I had begun to stop worrying about spies and terrorists, but in the shadows of the courtyard the merchant drew me close and told me something else about his life: "We have Canadian passports. If it gets bad with Iraq, Iran, I can make a living anywhere."

Here's a radical concept: Maybe parents should check their kids' knapsacks for guns, knives, baseball bats and brass knuckles before the little darlings leave for school in the morning.

1 dead, 8 hurt in weekend violence
A night of violence on Toronto’s streets has left one man dead, four others shot and four more stabbed in separate incidents.
Someone I respect told me that Royson James of The Toronto Star is a really nice guy and I believe that he has a nice personality. In terms of what he writes, however, he is a misleader of our local community. This fellow is so biased that he tends to obscure the truth, willfully. Take his column today in which he tries to equate Jeremiah Wright and Martin Luther King.
King's rhetoric and mission strongly offended the people of his time, black and white. If YouTube were around in the 1960s it is a sure bet that King would have been branded, like Obama's pastor Jeremiah Wright, a hate monger.
It's true that King opposed the war in Vietnam and criticized American foreign policy. But that's not surprising; he was a follower of Mohandas Gandhi, a pacifist. And, for the same reason, when it came to racial politics, he was an outstanding exponent of equality and harmony.
After Patricia Wynter's first-born son was shot to death in 2001, she and 17 others who lost sons to violence formed an organization called UMOVE, which stands for United Mothers Opposing Violence Everywhere. ....But on Sunday, Wynter's world was once again rocked by gun violence when her only surviving son, Karim Rashid Ata-Ayi, 29, was shot and killed in broad daylight in Regent Park. ...
Ata-Ayi is someone police consider to have engaged in a "criminal, high-risk lifestyle." ... Ata-Ayi is the city's 82nd victim of the year. In 1991, Toronto had 89 homicides, the highest number the city has ever recorded..
Chad Wynter, 25, was slain March 3, 2001
