mantra…
Once everybody has moved on, and emotions are not running high, the name will be on the second from the back page of a few newspapers.
As you said, if they know he is 29, they bloody well have a positive ID. And they have had it since the incident.
Must be a member of one of our Protected Groups.
Let me guess, John Tory is ‘deeply disturbed’ by the shootings, Justin Trudeau ‘is saddened for the victims and their families but knows that Toronto is resiliant’. As soon as it is off the front page and risk as minimized, time to keep rolling with our globalization agenda and remake Canada in the liberal image.
Another of Justin’s favourites is “I cannot imagine . . . ” spoken with great gravitas, such as when he could not imagine the fright of the hijab girl.
http://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBKYvPY.img?h=416&w=799&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=f&l=f
The police marked the spent casings with coffee cups. I guess they ate all the donuts.
But, according to leftists mass shootings only happen in the USA because NRA!
Voting Liberal has negative consequences. Can you say Sanctuary Sheet-Hole? For sure all his particulars would have been released immediately if he was White, or Christian, or a non-Liberal voter.
next big headline: “pm ponysocksturd announces new gun control legislation”
Yeah, they will make handguns super duper illegal to possess without a license. Maybe make murder illegal too……..oh, wait.
Fuck gun control. You’re either armed, or you’re prey.
If someone starts shooting back at this dude the event is over in 5 seconds, he’d be running.
We are told our law enforcers are well prepared to deal with such incidents…well yes, but that’s after the carnage is done.
We need more laws with teeth to get the perpetrators before they act. I’m sick of hearing the phrase, “the shooter was known to police”, which is of no value either, he’s free until he commits the crime, after innocent people are killed and injured.
We are not in good hands with the governments we have, they are compounding the problem with political correctness and stupidity across the board.
I’m also sick of all the hearts being sent out by the politicians,it’s become a figure of speech, they can show some guts and keep their hearts.
My favorite part of politicians responding to a tragedy is when they claim their “thoughts and prayers” are with the victims, though they rarely think and never pray.
As if they would even know what a prayer is — and in JT’s case a “thought” . . . or serious thought anyway.
Thoughts come from the head out, you know that 🙂
Well, ther you have it Don. Their thoughts and prayers are with the victims, if only they had any. Nicely observed.
And let me add that … two CHILDREN … were murdered. If this was a story about immigrant “children” … that would include 18yo GIRLS … as immigrant “children”. But now … in order to make a terrorist act sound … well … less heinous … there was one 10yo girl murdered … and … an 18yo “adult” murdered. This is how the Press participates in the leftist narrative … minimizing the true cost of the immigrant invasion.
NYT reporting police have executed search warrant on his residence yet there’s been no release of his identity to the public. This looks like there could be more individuals Connected to the shooter whereas in the past with lone wolf events the identities and social media backgrounds are out within hours. The public should remain vigilant. Don’t forget a CN tower threat last week or so. That item
disappeared:
My guess is that his name will turn out to be Mohamed bin S’hutin … “a lone wolf” … “mental health issues” … “seemed like such a quiet nice guy” … “Canadian women wouldn’t date him so he erupted in a justifiable rage” … “thoughts and prayers, flowers and teddy bears” … “diversity, strength.”
Put the phrases into a Cuisinart Word Blender and out pops the Mayor’s and cops’ usual press release that we’ve heard numerous times before.
You forgot … “was a devout young man”.
You nailed it Davers6
You nailed it – Faisal Hussein, suffering from extremely bad mental issues, according to his family. And the CBC…
Obviously, Captain, but then, that would apply to any Muslim…..
ISIS is responsible for many coordinated attacked around the world on the 22nd (https://clarionproject.org/dozens-killed-in-weekend-of-nightmare-terror-attacks/) This guy is also dressed all in black — anybody might be, but it also could be an ISIS signal. The secrecy around the identity of this guy suggests terrorism to me. They probably want to scrub his Facebook before giving his name. Any online postings might counter the “mentally ill” story they are undoubtedly concocting. I wan’t going to jump in with speculation, but not revealing the identity many hours after the incident suggests a cover-up of some sort. Maybe the fellow is one of Justin’s ISIS returnees whose experience can help us deal with terrorism.
I think those people shot (and still alive, as well as the families of the dead) should have a right to know who did this to them.
Without “conditions” … and not next year.
https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/man-with-knife-stopped-as-he-tried-to-attack-ceremonial-guard-on-parliament-hill/ar-BBL0nv0
Wingnut in Ottawa. Should have shot him.
Hmm. No name there either. You can bet that is the last we will hear about that one.
*cousins…
‘The SIU has said the suspect is a 29-year-old man from Toronto, but the organization’s spokesperson, Monica Hudon, said his identity isn’t being released at this time.
When reporters asked Hudon why, she said a post-mortem is scheduled for Tuesday. and that it’s against SIU policy to release the man’s name without notifying his family.’
What a giant insult. Whoever made that decision should be made to swim in a deep pool of liquid shyte.
Heard one report the bastard was known to police. We have a right to know the name of anyone who murders innocent people in our streets, there should be no rules against that.
Apparently it’s a name shared by Obomber – Hussein.
“Why does anyone in this city need to have a gun at all?” he said in a Monday morning address to city council. “I know answering questions like this won’t fully eliminate tragedies like this, but even if we can prevent one of these incidents, then in my view it is a discussion worth having and having very soon.”
As noted by others earlier, that’s John Tory the fascist being quoted. This man is unfit to hold public office. Of course in a country where groups increasingly undermine, dismiss or trample individual rights and liberties, maybe not. When the Lowest Common Denominator is increasingly dictating the standards and norms, look the phuck out. Retards, crazies, criminals, failures and fanatics are just that.
I can think of a few valid reasons why a dead guy’s identity would not be released. The lack of positive identification is one. Another one would be if the release of the name would somehow jeopardize the investigation.
But I can’t see either applying in this instance. They have obtained a search warrant for the suspect’s residence – so positive ID has obviously occurred. And since all the circumstances of the shootings, replete with video footage of the suspect and his car, have been out there for the better part of a day, it would be difficult to contend that the release of his name would jeopardize the investigation.
However, there is a protocol in place that stipulates that whenever there is a police shooting of a suspect, SIU becomes the lead investigating unit. And it would be hard to imagine a more politically-charged, arse-covering agency than the SIU. Yup….away, WAY worse than any large police force.
So sit and wait.

i dunno about sitting and waiting… the
cbc wasn’t afraid to go out on a limb…
Curiously, CBC has broken with their usual ironclad policy
of never indicating race or ethnicity of shooters…
“He described the suspect as a white male, who was
dressed in all black. Police have yet to provide a suspect
description.”
oopsy.

A taste of the future that’s in store for us
https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2018/07/22/canada-to-resettle-dozens-of-white-helmets-and-their-families-from-syria.html
These “white hats” were John McStain boys, play actors in the various fake chemical attack farces.
Toronto police say 16 people were shot in total, including the shooter who has been identified — by the province’s Special Investigations Unit — as 29-year-old Faisal Hussain.
Young Faizal’s family has released a statement claiming their son was crazier than a shithouse rat. No kidding, eh!
They are blaming the doctors for his condition. Again, no kidding, eh!
*
“their son was crazier than a sh*thouse rat.”
so how did he get past the rcmp background checks?
something smells here.
*
“The slain woman has been identified as Reese Fallon, of Toronto, by Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, who represents a nearby area. Fallon was associated with a young Liberals group in the area. She graduated from Malvern Collegiate Institute in Toronto last month.”
In other words, a person unknown (who may or may not have been the crazy Muslim currently being blamed) shot dead the sometime underage mistress of a federal Liberal MP.
This was a botched hitjob, wasn’t it?
Comments related to the video and witnesses suggest Hussain seemed very expert as a shooter. Also, it would be good to know where the gun came from. These points call into question the “mentally ill” explanation.
“Our son had severe mental health challenges, struggling with psychosis and depression his entire life. The interventions of professionals were unsuccessful. ”
Wow.
https://gellerreport.com/2018/07/toronto-jihadi-faisel-hussain.html/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook
You have to wonder how CBC ‘obtained’ the statement from the family. Did they reach out to them, perhaps tipped off by SIU. offer assistance in crafting the story and angle of ‘severe mental health challenges’ ? Perhaps we as taxpayers also fund this in Trudeau’s Canada?
The CBC is part of the Canadian swamp.
just as CNN and the Washington Post obtained information directly from the democrat swamp ( to try and keep Trump from being elected ) , because they are part of that swamp, our CBC obtains information directly from the Liberal swamp of Canada, for various reasons, this time it was to help spin this terror attack into something else.
that is why they managed to contact the family of the terrorist before the name was released, the CBC is part of the Canadian Swamp.
that way they had time to train the family, to make them learn and rehearse their lines, you know stuff like ; ” our son suffered from depression “
Increasingly sounds like the guy was a Canadian-born kid with mental health issues, not some terrorist wannabe. Tragic for all parties concerned, including the shooter’s family.
I think I speak for all honest firearms owners and retailers when I say this: if the authorities are actually serious about meaningful firearms control in this country, and not just about putting on a show to glean votes from urbanites, they need to find out who sold this guy a restricted firearm and ammunition, and put them in jail. And the same for anyone else up the food chain. Even if (heaven forbid), the firearm used came from the USA through the Akwasasne indian reservation (as they all do). I won’t hold my breath though.
I am not sure why you would conclude that he was a Canadian “kid” with mental health issues. Signs point to his being a practiced shooter. We need to know more about him and things he has been involved in. I would take the family statement with a grain of salt. Of course they will have taken down any Facebook evidence that he might be involved with ISIS.

There is no way the family’s statement wasn’t written by a lawyer. No way! Makes the entire explanation suspect, but I expect the politically correct atmosphere so prevalent in Toronto won’t take it any farther.
