The bright, shiny hypocrisy...
...of Mayor "Super Dave" Miller...
As the city is considering amendments to the zoning bylaws to ensure no new gun manufacturing or shooting ranges can set up shop in Toronto, it appears the city still hasn't figured out what to do about the Toronto Sportsmen's Show.Yeah... principles... that's what this is about.
Because the annual event is held at Exhibition Place, a city-owned facility, it would violate the new policy that bans the "promotion of firearms use" on city property.
Deputy Mayor Joe Pantalone, who chairs the Exhibition Place board, said the show will go ahead in March as planned because of an existing contract, and talks are underway to find a solution.
Pantalone pointed out "hunters hall," where weapons are displayed by manufacturers and retailers, does not include handguns, which are at the centre of the city's ban.
He added it's a balancing act, considering the city wants "to honour the principles of the policy."

"The Sportsmen's Show should tell Toronto to stick its venue up its ass, and move to Barrie, or another city that doesn't treat them like 2nd-class citizens."**********

...on which gun club was involved in latest Toronto shooting...
A man was shot dead this evening in the city's west end.And those stabbings... I guess those don't count, huh Dave?
Police were called to Buttonwood Park, near Eglinton Ave. W. and Royal York Rd., at around 10:35 p.m.. When police arrived people in the area said they saw three men flee the scene.
A 16-year-old boy was stabbed nine times in a rumble last night at a bustling downtown intersection.*
He was one of two seriously wounded stabbing victims in the city as darkness fell.

I suspect the Sportsman Show will do just that after this year. Why support a community that holds you in contempt, and blames you for problems caused by others?

the fact is, "his blondeness" is all about publicity and empty gestures.
unfortunately, that's apparently enough to sway the dumbass socialist sheeple.
the tyranny of the mediocre... yet again.

And speaking of dumbass criminals,I just watched update on ctv from the Dion campaign.Bob Fife tells us that while in the Maritimes today,he spoke with a prison guard.The guard tells Bobby,that the prisoners are all putting up big signs in their cells,saying"Vote Liberal"..reason being they are scared of a Cons.majority,and tougher on crime stance of PMSH!
There you are folks...democracy at work in our penitentiaries..thanking the Libs for the hug a thug approach!
@ sammy - but tougher sentences aren't a deterrant right??? Your story seems to go against that "truth".
@ neo : I don't know if you have done a lot of hunting or outdoors stuff, but in regards to the whole "gun culture" Miller seems to be against (because if we target public values it will stop gun crime):
When was the last time you saw a bunch of gangstas in the back 40 with their low rider jeans and pimpwagons out hunting moose?
Its not like Miller doesn't understand our "culture". Its like he hates it.

"langmann says... Its not like Miller doesn't understand our "culture". Its like he hates it."
too true.
but don't forget he also uses it to lather up the lunatic left... to get re-elected

Dependence on government is Mayor Moron's highest priority, the faster he can rid Toronto of businesses that pay people who vote the better. Mayor Moron knows that an independent wage earner is a dangerous thing, a voter who is dependent on government hand outs is much easier to threaten and control at election time. He has learned well from his radical Liberal Party friends.
I have the solution to solve all gang, gun, knife, crime, robberies, rape and whatever in Canada. When PMSH puts in his strong anti-crime bill, and jails all repeat offenders, he should apply this law to all areas of Canada except Toronto. Then all criminals, gangs, guns etc will decend on Toronto to rob, rape, and kill in peace. They can play basketball between crimes. With all criminals from Canada in one place, how much easier will it be to solve all the reasons for crime. How the city will pay for this is not my problem.
They could move all insite clubs to Toronto. All the homeless to Toronto, and their liberal/ndp council could show how they have all the answers. I'd even go for the govt paying to transport these scums to Toronto.
