I have said it so many times black people have no power at all in Canada. If this was someone who said a derogatory term about Jewish people Muslims homosexualies he’d be ran out

Yeah. Canada loves to speak on ~diversity yet every group is extremely anti-black.

Most black people live in the hood and good luck trying to climb out of the sinkhole that is poverty.

Yeah, OSAP is decent but whats the point if getting a job out of university is incredibly difficult/ borderline impossible?

Majority of black people work as servers or do menial labor.

Every non black POC group is thriving ( there is stats on their quality of living) but not much has improved for black Canadians.

We truly are the permanent underclass.

This is from 2018

Black residents, for example, are 9 per cent of the population but make up 13 per cent of residents of low-income neighbourhoods.


High-income neighbourhoods are almost a reverse image. They make up 23 per cent of Toronto’s census tracts, with average individual incomes of $102,000 before tax. Fully 73 per cent of residents in these neighbourhoods are white, far higher than their share of the city’s population. The rest are visible minorities, of whom only 3 per cent are Black

ive teens were wounded in a shooting in northwest Toronto on Wednesday evening, Toronto police say.

The victims, two girls and three boys, range in age from 16 to 18. The girls are 16 and 17 and the boys are between the ages of 16 and 18.

Their injuries range from serious to critical, Toronto paramedics say.

Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders told reporters near the scene that the shooting happened in a hallway in an apartment complex in the area of Clearview Heights and Tretheway Drive, near Black Creek Drive. Police were called to the scene at about 7:30 p.m.

When officers arrived at the apartment complex, they found two victims in the hallway. Then they found two more victims, he said.

Toronto paramedics took all four to hospital, three by emergency runs.

A fifth victim showed up in hospital later.

Saunders said police believe a black sedan arrived in the area and three males got out, went into the building through a side door, then went up to the hallway. Two of the men opened fire. The three are believed to be in their teens to their early twenties.

The police chief said he believes the shooting was a "targeted attack."

"This is a very solvable case," Saunders said. "There's no need for this to happen."

Saunders said the shooters are believed to have fled in a vehicle eastbound on Clearview Heights towards Tretheway.

He said they were wearing dark coloured clothing and hoodies.

What mess did harper leave?

FALSE
Rob ford was a major driving force of even expanding transit in the city. Harper was ten times the prime minister trudeau ever was which is why he was prime minister for ten years.

Housing policies failed in ontario under mcguinty and wynne
