Yeah... me neither.
A man shot to death during a dinnertime “gun battle” in Toronto's east Chinatown Thursday is believed to have been an innocent bystander, the second to be killed in the city by gunfire in a week.So, Mayor Miller... exactly what sort of legislation... is gonna stop cold-blooded killers from staging a shootout on a busy city street in broad daylight?
Police arrived at the Fu Yao Supermarket on Gerrard Street East near Broadview Avenue about 6:10 p.m. after witnesses reported seeing two men shooting at one another nearby.
How about we chuck these assholes in jail... and maybe don't let them out after a token vacation at Club Fed? This isn't about rehab anymore... it's about self-preservation.
Or is that just too harsh and conservative for your Polkaroo socialist brain to comprehend?

Methadone in champagne flutes? Apparently junkies already get door to door service.
The Toronto Public Health needle exchange program has three vans on the road and each one has a personalized vanity licence plate, angering some councillors who view it as a waste of taxpayers' money.*
"It's ridiculous," Councillor Rob Ford said. "The vanity plates are another example of a complete waste of taxpayers' money.
Why are we paying for people's home delivery of needles anyways? It's absurd and appalling, if you ask me."
