I don't see the biggotry in the comments so far. What you have is comments that you don't like aimed at the black community.
It's politically incorrect to say it, but the fact of the matter is that a very small percentage of the population is committing a disproportionate percentage of all of the crime.
No-one is saying that all blacks are criminals. Not by any stretch.
Racist, no, politically incorrect, definitely.
Go back to the beginning of this thread, some of these comments are definitely racist and politically incorrect. But I do believe in free speech, thus is why they should remain.
Your link presents statistics that I can not dispute. However, you must keep in mind that racial profiling does exist.

Well then, if that is the case, then the organisers of Caribana should pay for it. They should pay for the security, the set up, the clean up, the organization committees, etc. etc.
Why are my tax dollars being used to fund Caribana?
And before you get all hot at me, I feel the same way about Gay Pride.
I am cool with it all, if you want to have a party, hey, knock yourself out.
But pay for it yourself.
The city has been funding this and every other special interest group for far too long. In case the bozos at City hall haven't figured it out, the City is terminally in debt every year. We can't afford to build a new water treatment plant, but we can afford to fund special interest groups?
This is just plain stupid.
Have your party, no problem, just pay for it.
Dispite that fact that your first link is 8 yrs outdated, your point still holds a little validity. Except that it is not the Caribana Assoc. that makes all this money (300 mil according to your link). The hotels, the stores, the restaurants, vendors, and event rental companys indeed make the money. The Caribana Assoc. does not charge for the parade, they sell T-Shirts, how much money do you think they are making? In fact, when you think about the taxes the gov't makes off $300 million, how do you figure that you are paying for it?

You qualify this nicely by saying, "at the parade"
Every year there is some crazed shooting in the streets, we'll see what happens this year I suppose.
Most likely, something will happen on Yonge St. But I still have much faith in the parade.

I live right in Carabana Central. IT TOTALLY SUCKS!!! About 15 guys have knocked on my door asking if they can sell shit in my front yard! BLA! Just a bunch of noise and garabage to look forward to this weekend!
I would have to agree with you, I hated living near the CNE grounds. The noise from the Molson Indy, CHIN Picnic, the CNE, and any other event held down there drove me crazy. But that is what you choose to deal with when living in this area. Thank God I moved.
