Toronto Politicians: Deny, Ignore, Delay

Whenever a problem arises in Canada, an age-old trick to avoid doing anything is to just mouth the words “We don’t need American style solutions” to any & all proposed solutions. All discussion then comes to a screeching halt.
This technique has most frequently been used whenever the topic of Improving Canada’s Healthcare arises but now it’s being used to keep the Guardian Angels out of Toronto. Curtis Sliwa discusses the issue with Roy Green (@ 30:30 in the podcast).

  1. Most people know that the problem is our immifration system that creates these Ethnic/racial Enclave ghattos where the Entitlement for welfare and housing becomes a disease of ungreatfullness to spit on the Tax payers and show contempt for canada Cops.
    If I wanted to live in Kingston jamaica I’d move there, I don’t want Jamaica mo ving to canada where we accept the baby-momma’s and weekly murders .
    When Miller gave the Label of “At Risk” neighbourhoods, it was Whirtey-Speak for negro’s
    and Refugee muslims. Miller’s white-Answer was to throw basket balls at dem negros to trick them to put down the guns and fallow the Bouncy-ball.
    McGuinty is just another Liberal-Whitey that is glad the jamaicans aren’t in his welathy/white/smug/eleite Neighbourhood and killing his Whitey buddies that also hope dem negros dunt comes to r streets.
    I sick of the racism of Lowered-expectations by the Elite-whites that solve the Balck crime by rewarding the baby-mammas with more money to have more babies from more transient males.
    Toronto is a Welfare town like detriots has become, but McLiar is too stupid to see it as Alberta keeps bailing him out of his election promises.

  2. First of all, I thought that Canadians, and other nations in the Western Hemisphere, believed they are Americans too.
    Second, this reminds me of the Arab phrase, “Insha’Allah” meaning “If God Wills it.”
    The phrase is an assurance that God will not Will it.
    In the United Nations, the age-old phrase for doing nothing is “we remain seized of the matter.”
    In NATO or the OECD, the phrase for doing nothing is, “Let’s have the French take the lead on this.”

  3. Why shouldn’t there be Guardian Angels? The police are under no obligation to protect anyone and it is illegal to be armed. Edmonton has had Guardian Angels for some years but must have trouble recruiting. There are better hobbies than wondering around downtown at night where all the crazy people that used to be in the loony bin now live.

  4. I’d welcome the GA but TO really has barely any crime to fight. Council is stupid and Ford is dumb to not say anything. How can the city ‘block’ the GA from doing stuff?

  5. They can’t let the Guardian Angels in because:
    #1. In about two weeks the Angels would be able to point out the poison areas of Toronto(99% of it) created by multi-cultism.
    #2. This would point out the screw-ups of Canada’s modern Gestapo,the OPP/RCMP/city cops.
    #3. By pointing out #’s 1 and 2,they would expose the ineptitude of cops/judicial system/politicians in protecting law abiding citizens.
    #4. It would then be revealed that in #1,they do this mostly by illegal guns,which,surprise,surprise,are not registered or legally obtained,again pointing out the uselessness of cops/judicial system/politicians.
    #5. The Angels would then point out to #2 that # 1 and #4 is happening,and they must help fight it.
    #6. The Gestapo would then appeal to their masters,the Justice system,that,hey,the Angels are picking on us and are racist by pointing out some cultures are less advanced then others.
    #7. The Justice system would then declare that the Angels must be outlawed as a racist society for suggesting that some cultures which created #1 are less advanced then them,and #2 shall incarcerate them at once as threats to #1.
    Final outcome is #1 can thrive,since their overall idiots,the politicians and Justice system,are protecting them against those who would expose their corrupt ways,including the ways of #2, the Justice system, and politicians.
    Wait.I take back my 1st assertion that they can’t allow the Angels in.The Angels may prove the best way that the corrupt political and judicial systems the Angels are against, use the Angels themselves to show the useless,unthinking,stupid, Canadian populace just how racist they and the Angels are.
    Sorry for channeling a leftard thinking.

  6. Did he mean “we don’t need 30-year-old American style solutions”? Pretty sure the current American solution to this problem is shall issue laws.

  7. Keep them out, Toronto will go down the drain faster. More leftist solutions, faster please…

  8. @fiddle
    “Keep them out, Toronto will go down the drain faster. More leftist solutions, faster please…”
    YES!
    Leftards are impervious to reason.
    Support Toronto’s suicidal urges.
    Every drug dealer, illegal gun, welfare case, and gang member that Toronto attracts, is one that is NOT in the rest of the country.
    Support the Left.
    Victory is when every Leftist in the country is cowering in fear of what he’s created.
    As Toronto descends into chaos, surrounded by the crime, squalor, stench and din of urban life, you will hear them plaintively bleating their mantra: “diversity is our greatest strength”, as the lights flicker out.

  9. Born in Toronto, Moved out a long time ago. Will never go back. Its a shitehole. deserves whatever it gets. Look at Detroit, and there is the future for hog town.

  10. Every city in the country is always talking about how diversity makes us stronger. There are two kinds of diversity. The first being the diversity that comes with allowing the right people in the country. The people who come from Europe come to this country to succeed and make a better life for their children. The second group be they Muslims, Jamacians come to free load of the government. I am sure there are lots of these people and good immigrants. All of Toronto’s crime is in the sub/divisions where these people set up enclaves and commit crime and terrorize the good people.
    Once I was in Las Vegas and I spoke to 2 while persons from South Africa. They love their country but the crime is so rampart everyone is armed and their houses look like fortresses. I asked them why dont you move to Canada and their reply was that their friends, jobs and love of their country was the reason. I said to them ” you dont leave your country for yourself, you leave for your childrens’ future”. South Africa’s crime wave is crazy and more and more people are leaving. We will take all the South Africans we can and you see they are coming by the number of doctors in our country.
    Back to diversity. If some of these people open a restaurant in these crime neighbour, city officials call that diversity. I can buy jerk chicken anywhere. I don’t see to many white people in Scarboro on a friday night sitting in these restaurant eating…..
    Diversity is mingling with other cultures but accepting the status quo culture of the country to which you moved. I never here a Pole, Ukrainian, Brit talk about diversity when they move to Canada. They are more into making a life for themselves and their families, not going to the government for more social programs which is another word for welfare.
    So please will all level of governments stop saying this bogus word – DIVERSITY.

  11. Several years ago amid the continually growing Winnipeg crime problems, some citizens in Winnipeg suggested the volunteer Guardian Angels and ask them to set up a program. The Winnipeg Chief of Police, Mayor of Winnipeg, and provincial politicians at the time were against this and made several excuses why not to do this. Guess public safety is supported insofar as they maintain all 100% total control, and the crime situation grows out of control.
    So it was decided in response, several years ago, by the City of Winnipeg to ask the Winnipeg Downtown Biz association, where downtown business owners are asked (forced through invoices, assessments) to contribute funds (their money) to sponsor the Winnipeg Downtown Biz association (and the growing staff of 13). They then set up the volunteer “Watch Ambassadors” for “Community Outreach Patrols” program to address safety issues, a type of community organizer approach but complete with a more “holistic” approach to deal with prevention, (self) harm reduction, and the deal with the root causes of crime (need more sports programs, rehabilitation, make better lifestyle choices, social assistance, etc, etc).
    http://www.downtownwinnipegbiz.com/home/safety/safety_initiatives/
    The Winnipeg Downtown Business association “Downtown Watch” safety program is complete with volunteer ambassadors. When contacted that this seems very similar to the American Guardian Angels program, the director, and various spokespeople for the Winnipeg Downtown Biz association deny the similarities. They sure seem the same – same red/black colours, same report crime mandate, same radio communications to police; but more focus about helping the people breaking Winnipeg city bylaws and past criminal records, and have baseball caps not berets.

    Check out the Downtown Watch brochure , sponsored (partly / mostly ? paid for) by Manitoba Hydro. This was done to address the safety concerns of Manitoba Hydro (many female) employees working downtown in the new almost $300 Million head office building.

    All this did not stop Air Canada from reassigning their flight crews accommodation from downtown Winnipeg hotels to ones by the airport due to safety concerns.

  12. When Silvia started GA in Calgary the officials Hated it!
    It shamed them into action and suddenly the cops began doing their damn jobs.
    It’s the Batman effect.

  13. “Crime in Toronto has been relatively low for a very long period of time; the low crime rate in Toronto has resulted in the city having a reputation as one of the safest large cities in North America. Recent data from Statistics Canada shows that crime has been falling steadily in Toronto’s census metropolitan area since 1998, a total drop of 33% for all crimes reported between the period of 1998–2008.[1]
    For comparisons to various cities in North America, in 2007 for example, the homicide rate for the city of Toronto was 3.3 per 100,000 people, yet for Detroit (33.8), Atlanta (19.7), Chicago (15.5), San Francisco (13.6), Boston (10.3) and New York City (6.3) it was higher, while it was only marginally lower in Vancouver (3.1), San Jose (2.9) and Montreal (2.6).”

    “For the third year in a row, Saskatoon ranked No. 2 behind Regina among Canada’s major centres in Statistics Canada’s 2011 crime severity index, which accounts for the seriousness of crimes committed.
    “As has been the case since 1998, Regina took top spot among major cities in the annual index, which is based on police-reported crime.”

  14. The issue of gun violence won’t become “real” to toronto’s stupid left-leaning council until it migrates to Forest Hill, Rosedale and the Bridle Path. Then things may change.
    Of course immigration is a key contributor to this issue, and sticking collective leftoid heads in the sand won’t address it. Allow unfettered immigration from countries with generational violence issues, and with immigrants who won’t assimilate to the country, and house them in segregated ghettoes: what’s to go right with that?
    And all the basketball nets in the city aren’t fixing this problem. Political correctness is today’s “barbarians at the gate”; only we’re doing this to ourselves.
