Kitchener man, 28, charged with second degree murder in stabbing death yesterday of 26 year old man in Cambridge. I haven’t seen totals, but it seems that Region of Waterloo is experiencing more homicides than average this year (average being +/-6 per year, iirc).

Edit: This was the Region’s 6th homicide of 2020.

5 so far in Halifax.

Of course Nova Scotia as a whole will be off the charts this year due to the mass shooting outside the city.

Why are there still so many gun-related violence in Toronto (Proper)??

There aren't. It's just alt-right Trump sympathizer-driven hysteria.

Prime example of the "fear-mongering":

Regina is pretty close to Winnipeg, running around 3.2/100k I believe.

Acajack · #**5233** Posted **Oct 5, 2020, 2:19 PM**

Still low but a bit of an uptick in Vancouver? What's going on there?

Acajack · #**5234** Posted **Oct 5, 2020, 2:21 PM**

Two more in Montreal. A man shot and killed his two sisters in the east end before being shot by police. All people involved are in their 50s and 60s.

This will bring the rate up a bit as there haven't been that many in that city in 2020.

In Brampton. The bullet went through the door and killed the man.
Not again...

No you don't. In 2008, United Way of Thunder Bay sent a white kid and a native kid with identical resumes to a variety of businesses, and the white kid was always more accepted than the native kid. Unemployment among aboriginals isn't twice as high because they're lazy, it is twice as high because it takes them twice as long to find a job, because they don't get hired, because of stereotypes against them. Many employers are less trusting of aboriginal people, regardless of how trustworthy that person actually is.

The situation has improved in the past decade, and most of that improvement has come since that report on my city's quality of life in 2008, but we still have a long way to go.

623,780 out of 1,172,790 aboriginal people (53%) have status. That is the maximum number of native people who are eligible for what you think of as "free education". (It is only partially free, because the government made itself legally obligated to provide it.)

There are a tonne of programmes out there to help people, but many are underfunded and understaffed. I made use of three such programmes in the past year and two no longer exist. There are a few new programmes that have been created since then but I have no idea what they're called and I actually pay attention to this kind of thing.

Federal laws prevent a lot of the solutions that have come up with to correct their social problems from within. When non-natives want to have public schools, they levy an education tax. Aboriginal governments do not have the right to do that, they are restricted to relying on the government to provide funding for the majority of their programming, especially when it is as expensive as a comprehensive education system.

There are social issues on the reserves that need to be dealt with, but non-aboriginal Canadians have to understand that the federal laws dealing with aboriginal Canadians are getting in the way of many solutions, and they're the ones with the influence.

Native people don't vote in large numbers, so governments can afford to neglect them. We have to stop letting that behaviour go unpunished. Non-natives have to be more vocal about improving laws concerning aboriginal people.

Most Aboriginals that I meet use that term as well, and some actually get offended if you don't call them that. Others consider it as insulting as "nigger" to a black American, and want to be called one of the other terms. It can be difficult to work around that.

Did you really spend time looking up a post from 9 years ago? That’s uhh, something. I guess anyone can be Extremely Online.

It takes no more time to look up a post from 9 years ago than it does to find one from 1 second ago.

Actually, when we first began having discussions about the use of the n-word, and some posters were, um, very passionate about it being verboten, I actually did a search for fun.

If I were some people on here I might actually do a search of the real n-word with my username. And maybe do a quick edit!

Alas, it's too late for our friend vid. But he's a big boy. He can take it.

niwell · #**5240** Posted **Oct 18, 2020, 3:54 AM**

I think 9 years is enough for things to have changed, particularly for some posters who had a reputation but are completely different now.

In any event I don't think I've ever used that part of the search function (never had a need to), but turns out I'm good. Not that it's surprising.
