Members of Black Lives Matter - Toronto are rallying outside the province’s Special Investigations Unit in Mississauga to protest the death of a Somali-Canadian man killed in Ottawa last month following a confrontation with police.Hey, not to put too fine a point on it, but wasn't this the guy who was arrested for sexually assaulting a woman? The same guy who fled the scene and resisted arrest?
Earlier this month, Black Lives Matter - Toronto blocked off the busy downtown intersection of Yonge and Dundas streets calling for justice for 37-year-old Abdi. “Abdirahman Abdi was lynched by police officers in front of his home in Ottawa,” said BLM Toronto co-founder Yusra Khogali.
"Police responded to 911 calls reporting Abdi grabbing women’s breasts inside a Hintonburg coffee shop."Funny how those facts rarely make it into any of these news stories.
And Yusra Kogali... where have I heard that name before?
Oh yeah... the Muslim "death threat" lady.It seems CTV has a very selective memory. So much for "professional" journalism.

So, the only thing wrong with Toronto's cabbies is that... they don't speak English, have no concept of customer service or cultural sensitivity, no idea where things actually are and a tendency to crash into stuff.
"According to the release, the Toronto Taxi Alliance program will include an English language assessment and lessons in customer service, cultural sensitivity, road knowledge and defensive driving."And a website for customer complaints is gonna fix all that?
How about hiring reasonable, competent people in the first place?
