Our media is reporting 4 people shot at a sporting celebration in Canada yesterday.
This forum is utterly silent on the issue.

I posted about this in the Toronto Raptors NBA thread.
Yet it got very little attention or discussion.
Are some Canadians here in denial?

I don't live in Toronto, people in Canada, and Ontario in particular are aware that many of that city's homocides. Guns are the weapon used.

Imagine if Toronto had lost the 7th game
Just wait until Kawhi leaves. Lulz.
Still the response from Canadians is perplexingly mute.
Did this happen in Toronto? I live in BC, I could give 2 shits what happens in Ontario.
I believe so.
I have no clue what BC is in relation to Ontario.

At a celebration rally for the Raptors in Toronto.
Yet our Canuck cousins here have nothing to say on the matter?

What can we say. TO has a lot of armed ethnic gangs.
Was it a gang related shooting?
Quote from: "Bricktop"
Toronto Police is being tight lipped about it. I don't think it was random though.
Gangs from Africa here use machetes.
I'd rather face a gun thanks. I want to die quick.

So they should... otherwise you compromise future court sittings.
Americans deliberating ruin impending court cases with their large mouths and runaway type.
Jeez, Brickwang...why don't you suit up and put on a red and blue cape, book a flight to Toronto and restore order?
Not sure why you're so surprised at the lack of interest by Canadian posters. They often seem to wait for more info before they get hysterical about stuff.

I don't know what he wants us to say. I live 4000 kms from the scene of the crime.

Now, I understand that four people being shot is just another day in paradise for an American, but in the civilised world it is something of a concern.
Four people being shot at a celebration of sporting triumph is rather tragic.
But perhaps you're right. I thought Canadians were a little more concerned about gun violence, but it seems they're mimicking their neighbours.

It is a big deal. The police quickly made arrests and now two people are in custody. What more can we say.
How about "we need to tighten our controls on gun ownership"?

Canada already has some of the toughest gun laws in the world, it more strict than New Zealand

It's quite easy to take a course and own firearms, especially non restricted rifles.

Exactly.
But even with an Rpal license I don't think you can buy military style semi automatics like NZ

There are a lot of privately owned rifles in Canada.
Were rifles used?
Or was it handguns?
Who are the suspects and why did they shoot four people?
Strangely quiet on these issues.

There was a mass shooting in Toronto with an obvious Islamic motive that the police in that city tried to hide. I wonder why they are keeping quiet about this shooting.
As to that: One year later and they still can't figure out a motive for why a Pakistani Muslim in Toronto shot 15 innocent no-islamics, killing two of them
[The fact that he deliberately avoided non whites and went after whites alone (even with witnesses as to his saying that during shooting) has no meaning in today's law enforcement]
SUDDEN JIHAD SYNDROME? One year later and they still can't figure out a motive for why a Pakistani Muslim in Toronto shot 15 innocent people, killing two of them
Yet, we continue to hear idiotic statement like this from officials: 'We may never know why': Danforth shooter fascinated by death, but motive still unclear."
CBC (last week) FAISAL HUSSAIN, the sudden jihadist shooter
Toronto police Chief Mark Saunders said Friday that investigators don't know the motive for the Danforth shooting that happened nearly a year ago.
Even after a nearly year-long probe into Faisal Hussain's shooting spree on a bustling stretch of Danforth Avenue, investigators said they were unable to pinpoint a motive for the 29-year-old who killed himself after the shooting spree on July 22, 2018.
Hussain had no criminal record, there was no evidence he had been radicalized, and police found no affiliation with hate or terror groups, Chief Mark Saunders said at a news conference Friday.
He was such a nice guy and all.
"The one question the family and the public wanted to know is why," Chief Mark Saunders said as he detailed the findings of the probe. "Although we collected all of the evidence that was available to us for this crime, a crime where the shooter died at the scene, we may never know the answer to why."
Hussain killed 10-year-old Julianna Kozis and 18-year-old Reese Fallon and injured 13 others in the shooting. Of the 15 victims shot in the rampage, eight were female. The surviving thirteen victims range in age from 17 to 59 years old
CTV News (last week) - A teacher and a former classmate of the man who shot 15 people on a busy Toronto street on Sunday say he made disturbing comments that once prompted a call to police.
Faisal Hussain's teacher at Victoria Park Collegiate says the school called the police nine years ago after a conversation he had with Hussain in class. "I asked him, 'What do you want to do? Like what do you want to do with your life?'" the teacher told CTV Toronto. "And (Hussain) said 'I want to kill someone.'"
The teacher, who wishes to remain anonymous, says he was stunned by Hussain's comment, and asked him, "'Why, what did they do to you?'" He says Hussain responded, "No, I just want to kill somebody ... I think it would be cool."
When in doubt, blame the gun the shooter used.

Finally someone gets the point of the post.

Yes but you have to have a valid reason to have one, self defence is not a valid reason, then if you join a gun range then you have to have certificates to transport it to the gun range and have to have it unloaded and have a trigger lock to store it, also RCMP can search your property at any time to check on you, draconian huh

He took the course and applied like every other legal handgun owner in Canada.

Just follow the rules, and they are easy to obtain.
Too easy.
What weapon was used in the Toronto shooting?

What weapon was used in the Toronto shooting?
The islamic "it would be really cool to kill someone" Danforth killer of whites only while walking and choosing victims along a 2 block stretch of Danforth?
Smith & Wesson M&P .40-caliber semi-automatic pistol illegally imported from the US.

:ohmy:
They were very large capacity magazines.
Hussain's brother was also connected to the seizure of more than 30 guns in Pickering last year, according to the same source.
Bad as it was, it could have been a huge slaughter with an automatic (easy to modify) AK
his brother was not in a condition to arm him further at that point so he went with the pistol - As I recall, the brother was being kept alive in a vegetative state ... on the public's dime of course
So, who did the shooting in Toronto last week and why?
Quote from: "Bricktop"
I don't know. But, cc does a good job of digging at stories the cops don't want us knowing.
It's a rather strange silence.
Quote from: "Bricktop"
At first, I wasn't thinking conspiracy.Now I aint so sure.
Why else would a lid have been put on this incident???
