FURTHER UPDATE FROM ED., added at 1808. Guess what? Another victim walked into a nearby hospital about the time I was writing the first update! That makes 12 shootings, 15 wounded, still no fatalities.
YET ANOTHER UPDATE FROM ED., added 6/8/19, 0520. Checking the mojo wire by the dawn's early light, CBC reports two more shootings, two more injured, bringing the totals for Toronto's Caribbean Carnival weekend to 14 shootings, 17 injured. "Police have not released any information on possible suspects" in any of the incidents.
This is a screen grab from CTV's Toronto flagship's website, this afternoon. One of Walt's agents, who was born in Toronto and lived there for some years but now avoids it like the plague [black plague? Ed.] says Chief Saunders is badly in need of a reality check. 11 shooting incidents, with 13 people wounded (but none killed -- poor shots!) is indeed Toronto... or, at least, Toronto on the weekend of the Caribbean Carnival.
Said Carnival is billed as "the largest cultural event of its kind in North America". What culture do you suppose they're talking about? Why, errr, Caribbean culture, mon! The 11 shooting incidents mentined above are only those that were reported, as millions (literally) of the people of colour who have contributed so much to Canada swarmed the streets in a hyuge jump-up. Diversity reigned! Numerous "Jamaican salutes" were fired. The debris is still being cleaned up as this is written.
Perhaps the problem, for Chief Saunders (who is a human of colour) is that he doesn't like to admit that the perps as well as the victims were, to a person, black. At least that's what one may conclude from viewing the bits of video that are being shown on CTV. But Chief Saunders' persons are "not releasing any suspect information." That's because the only applicable adjective would be "black", and a description like "black male, spoke with a Jamaican accent" would fit tens of thousands of revellers.
Hundreds of said revellers were celebrating de end of carnival at a "packed" nightclub in Toronto's northwest ghetto when someone starting shooting, injuring five or seven, depending on which channel you're watching. The Toronto Police "Service" is appealing to any witnesses to come forward, but so far no-one has done so. Chances of someone snitching on a bro? Slim and none!
I would hope Toronto voters would remember this weekend during the upcoming election campaign, every time Just In Trudeau or his Minister of Refugees and Immigration (seriously, that's his title!) says "Diversity is our strength!" But I'm betting the other way.
