TORONTO - Councillor Norm Kelly urged the media Friday not to use the word “Scarborough” when describing Monday’s mass shooting.The world is getting to be too slippery a place for yours truly. Or maybe I'm just getting old.
Kelly sent out a press release to news outlets Friday asking them to call the fatal shooting the “Danzig shooting” rather than the “Scarborough shooting”.
Two people died and 23 others were injured in Monday’s shooting at a block party on Danzig St. in Scarborough.
Does anybody else remember a time when people went on welfare? Now apparently, they've morphed into "clients"... who accept (the implication being that it has been foisted upon them) "social assistance."
There are no more prisons. They've been replaced with "correctional facilities." How long you figure it'll take to "correct" what's wrong with Paul Bernardo?
Even the Toronto police chief is getting in on the act...
"Blair said, 'an altercation broke out among some individuals and there was an exchange of gunfire'."Yeah, a little altercation & exchange that put 23 people in the emergency room and two others on the slab at the morgue.
What's with all the make-believe? Does anybody actually believe that they're making anything better by obfuscating the facts?
