How much you wanna bet at least 2of the 3 involved men of colour?
Just saying.:wink:
My goodness , law bidding citizens playing shoot up in TO :wink: . We need another law to make it illegal to shoot someone with a gun . That will work eh.
The shooting at Niagara/Bathurst (near the former future site of a new Wal-Mart) was particularly dangerous. It spilled out into the street. Innocent civilians could have been injured or killed. For example, a Beck taxi was badly shot up.
These shootings are almost always targeted and done in confined areas but sometimes they do spread out into the broader public like Yonge Street, Eaton Centre, etc.

It is rare for murders to happen in Canada, its not as crazy as in the US.
Below are the stats for Toronto and you will see, they are significantly low, when compared to any US City with significant population (let alone any Major City).
2016 it seems would be an interesting year, only because its only January and we have already obtained 60% of our homicide count for Toronto.
I fear, unemployment might increase these numbers

Let's leave colour out of this.
It would appear that there is some gang related issue happening, not related to all of the shootings, but a few anyways, it always goes down like this, tit for tat. One would hope that our new PM would not look towards wasting taxpayers money with another long gun registry, when criminals are using hand guns in the commission of these crimes, but instead get tough on crime and those that use weapons in the commission of such. Also, strengthen the CBSA, with better tools and more people to search for the illegal guns coming into the country from the US.

Toronto (and Canada as a whole) is still a very low crime place to live. With 5-6 million living in the GTA and half of those in Toronto, having crime will happen.
Thankfully, I live in the burbs. Most hardcore crime, gang stuff, club scuffles, and all that lovely Jane/Finch area shenanigans are all in Toronto.
