So guilty

You’d have to be an idiot to not think Jakobek is as guilty as sin.

TOM JAKOBEK has some explaining to do. The former city budget chief swore in an affidavit he used money from his millionaire father-in-law, not MFP salesman Dash Domi, to pay off $21,000 in American Express bills.

Thing is, I wonder if police will ever lay formal charges against him.

DP for kids

I’m against the DP for kids – it’s stories like the latter that make the world worry about Iran and its nuke intentions.

Amnesty International today (24 August 2004) expressed its outrage at the reported execution of a girl believed to be 16 years old for “acts incompatible with chastity”. Ateqeh Rajabi was reportedly publicly hanged on a street in the city centre of Neka, northern Iran, on 15 August 2004.

Banish the pits

Since we can’t ban the owners, we’re going to have to ban the breed.  If not everywhere, then in the city.

Blood stains marked a laneway and parking lot, and a mattress splattered in blood was propped up behind an apartment building yesterday afternoon, hours after a pit bull attack sent a 25-year-old man to hospital with extensive leg, back and arm wounds.

Scrap it

Yet another call to scrap the useless registry.

THERE’S ONE more lesson to be learned from this week’s hostage-taking at Union Station, and it concerns the dismal failure of the federal gun registry.

Danger ahead

Female Muslims aren’t the only ones worried about a parallel Sharia system in Ontario – Jonas is too.

Imagine Stubby’s or the Calabrian godfather’s verdict enforced by the sheriff’s office. That’s sharia in Ontario as envisaged by its proponents. No wonder feminists worry. I’m hardly a feminist, but I worry myself.

McGuinty for Sharia

Like I’ve said before, political correctness will be the end of Canada as we know it.

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS aside, it’s incredible and outrageous that Premier Dalton McGuinty is apparently willing to have Sharia law resolve domestic disputes in Ontario’s Muslim community.

Good shot!

The Toronto Police Force is doing very good work lately

A gunman was shot dead by a police sniper and his female hostage freed after a rush-hour standoff outside of Union Station on Front St. this morning.

The question all you Liberal voters need to ask, again, is, was the gunman’s gun registered?

Boy, capital punishment can be very efficient.

US relations with a broken Canada

Mark says the USA could work with a broken up Canada.  I often wonder what this country will be like in 50 years.

What did you make of that poll showing 40% of Canadian teens regard America as “evil”? A little statistical oversampling of various Khadr nephews and nieces in southern Ontario perhaps?

How can you not like him?

More proof dumping Fantino was more a left wing snub than anything else.

Uniform police officers, including Chief Fantino, were alerted by the public to this man’s behaviour.

When the officers went to arrest him, a struggle ensued and he fled. He was caught after a short foot pursuit and began to struggle with the officers. Members of the public joined in and assisted in subduing the man.

Front St. extension

It’s a miracle anything gets done around Toronto, what with all the levels of government bureaucracy and interference.  Take this story, for example.

Twenty years ago, local politicians decided to build a road to relieve downtown traffic congestion.
