Mayor Tory calls for tightened gun controls.

I'm pretty sure if those stats looked at the last 20 years and were weighted for population growth (e.g. homicides per capita), they would tell a different story.

add in the equation that the statistics jumped when he became mayor after the Ford nation

Excellent letter by Sheldon. Let's hope John Tory and Toronto Council actually read it. Because they're so deep into Liberal/leftist dogma,though,I wouldn't hold my breathe. Thanks for posting,Moe.

Exactly Trimmer.
Extremely well written letter, Moe!

The best post I seen on this so far is distraction politics. He is using this story to deflect what he is really doing with toll lanes on DVP. Classic liberal move, create distraction for the people, change the channel, fire up gunnies, fire up the media machine. Once this is done...carry on plan to toll the roads in background.

Classic Liberal ploy

Gee I must of missed the announcement where he switched parties, what one is he in now. Using his own words , not yours. LOL. Just looked up an extensive history of Tory, and he has always been a Pro. Con. his entire political life, and I could find no evidence he has switched parties. Yes he is one of 'yours'.

All of this is nothing but politics back scratching. Tory has been sucked in by the idiots on Toronto council and is spending what he doesn't have. Wynne is in major trouble so will give Tory anything for his support and Toronto votes. Even Trudough is amassing all kinds of failures and needs something to change the channel although he has 3 more years to borrow money from our children.

Too bad the jerk didn't stay gone. Now,the voters sent him back and you can rest well assured,he'll be pulling strings behind the scenes,but,trying to keep his pathetic a** out of the spotlight.

He switched parties when he won Toronto's mayoralty campaign. His purse strings are controlled by the liberal/left and he knows it,both provincially and federally,so,if he wants any money,he better be a good little Liberal.........or else.

So he is a former Pro. Con. Leader of Ont. who ran numerous time under the P.C. banner who can switch his allegiance at will, but still remain a card carrying member of the P.C. party, how messed, underhanded, backstabbing, is that?

Much as i hate to agree with commiefish Tory has only ever been a member of the PC party. Regardless of who he cozies up to or how sleazy he becomes he has not to my knowledge switched party affiliations. If asked i am fairly certain he would still say he is PC. Unfortunately that will reflect on the PC party whether we like/agree with it or not.

What is needed up there is a 2nd Amendment - then you can protect yourselves - maybe you can borrow Trump once he is done draining the swamp in Washington - he'll straighten things out up there - but you have to make sure that you give him back -

What is needed up here JoePa, is a little less meek submission.

"I was further shocked to learn that there is no limit on the number of firearms any one licensed gun owner can purchase and possess."These guns, while acquired legally, are increasingly turning up in criminal investigations, according to the Tory...

So let's apply the same logic to political donations. I think it would run like this:

The greater the donation, the larger the likelihood that a portion of it came from crime. And the more donations, the greater the likelihood that some of them came from the proceeds of crime. Therefore, let's severely restrict the number and size of political donations.
