Why does Toronto Canada allow Gangs at all? We seem to know where they are and what they do,=mostly illegal SO

Gangs are made up of people. As such, the law cannot prevent people from freely associating. It is a democratic right in Canada just as it is in the United States. The law cannot intervene until a crime is actually committed. Canadians are just as upset about crime as the rest of the world and in fact, we have stricter gun laws and less crime per capita than most U.S. cities. I'm not trying to be anti-American, I'm only reacting to some of the comments posted. I want YOU to know that Toronto is doing everything in its power to prevent crime, whether by an individual or a gang. We do not let murderers and rapists off lightly. They are dealt with according to our laws and if they are deemed dangerous offenders, they are in for life, with no chance of parole. Look up the Paul Bernardo case. We have abolished the death penalty only because we don't think it is right to kill to prove that killing is wrong. Also, if it really is a deterrent, then why do so many people continue to murder? Before sending daggers up North, please find out what really goes on.

It should stop any more immigration from THE GREAT ISLAM and send them all back to clear their countries of Fascist bullies. Why are American and European soldiers there and the Islamibads here? Should it not be the other way around. Toronto is sachurated with Muslim "refugees".Sick of it. Was bad enough when we only had Lutherans and Penticostals here.

Bravo Dave....When Mr. Reagon said those immortal words, the whole world respected our government, and what we stood for.  Now-not so much as a "security issue", but as a "political issue" our government wants to secure the Mexico/USA border.  Why has no money be allocated for a Canada/USA border?  Isn't Canada where they recently broke up a terrorists cell?

Drugs are not legal in Mexico even tho there are drugs in mexico. What is really amazing tho is that the same cops that will arrest a person in mexico for illegal drugs is also collecting big money from the ones selling the drugs. Prostitution is not legal either it is only allowed . in other words when the cops want to they can arrest someone for prostitution and when they have better things to do they could careless if they are doing it in the street in an alley some where .  Making drugs legal as in amsterdam would  stop alot of crime and lower everyones taxes since there wouldnt be so many people in jail and there would be less addicts since there wouldnt be such a want to be doing drugs. It would probably break hollywood since all the drug movies would be no big thing any more and then all the drug cartels would be a thing of the past and the drug runners would be out of work  along with  all the hit men and then the gov. wouldnt be making all the billions on the drug money they rake in doing drug busts. THe US is sadly built on crime and the criminal minded and the assurance that there will always be a fresh supply of new people to feed the kitty. Prostitution and drugs is to big of a business to allow it to go legal. Prostitutes and getting high has been around since the begining of time and will never stop this is why it is illegal because it provides constant guarunteed cash coming in for alot of people , the people that make the rules.    Heres proof as to what I am saying about the big guys.   The people of california voted and made marijuana legal but the  big guys said oh hell no we cant have that  we will loose to much money if that happens so even tho the people of california voted yes the federal gov. says no way .   ALl the police departments are given a budget by the big guys and if a police department makes a big big multi billion dollar bust with real estate and the whole 9 yards where does all that cash go.>? sure not to be spent by that police department. It goes to the federal gov. and they still only recieve thier budget. San diego makes billions in drug busts but yet all the cops are leaving the force to go other places because they wont get a raise for the next five years. You see the ones sitting behind a desk in office no way will give up all that cash they get to even share some with the ones who are in reality making it for them and protecting the country.  I say it would make things better but it will never happen.

i personally don't think they do enough to keep drugs off the streets. like where I'm from there are young kids as in 12 and13 yr old that walk the street selling drugs their parents even OK it. i think that our police force sucks and are scared to go into "the hood " and do anything about it. sometimes i feel that they just let most of the big dealers get away with it to keep money into the community. i may be way off base but there is something fishy going on. you get the same offenders out on the street all the time. then lets say they catch some small dealer and tell them hey if you narky on the one higher up you can go free and it wont show up on your record, well of course that's what they are gonna do. then that person will probably be the one to step up and become the big guy. they really need to sit and figure out new ways to get these people off the streets. it is killing our kids, and kids parents. i wish there was something i could do to help. good luck, and GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!1

So, let me get this right, you are implying that police enforcing narcotics laws is "harassment"?  Just by what I have read, you sound as if your a drug dealer.  If you don't like being "harassed" then don't sling dope on the street.

Where drugs are dealt, hookers are hooking, muggers are mugging, and gangs are ganging.\n\nBetter to say something.

Not really its a way to keep people who sneak in ,  out.  Why would we want illegals here ?  To not pay taxes, to add to the crime we have now,  too add to the already over populated areas?  Tell me what positive thing comes out of it at all for the country?  Use your brain or common sense if you have either lol, its a known problem.

No problem at all. Legal immigrants are always welcome to be part of our society. It's those illegal ones who came here unlawfully sucking off our welfare money, tax money and benefits. And those who came here to start gang activities, commit heinous crimes that need to be dealt with accordingly.

Is it the color that get you in gang, or your choice?. Don't be stupid. And STOP the damn stereotyping. Not all Black people are gangs, I see gangs of all races. And IT IS NOT the color that makes you a gang, it is your decision. You are one stupid kid my friend..seriously.

Does this have anything to do with your previous question of "what your group should wear to be identified"? And now you're wondering why the cops follow your group. What are you, some kind of an idiot?

Hey...what's up with that stuff anyway? If everyone stops snitchin' the punks and gangs will rule the land. No way am I giving them an inch in MY community. If someone has a problem with me tellin' it like it is, that's just TOUGH! Get over it! Maybe if the ones being snitched on would get real jobs and real lives, they wouldn't always have to look over their shoulders and threatening people who want to live a good life, free of crime. I know what it's like to be looking over my shoulder...I lived on the south side of Chicago...during the late 60's. No way am I EVER gonna live like that again. Any punks causing a problem are gonna get snitched on, especially if they're in my line of sight. You can take those shirts and use them as wipe rags. Instead of fear, you need to start spreading something positive. It's a much better way of life. <*)))><

To the person that says this doesn't happen in America - you're right, but barely. \n\nWe are allowing new TVs, and Cable television. \n\nI agree, it is a joke. These peole should be made to hate the fact that they are there. I say, and I'm being serious here, bring back the chain gangs. \n\nMake them HATE being incarcerated - and they may not want to follow the same path again that led them there.

I am a Canadian who has American roots, and have brothers and sisters in the States.  I also lived there for a couple of years.  Both countries have their up and down sides.  Medical treatment in Canada is far easier to obtain whether you are rich or poor. No one is denied treatment just because they cannot afford it.  Our social programs are better for those less fortunate. Freedom of speech is strongly endorsed and supported here, and we feel quite free to voice our opinions to our government.  Hate propaganda is not tolerated and carrying weapons will land you to jail.  The scenery is beautiful and if the cold weather bothers you there's always the west coast which rarely sees snow.  Although the crimes stats and drug problem has escalated in recent years it's still one of the safest countries to live in. Our peace keeping efforts are well known and respected around the world . In the past month our government has allocated a large amount of money towards tightening up our security to combat terrorism and our immigration laws are to be tightened up immensly.  We have realized that our immigration laws have been too lax and a much more vigilent screening process is being put in place.  I may be a little biased but my vote goes to Canada.

Toronto is a huge city and there are many spots that could hold stags.  If you know anybody that lives there have them investigate possible settings with liquor licenses already, saving you both the cost and time.  Also seeing how it is a stag and most spots are non smoking you'll probably want somewhere were the laws are a little more relaxed and perhaps they have a special area set up for smokers so they don't need to go out and freeze while lighting up.  A great idea, but costly, would be to rent a room at the Air Canada Centre while the Leafs are playing and that way the guys could play cards, drink, party and watch a good game all at the same time. Good luck.
