Black Lives Matter in Toronto the Good

No, Virginia, Black Lives Matter/BLM is not just an American "thing", or even a "Black thing". The leftist-directed and leftist-funded "protests" following the death of George Floyd (see "Featured Post") has spread across the World's Longest Quasi-Undefended Border to several cities in Canuckistan, notably Toronto, where Whites are the beleaguered minority.

From what was known a century ago as "Toronto the Good" [because you couldn't get a drink there. Ed.] comes news of a "peaceful protest" this past weekend in which statues of the founder of Ryerson University (instrumental in planning residential schools for aboriginal children), Sir John Eh Macdonald (same, and anti-French too) and King Edward VII (symbol of colonism) were painted pink, to call attention to the usual laundry list of grievances.

A Black Lives Matter - Toronto news release says the statues were "artistically disrupted" in "support of demands to defund the police, invest in communities and create emergency safety services that do not harm Black and Indigenous people." Rodney Diverlus, co-founder of the group in Toronto, said people (about 40, judging from the videos) had come out for an "art-based demonstration," whose aim, he said, was to make a point about racism and police violence. He added that Anyone angered by the defacing of public monuments was misguided.

Toronto cops, apparently among the "misguided", charged three people, none of whom are visibly Black, with three counts of mischief under $5000 and conspiracy to commit a summary offence. "We understand we respect the right to protest, but in this incident, where we have statues and monuments that have been vandalized and defaced, the appropriate charges have been laid in this case," Constable Alex Li (not Black, but not white either) told the CP24 news channel.

Today, Agent 3, who vacations in Canada almost every summer, has sent us word of another story involving Toronto's finest and Black people. On the afternoon of July 10th, the cops were called to a shopping centre in Scarberia (eastern Toronto) a report of shots fired in the parking lot. Upon arrival at the scene, officers located a 26-year-old male victim suffering from a single gunshot wound to his abdomen. He was taken from the scene to hospital via emergency run but was pronounced dead two days later. He was later identified as Toronto resident Jordon Marcelle, whose Black Life apparently didn't Matter much to his killers.

And here's a composite photo, issed by Toronto police today, of the 21-year-old woman who has been arrested and a 26-year-old man who is wanted for murder in connection with the death of Jordon Marcelle.

Neither the woman, Tristawna Ona Christian, nor the man, Shaquille Jameel Taesean Small, is a cop. Neither is white. It's just another black-on-black murder, something that happens about once a week in Toronto the Good. Will there be justice for Jordon Marcelle? Will a judge and jury find that Black Lives Matter? Stay tune... but don't hold your breath.
