Filmed peeing in customer's coffee mug, politico quits election race

Canadians go to the polls on October 19th to elect a new federal government. And not a moment too soon, given the urgent necessity of ending the dictatorship of Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harpoon, now seeking his fourth (4th!) term in office. The number of seats in the new Parliament will be 338, so Steve's (or any other party) needs to win 170 of those to have a majority in the House of Commons.

Mr. Harper's Tories are struggling in the Greater Toronto Area. The Dear Leader himself is campaigning in the eastern part of the city area today. He will be accompanied by two Conservative candidates, but not by Jerry Bance, the candidate for Scarborough Rouge Park, who is withdrew from the race after CBC News aired a spycam video of him peeing in a customer's coffee cup while on a service call.

Former candidate Bance owns XPress Appliance Service, an appliance repair company [Duh! Ed.] in the GTA. He has been a service technician for the last 25 years. In 2012, he was caught in a sting by CBC-TV's Marketplace urinating in a homeowner's coffee mug and dumping the contents into the sink. Do we have the video, Ed.? ... ... Apparently not, but we do have a screen grab.

The original Marketplace show only named Mr. Bance as "Jerry". It did not mention that he had been a Conservative candidate in the previous elections of 2006 and 2008. When contacted by CBC News yesterday, Mr. Bance said, "I deeply regret my actions on that day. I take great pride in my work and the footage from that day does not reflect who I am as a professional or a person."

Walt is resisting stoutly the temptation to indulge in cheap shots of the "Peegate" variety. End of story.

UPDATE: Turns out it wasn't the end of the story, after all. CBC News has just reported that the Tories have been forced to drop a second GTA candidate (Tim Dutaud -- Toronto-Danforth) over embarrassing videos that surfaced on YouTube. No peeing or worse, just prank calls. Agent 3, who is a politics junkie, says it doesn't matter, because the Harperites didn't have a snowball's chance of winning either riding.

Another big block party, this time in Florida

Agent 17 commented on Walt's report of the multiple shootings at a "big black party" in Toronto. (Please note Ed.'s correction at the end of that piece. Of course it should be "big block party".) 17 points out that chaotic and violent "block parties" happen in the USA too. In fact, Jacksonville FL had its own incident last Saturday.

The Florida Times-Union website reports that the North Jacksonville cops -- obviously braver than their Toronto brothers in blue -- broke up a huge "house party" Saturday night. Their fun spoiled, hundreds of young blackish partygoers formed a flash mob and headed for a nearby Walmart Supercenter to get reparations for the injuries done to them by slavery and discimination.

Got some video for you here.


What you missed on the video was the shooting, but apparently that happened at the pre-riot house party. Nobody was killed so it wasn't a big deal. However, the sheriff's office said investigations into both are "active and ongoing," and they are expecting witnesses to come forward to rat [perhaps "rap"? Ed.] on their fellow yoofs. As if...

As for Walmart, their spokesthingy Dianna Gee said, "The actions of these teenagers was deplorable and put at risk the safety of innocent bystanders, staff and customers. We are committed to assisting law enforcement in any way we can to identify the people responsible for the commotion, including acts of vandalism and thefts at the store."

Ms Gee did not explain exactly how "the people responsible" will be identified. Tips from Walt's readers will doubtless be welcome.

Footnote: Would it be racist to observe that the mob seems to have headed straight for the watermelons?

Toronto experiences benefits of immigration and multiculturalism

Not for nothing is Toronto known as the most multicultural city in North America. Maybe the world. Thanks to an influx of millions of third-world asylum-seekers, refugees (bogus and otherwise), and immigrants (some of them legal), Toronto is chock-full of vizmins, all rubbing along together in peace and harmony.

Well, sort of. Toronto does have its ghettos, or as the CBC calls them, "communities". The official term is "priority communities", and if you can convince any level of government that you're dark and violent enough to "need support and nurturing" from your hosts, they'll build basketball courts and community centres for you, and give you money for parades and multiculti events.

Even if you don't get big bucks from the federal or provincial Ministries of Multicult, there's always enough left over from welfare to throw a big block party every now and then. Such as the BBBBQ -- Big Black Barbecue -- in Scarborough last night.

Seems that, as sometimes happens at these things, there was a spot of trouble involving, errr, partygoers. Toll so far: 2 shot dead, 19 injured in the crossfire, and 3 trampled in the crush. Toronto police chief "Old Bill" Blair called it "The worst incident of gun violence … anywhere in North America". Ah yes, Toronto is definitely a world-class city... or at least continent-class!

The Globe and Mail has a slideshow this morning. Have a look and you'll notice the multiracial reality of Toronto. Ah yes, blacks and whites together. But, errr, the white people all seem to be cops. The others are, errr, not cops.

What Walt finds funny -- funny curious, not funny haha -- is that not one of three Toronto papers Walt has checked (so far) makes any mention of the fact that this was a black "community event". The victims are black, the perps are black, everybody's black except the cops.

That's the way it is in "Scarlam". Everyone knows there's a problem with gun violence in Toronto's "black community", but the lamestream media and ultra-PC polilticians absolutely refuse to talk about it.

Meanwhile, the more peaceful folks of Toronto's not-so-black communities must be wondering what they have to do to be safe during this latest summer of the gun. Walt has a suggestion. Move to Detroit!

Message for George Zimmerman: Could you please call Chief Blair. He wants you to come to Toronto as a consultant to the police.

Correction: It has come to our attention that "big black barbecue", as used above, is politically incorrect. The Toronto Star describes it as a "big BLOCK barbecue". So sorry.

Follow-up to "Gorillas in our midst"

Early Sunday morning, 18-year-old Tevon Williams was shot dead outside the site of a birthday party in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough. Mr. Williams was black. A neighbour checking out the crime scene said he vaguely knew the victim, who he said lived with his mother in a nearby condo. He didn't know the whereabouts of the victim's father. Police are looking for the gunmen who may be described as _____ and who may have spoken with ______ accents. You fill in the blanks.

Less than 12 hours later, and in the same part of Toronto, a 20-year-old man was swarmed and killed by up to five other men armed with a hammer and at least one knife. There is no description of the suspects or the victim. Hands up, all those who think those involved were white or Chinese. No-one? Hey? I don't see any hands...
