-- TORONTO -- Shots rang out on King at Portland Street around 2:30 a.m. Thursday after a fight erupted inside the Loki Lounge. The fight spilled out onto the sidewalk where one man, said to be 19 or 20 years old, was shot in the head. A second man, said to be around 23 years old, was shot in the back.**********
The younger victim remains in critical condition in hospital. The other victim is expected to survive.
No arrests have been made and police haven’t released a suspect description.
Police told CTV News that 22-year-old Anthony Smith died of his injuries just after noon.
The video raises significant questions in the wake of reports that the Department of Homeland Security, headed by Janet Napolitano, recently purchased around 2,700 MRAP trucks that many believe are to be deployed to local law enforcement agencies around the country.Look up... look way up...
It is clear that the DHS does have fleets of armoured vehicles intended for use in the US.
Such stark activity with little to no background detail has prompted several Congressmen to ask the federal government for an explanation.

Nisan Nirmalendran, 21, died in hospital after he was shot late Thursday at the entrance to a public-housing seniors’ residence on Bleecker Street near Carlton and Sherbourne streets, just west of Cabbagetown.
Video footage from the scene shows that when the gunfire erupted at around 11:20 p.m., an elderly resident of the building was going inside. As a plate-glass door panel in the vestibule was blown out, Mr. Nirmalendran, who was known to police, appeared to have been using the woman as a shield as he swivelled, trying to dodge the gunman.And for all you "crime is down" folks...
The homicide is Toronto’s 13th so far this year, and the sixth gun death. This time last year, the total stood at 10.Have a nice weekend Toronto.
The federal government announced last October that it would not be renewing contracts for part-time chaplains, the court document says.Oh Canada.

"Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a retired Canadian Forces member also questioned the decision to apply the test equally to all men and women regardless of age, wondering how the military can increase the number of women in the forces while prescribing a test that is measurably more challenging for women and older men."Of course, if the goal is to add up the politically correct ledger...
The leadership hopeful has among the worst records for missing votes and has come under fire for skipping his responsibilities and ignoring his constituents to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars moonlighting as a "professional speaker."But, but, but... isn't he dreamy?
In this session of Parliament, only three MPs have a worse voting record than Trudeau who has missed 221 votes, or about 64%.
"He was campaigning for the leadership moron."Well, I guess that's one word for it...
"Some of his speaking clients, like the Ontario Public Service Employees Union, paid him $20,000 for one speech in 2010. It's illegal for unions (and corporations) to give a dime to Trudeau's political campaign. They just gave it to him personally, and called it a 'speaking fee'."The heir transparent.

"The four suspects, who were partially masked and all hooded, fled the scene in a blue four-door 2006 Toyota, licence plate number ARKC 719.

On Dec, 17, 2010, Papatie drank for 24 hours straight; local kids found his half-naked body in the snow, his neck and chest devoured by stray dogs.
Lise Bastien, head of the First Nation Education Council, said she's not surprised no one tried to help Papatie that night.
"Locals said that Papatie was drunk that night like he often was," she said. "It's very sad, but in poor areas, violence is normalized because we have been living it for several generations."

A total of 640 assaults were recorded in 2012, with 424 of them being alcohol related, according to statistics from the Kativik Regional Police Force.""Disproportionate", huh? When a journalist uses that word in what is otherwise a politically correct puff piece, that, for me anyway, raises a red flag.

"Something aboard a Frontier Airlines flight across the Rocky Mountain West caught the attention of federal investigators last week. Perhaps it was the passengers banging on the ceiling, walls and floor of the cabin, or maybe how most of the passengers were out of their seats, jumping up and down."How is this considered acceptable behaviour on a plane in flight? My understanding is the flight attendants make people turn off their cellphones.
