“That said, I have to wonder why a non-threat was reacted to with near hysteria by the TDSB and investigated while death threats to Tarek Fatah do not merit consideration by the TPS?” asked Lemaire. “To my mind this was simply an effort by the TDSB to intimidate me into silence and is plainly an abuse of power. It won’t work, but I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that an organization that holds up psychopaths such as Che Guevara and the Black Panthers as role models for children would resort to such thuggery.”
Thanks for spreading the news!
He’s on AM 640 right now!
Caller “Bob” said that the cops were right to investigate “threats of burning down the TDSB.” Arnie countered with “the what about that song ‘Burning Down The House;’ you want the band arrested?”
I keep saying that the Palestinians need to direct their missiles at the UN instead of Israel. After all they created the mess in the first place.
I guess Interpol will be at my door this afternoon????
And I’ve posted Alice Cooper’s School’s Out at my blog 🙂
Kathy, given the heavy hints yesterday I was wondering if you’d gotten SWATed by TDSB, looks like I was partly right. At least they didn’t sent the jackboot squad to toss your place.
This kinda thing is why I blog and comment as The Phantom. Its too much trouble for some mid-level apparatchik to dig me out of my bunker just for making them look bad. Likewise, on the ridiculous end of the spectrum, this is why Jason “Truffles the Hobbit” Cherniak doesn’t blog under his own name anymore.
This puts your post about childless couples kind of in the spotlight, eh? Constantly being exposed as a dumb@ss was wrecking little Truffles’ career. Having the cops show up on my doorstep would be a big problem for The Phantom.
For you and Arnie its an opportunity to kick somebody in the @$$ really hard. Its not every day an opponent like TDSB hands you an opening like that. Which is good, because these creeps are clearly not playing by the rules
Hope you at least get to make some money out of this Kathy. Sticking up for everybody else is getting to be a dangerous occupation.
Burning school houses.

“I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that an organization that holds up psychopaths such as Che Guevara and the Black Panthers as role models for children would resort to such thuggery.”
Good comeback and so true. With a school board like this no wonder the kids in Toronto are so messed up. They are building future anarchists, not productive citizens.
Thank you Toronto for continuing to amuse the rest of Canada ranging from your childish displays from any person or organization such as your alleged “School Board” to any of the idiots who continue their anti-Ford vendettas. It’s remarkable how effectively your stupidity continues to be exhibited by your simple (and I do mean simple) day-to-day actions.
For the sake of providing relief from the daily trials and tribulations of the normal news, please keep up the bad work.
Oh, you see – I told you so: threats do work.
Threaten early, threaten often, threaten anonymously and hide the tracks and you will have a chance of achieving results. Not threatening is a failed conservative policy to paraphrase the blog owner.
Has anybody at the TDSB seen the burning school house Victoria Day fireworks novelty?
I went to a small public school during the 70’s in Brantford Ontario that had a fight song.
It was great fun to sing with everybody else at the beginning and end of every assembly. The dynamo kindergarden teacher (Mrs Rock) would stand at the piano and we’d all belt out the words at the top of our lungs after the Lords Prayer, God Save The Queen and Oh Canada, usually twice at the end before we’d be dismissed, and sometimes marching and singing it as we filed out.
We will fight fight fight with all our might.
Until this old school is one for all and all for one.
The all time yell for P.E.S.
We’ll fight for Princess Elizabeth
Fight Fight.
Good Times and even the kindergartners shouting it out after the assembly we had to witness Team Canada and Paul Henderson kick commie ass on the one and only TV set on a stand in the auditorium knew fighting wasn’t allowed and that it was only a figure of speech meant to inspire.
Fire these idiotic TDSB morons.
Further into the WTF department, here’s the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation Logo.

Using the TDSB logic i.e children using veggies to shove up their backsides is actually a “Threat to do so”?
Thugs and dimwits like the TDSB think in criminal terms and are unable to distinguish the subtleties of language and innuendo, which is really ironic as they are setting the learning policies and direction. Shows how incredibly out of touch and myopic they are. But, the real question is whether the new Socialist Ontario Premier will step up to the table and have something to say in this matter?….Hundred Che t-shirts says we hear nothing more than crickets!!!
Always great to see the underbelly of the serpent exposed as to how vulnerable and sensitive they really are.
Free Arnie! Living with Five Feet is punishment enough. Seriously, this is nothing but a waste of taxpayer dollars on an “investigation”, but, dollars to donuts I’m sure that this will escalate to one of those humane rights kangaroo courts. TDSB and their leftoid ilk know how to play the system.
Using the police for purposes of selective political intimidation of those citizens who dare to question the policy of a school board foreshadows more to come if it is not resisted.
Ontario isn’t the only place these things happen. A friend of mine in Saskatchewan had his house surrounded by a SWAT team. It’s due to a similar complaint by an education bureaucrat. The only reason they didn’t execute the raid was he was able to talk his way out of it by referring to his stellar record when he served in the RCMP.
Note- anyone who has complied with the Canadian Firearms Act and obtained a firearms possession license has registered them self as a sitting duck in for these people. There is a $100.00 yr insurance policy to pay for legal expenses available.
It indicates the apparatchniks read George Orwell’s “1984” and then adopted it as a policy manual. If it’s a blog war they want, it’s a blog war they’ll get!
…
The TDSB exemplifies the “zero-tolerance” mind at work. Zero tolerance relieves its practitioners from the burden of intelligent thought. They can operate on auto-pilot where smug justifications for asinine actions are part of the programmed response. Zero tolerance zombies simply cannot process literary devices such as sarcasm or irony and do not understand exaggerating to make a point.
TDSB should stick to what they know, the three “R”‘S:
-rectal sex for adults (over 12 years of age)
-re-installation of condoms on bananas for grades 2-3
-revolution; pay for no work (The victim role).
Of OISE & Premieress Wynne.
…-
“In that one aspect they have been uniquely successful and even more so now that Kathleen Wynne, the new Premier of Ontario, appointed by the Liberal Party elite, is a product of OISE racism.
OISE racism is practiced by idiots and is fueled with the pompous sanctimony common to fanatics who think they have a right to suppress any speech or thought that does not conform to their notion of a “better world.”
OISE racism has been in place in Ontario’s schools for some time now. It was promoted by outgoing Premier Dalton McGuinty’s Education Minister Laurel Broten. It was infused in Toronto’s schools through the plagiarizing OISE grad, disgraced former Toronto District School Board Education Director, Chris Spence.”

Toronto has a problem.
The “Police Service” is hugely “overpersonned”
by very expensive hires at almost every level.
Just like the rest of the city government.
Death to those who insult Allan or Old Sam! Stone(and not in the good way) Adult Tourers! Better my kids should be dead than gray. When will these lightly VEILED threats be considered, you know, threats? Burning down the house. Indeed.
C’mon, these must be meaningless threats, the Toronto School Board wouldn’t have anything as patriarchal as a building, think of the carbon footprint — they must surely meet on a bike path somewhere?
The police should be able to read something and understand what a figure of speech is. They do seem to hire cops without senses of humour but, really, how stupid do these guys have to be?
I’m surprised the cops didn’t ask if you had any firearms,then check to see if they were properly stored.
Next time.
Scar said: “The police should be able to read something and understand what a figure of speech is.”
This is an interesting thing.
Cops do what they’re told. They got told to go hassle Arnie and Kathy, so they went. Kathleen Wynne is the premier of Ontario right now, so if somebody from OISE or the TDSB calls the cops, all astute senior cops will be able read between the lines. Friends of Kathleen get priority unless instructed otherwise. So they get the call, which is clearly complete BS, and they send two detectives. Who know its BS.
Who tell Arnie and Kathy which disgusting apparatchik made the call. Because they don’t like getting sent on BS calls. Something they didn’t have to do, but -can- do if they like. Discretion.
Payback comes around in interesting ways. But its always a beeotch.
I imagine calling Arnie’s raison d’etre a “clearly tame blog” must have stung a little.
&
“when certain words or terms are used in relation to schools or the board, they are flagged — as per protocol — to the Toronto Police Service without exception to determine if there is any threat that would require further investigation.”
Sounds reasonable to me; checking to see who you are dealing with. We live in an age of overweening security, after all.
Speaking of bullshit stuff, Hamilton On. restaurant “Hillbilly Heaven” has displayed the Stars & Bars on the front of their restaurant. Local Association against “Racism” has just called the cops and want the owner to be charged with a hate crime.
There’s no end to this shit.
“He said police told him the complaint came from TDSB spokesman Shari Schwartz-Maltz and he would like a direct answer from her on why?”
The TDSB is listening

Down at Dipper Depot
where socialists conspire
to take away from others
by raising taxes higher
Like the squirrel and the grasshopper
It’s easier to wait
And leave the heavy lifting
While jealously they hate
The squirrels who so consistently
Earn comforts from their labour
And spend their winters peacefully
The envy of their neighbour
Down at Dipper Depot
The Union boys determine
To manipulate the voters
And rob those wealthy vermin
And down at Dipper Depot
Our country’s hordes of takers
Plan and Plot to steal the lot
Provided by the makers
But our country gives to no one
Unless it first must take
The earnings of the others
The bread that others bake
You cannot multiply the wealth
By constantly dividing
Nor tax the makers painfully
For the jobs they are providing
But down at Dipper Depot
With fists raised in the air
They cry “power to the people”
But it’s union power there
When half the people have ideas
The other half will feed them
And that half then realize
The others plan to bleed them
Like mortal souls they take their goals to havens more productive
Where risk and work is recognized
And reward much more conductive
But down at Dipper Depot
The story is the same
It’s always someone else’s fault
It’s always them to blame
It was the comment which was referred to as “sarcastic but clearly tame”, dizzy.
Oh come on…give these poor cops a break. The knew that this lame complaint would lead to at least two days of relaxing work to conduct the interview and write a humourless government report to appease their masters.
And be two days closer to pension without an injury.
Is there any chance Toronto will slide into Lake Ontario? Please????
I wonder what the TDSB would think of the elementary school song we used to sing to piss off teachers. Only lines I recall now are:
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the burning of the school
We have tortured all the teachers and have broken every rule
Sung to Battle Hymn of the Republic. Maybe it can become popular again after 50 some years of obscurity.
Like Phantom, I post under a pseudonym since I don’t deal well with the Gestapo coming to my door. Under no circumstances would I let them into the house. I think that a lawsuit is in order. Now if I were a sneaky bastard, an anonymous 911 call regarding an armed hostage situation at the house of the school board complainant would be one of the potential things one could do in retaliation. However, I tend to be a direct kind of guy and so a face to face conversation with the moonbat in which I’d give them my views on what I think of totalitarian scum who can’t understand a figure of speech. I’m sure this approach would result in the police being called again as such moonbat weenies collapse into a catatonic state at the slightest suggestion that someone would be prepared to given them some reality therapy with their fists.
The cops are in the process of being corrupted through “sensitivity training”.
Back in the 1960s, the radicals referred to cops as “pigs”. But since their goal was the establishment of a police state, they realized they would need some “pigs” of their own to do their dirty work. In recent decades they have used “sensitivity training” to co-opt the regular rank and file cops.
I’m glad the officers sent round to BCF acted professionally. Not all the cops have been completely corrupted yet. Note also that racist attitudes among police are a legitimate possible concern; they should not be tolerated.
OISE should be cut off from tax dollars, and a voucher system instituted to replace public education, which is a cult (the dreck from OISE about “racism” and “whiteness”, etc., proves it).
Glory, glory hallelujsh,
Rumour says Miss Scott will do ya,
So will Mr Loomis and the girls of 13-D
Just drop yer pants and see.
Sic the TDSB on the Simpsons.

Um, six weeks later? How come six weeks?
Six weeks ago Kathleen Wynne wasn’t the Premier of Ontario. Now she is.
Hmmm …

Thanks. My mistake. As for whether it applies to his blog, I wouldn’t know. I was banned from there years ago.
