Here's a true crime story from Toronto, the most multicultural city in Canada...maybe in all of North America. Since the time of Trudeau the Father (not to be confused with the Son, who now walks among us), successive Canadian governments have swung wide the gates to the promised land, the Great Not-so-white-anymore North. Every year, Canada admits over 250,000 "newcomers" -- over 7% of its population -- as immigrants, refugee and asylum-seekers. The majority of the newcomers are vizmins -- the poor, the wretched, the huddled masses -- most of whom settle in Toronto and Vancouver, where they'll feel right at home.
You might think that there would be a lot of racial tension a city like Toronto, where white folks are in the minority. You would be correct, but you wouldn't have your suspicions confirmed by the lamestream media, particularly the Toronto Star and the local CTV outlet, which pointedly refrain from mentioning the race or ethnicity or immigration status in their coverage of the stabbings, shootings, robberies, rapes and suchlike daily occurrences in the wannabe world-class city.
Which brings us to the story of yesterday's killing of a student at North Albion Collegiate (a high school in the very dark northwest corner of Toronto) by another student. One student was stabbed to death by another. That was the extent of first reports in the local media. Of course viewers/readers knew immediately that the persons involved wouldn't be whites of European descent. When the bingo-callers on CTV said police were looking for a young male suspect, people immediately jumped to the conclusion that the word "black" had been omitted from the script. And it was so.
Unusually, though, the victim wasn't black. He was, in fact, a refugee from Afghanistan, 19-year-old Hamid Aminzada, who had been studying ESL at the school. He should have taken some classes in "social studies" too. If he had done so, or otherwise acquired the "street smarts" necessary to survival in multicultural Toronto, he would have learned that it's unwise to jump into the middle of a knife fight between two black guys!
Police said Mr. Aminzada had intervened in an argument between two other students and was stabbed multiple times. A spokesthingy told the media, "The victim was trying to defuse a situation between two other individuals... and it turned very, very tragic." Ignoring the poor grammar, the cop's statement was right on the money.
Last night, a 17-year-old boy turned himself in to police, accompanied by his lawyer (paid for by legal aid, of course) and was charged with second-degree murder. He made a brief court appearance this morning. Because he is a poor misguided juvenile [delinquent? Ed.] his name cannot be revealed. Because of political correctness, his race -- black -- won't be mentioned either.
But Walt's readers in Toronto need not be alarmed. This is not the first battle in a racial conflict between (just sayin') African-Canadians and Muslims. The chairperson of the Toronto District School Board described it as nothing more than "yet another isolated incident".
