@CTVToronto Since when does religion get reported when some random idiot finds a convenient target? Should responsible activists assume a hate crime before an investigation concludes?
Why assume it’s hate before taking into account mental health? Eg coming up.

@sangitaiyer108 The challenge for beleaguered candidates is issue statements that translate into votes. Having a large demographic of newcomers who may vote based on considerations other than core competency ironically risks creating a prototype of a society they escaped.

@DahliaKurtz Very few socialists have heard of such a concept!

@KanwarSierah Catholic Churches don’t allow politicians to seek votes or pose with priests. There is a separation of Church and State.

@TheophanesRex @AdamZivo But AOC in 2019 guesstimated the world ending in 12 yrs if Climate Change was t addressed. That didn’t age well, now this!

@sarbjitkaur1 In this specific case the management decision should b scrutinized as well. Could they have refused? Carving out exceptions to existing laws to accommodate religious minorities may also be up for debate.also fair issues to debate.

@BenRabidoux Maybe it is an anomaly, deportations of rejected claims r so rare that it makes “news”. That is the real shocker. Imagine half a million such “stories”over the next few years! “After 8 years”, story should be: Why did it take 8 years to reject asylum claim.

@TheophanesRex The problem is that boomers, govt workers, union members, retirees and legacy Canadians can afford to ignore the elephant in the room. The burden of loyalty in any society tends to fall and b paid for mostly by vulnerable working class, poorer citizens.

@VJsapps @KeshavMandadi @jhaaditya One time I asked a Punjabi who moved to a Brampton neighborhood about diversity, she said” my neighborhood is v diverse, my neighbors r Sri Lankan, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Chinese and Arab…

@ezralevant Sure there will be some who had hoped it was a white bad actor but will describe this individual as “white adjacent” .

@JayGenXer At Iowa State Fair, parking $10 main lot! The CNE is excruciatingly out of reach for many financially stressed young families.

@itissecret8 @CTVNews Regardless of its expiry date, consuming it advances your own expiry date.

@ShaziGoalie @KanwarSierah This I wrote about community many years ago. Whites in that town were hurt when I referred to “the South Asian community”, for them the few there were embraced as part of Bancroft’s community. I apologized coming from Peel Region where V live in silos.

@saint_ola @truckdriverpleb Moses wrote the Ten Commandments on a rock. lol. I think he thinks it’s a tradition in these parts!

@bellatordave @CTVToronto Also, we seem to be seeing these sort of “hate” crimes occurring in the most diverse regions. “Hate” resonates more if it’s a “White” perpetrator. Then media coverage is wall to wall, otherwise the “hate” story prevails until the ethnicity is revealed.

[Pradip Rodrigues @pradiprodrigues]

@bellatordave @CTVToronto Or Middle Eastern—ideally Italian-passing, because apparently the justice system needs an ethnicity filter before it can decide how seriously to take a crime. 🙃

These days, if the victim belongs to the right “protected” category, we can ski0 evidence .

@bellatordave @CTVToronto And the blue nfl tshirt. U should be able to spot him assuming he is still wearing it. There is a picture of his back. Wonder if anyone saw his face or just his tshirt and black hair.

[Pradip Rodrigues @pradiprodrigues]

@ChudNamedChad @GurpreetSSahota I don’t think anyone noticed that. We live in color blind times, but he wore an nfl tshirt, and his hair was black.
