MEANWHILE BACK AT THE RANCH:

TORONTO – Toronto police have issued a warrant for the arrest of a 22-year-old man in the fatal shooting of two men associated with the local rap scene. Investigators are looking for help in the search for Abdulkadir Handule in the shooting near the corner of Queen Street West and Spadina Avenue.

Police say a second suspect in the June 30 shooting is charged with one count of attempted murder. He can’t be named because he is a minor.

Police have secured a judge’s approval to identify Keyshawn Jones of Toronto, a 16-year-old who is one of two suspects in a shooting in the city’s Entertainment District over the Canada Day long weekend, that left two men dead and a woman seriously wounded. He is sought for two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder.

Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen provided a briefing to members of the African-Canadian community at a Toronto barbecue establishment that court documents have identified it as a known hangout for members of the notorious Nigerian-based Black Axe criminal syndicate.

A sister restaurant in Ottawa was closed in 2016 after four gang-related shootings outside its doors over a three-year period. Ottawa police said there had been more than 100 calls to the Nigerian barbecue establishment.

Curiously... the Globe fails to mention that one of those shootings was a murder.

Press secretary Mathieu Genest said the minister would avoid going to the restaurant if he is invited again.

Alberta Health Services says 55 people have potentially been exposed to a confirmed case of tuberculosis in the province's south. The agency says the infected person works at a food-processing plant, although the transmission of the infection is not related to the food processed there.

Oh, look... there's another link in this article...

Calgary's tuberculosis clinic is facing a surge in demand as the number of active cases in the city has increased by 42 per cent since 2010. MacDonald says the increase in TB rates is due, in large part, to an influx of immigrants and refugees from high-risk countries.

Or, to be a little more precise, immigrants and refugees from high-risk countries who are apparently not being medically pre-screened because... RACISM?!

When Mrs Neo applied for a student job at a fast food place in the seventies, she had to submit a chest x-ray to prove she didn't have tuberculosis.

Apparently standards have slipped somewhat since then.

I miss actual journalism

Here are two actual Toronto media headlines...

• "Music brand manager fatally shot on Queen Street West was 'impossible to not like,' family says" •

• "Woman killed in Woodbridge shooting was 'a magnetic burning presence'" •

These headlines contain not a single verifiable fact. They are not even the opinion of a majority of people who knew these two individuals. It's what a grieving parent would say after being poked and prodded during the worst week of their life. Obviously, in the first example, there was at least one person who found it possible to dislike this "music brand manager"... to the point of shooting him down in the street. That's an undeniable fact... unlike the catchall, nonsensical job description.

What has happened here is that some enterprising "professional" journalist has managed to trade on two families unfathomable grief and root out a couple of emotional quotes. I have no idea what a "magnetic burning presence" is... and if you're being honest, neither do you.

What this is... is exploitation. And all of you who mindlessly suck this shit up are part of the problem. This isn't, as newspapers have been trumpeting these last few days, about "aspiring musical genius" cut down in the flower of youth. In both cases it's about violent criminal gangs who snuff out human lives as casually as small boys squashing ants. No one here was randomly targeted, although the woman with Mr Commisso appears to have been, to the shooters, acceptable collateral damage (which serves only to underline their callous and savage mindset).

As long as people are willing to sup this thin gruel and not ask actual questions and push for real answers, it will happen again and again. You want to live in a Jerry Springer world? It's right there every day in front of you.

Or, you can choose a higher standard.

A long term study by the University of NSW — one of the world’s longest in-depth community studies on pharmaceutical opioids and non-cancer pain — has found little evidence to support the use of cannabis in the treatment of chronic pain.

The four-year study of more than 1,500 Australians prescribed opioids for non-cancer pain suggest that there is a need for caution in using medicinal cannabis.

Those in the study who used cannabis, and there were many among those with chronic non-cancer pain who had been prescribed opioids, actually had greater pain, anxiety and were coping less.

Given Toronto's latest orgy of gang violence, will Ontario be delivering "Tru-dope" in armoured cars to authorised outlets? Seems we could be looking at a new wild west here.
