S2 january 2 2006 CANADA’S NATIONAL NEWSPAPER ᔢ FOUNDED 1844 ᔢ GLOBEANDMAIL.COM ᔢ MONDAY, JANUARY 2, 2006 Toronto THE WALL Vital protection or land grab? records first fatal shooting of 2006 BY CAROLINE ALPHONSO, TORONTO AND GLORIA GALLOWAY, OTTAWA Only five hours into the new year, a 21-year-old man died after being shot in a car in Toronto, a city still reeling from a year of record gun crime that culminated in the fatal Boxing Day shooting of a teenager shopping with her family. Mayor David Miller said yester- day’s shooting appeared to be con- nected to gangs and the drug trade. Police said they had no evidence of this, but did say that the victim was on probation for his role in shooting another man in the head nearly three years ago. Shooting victim Dillan Yhanike Anderson, 21, of Toronto, is shown in an image taken from CITY-TV. Mr. Miller said local, provincial and federal government officials would meet Wednesday to start mo- bilizing part of the $50-million Lib- eral Leader Paul Martin promised just before the start of the election campaign for community programs to prevent young people from turn- ing to crime.

  • The Nuclear Bible: the Numerology of “26” & “11” (Date of Super Bowl XLV)
    The Nuclear Bible: The Numerology of “26” & “11” (Date of Super Bowl XLV) Intro: Understanding the numbers 26 & 11 goes a long way into understanding which days to stay home and avoid public places, and who is responsible for the worst the tragedies that humanity has ever experienced. The 2011 Super Bowl date of February 6, 2011, just happen to include both numbers. Interestingly, Road 2611 just happens to be in Texas where Super Bowl XLV will be played! Source: Wikipedia Title/Headline: Farm To Market Road Abstract: Farm to Market Road 2611 begins where FM 2004 ends at State Highway 36 near Jones Creek. The road follows a western path, crossing the San Bernard River and passing the Churchill Bridge Community. The highway intersects FM 2918, an access highway to the River's End Community and the San Bernard Wildlife Refuge. Making a sharp north, then west curve, FM 2611 continues its western path 10 miles (16 km) south of Sweeny, entering Matagorda County and the Cedar Lake Community. The road comes to its end at the intersection of FM 457, connecting Sargent to Bay City (Wikipedia, 2010). 26 & 11: Scrotum Constellation: Messier object M11, a magnitude 7.0 open cluster in the constellation Scutum, also known as the Wild Duck Cluster. Scutum contains several open clusters, as well as a globular cluster and a planetary nebula. The two best known deep sky objects in Scutum are M11 (NGC 6705), the Wild Duck Cluster, a dense open cluster, and M26, another open cluster also known as NGC 6694. The globular cluster NGC 6712 and the planetary nebula IC 1295 can be found in the eastern part of the constellation, only 24 arcminutes apart (Wikipedia, 2010).

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] ‘Bright Lights and Dark Knights’: Racial Publics and the Juridical Mourning of Gun Violence in Toronto Abstract On 26 December 2005, 15-year-old Jane Creba was killed by gunfire that erupted between two groups of young men in the central consumer district of Toronto. This article examines how the public mourning of this white high school student is routed through racial knowledges of criminality that invest her death with an affective ‘public’ significance in contradistinction to the other victims of gun violence in 2005, most of who were young African Canadian men reputed to participate in gangs. By explicating the racial modes of publicity that are borne of this event, this article illustrates how the mediated circulation of this crime scene works to articulate phantasmic geographies of segregation atop the more convivial forms of sociality that characterize life in the city. It then shows how ‘black’ gun violence is configured as a force exogenous to consumer spaces, warranting the use of legal technologies of the state to (re)establish the racial boundaries of the city.

  • Dissertation-A Livingstone-Oct 24
    RACIAL POLITICS AND SOCIAL POLICY IN URBAN CANADA by Anne-Marie Livingstone A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Baltimore, Maryland October, 2018 © Anne-Marie Livingstone 2018 All Rights Reserved Abstract The dissertation presents findings from a comparative study of urban policies the provincial governments of Quebec and Ontario introduced simultaneously, yet independently, in the year of 2006. Its central purpose is to resolve an unexpected paradox between the two cases. In 2006, the two provinces launched new policies in direct response to crises of urban violence that were steeped in racial stereotypes of deviant young black males. In defiance of its reputation for progressive social policy, Quebec embarked on a disciplinary strategy of law enforcement and detention. In Ontario, the government broke from the history of neo-liberal cuts and injected new funds into social provision for low-income youth. To answer the puzzle, the study combines data from interviews with respondents who participated in the policy process in each province and archival material. Findings show that the causes of the policy change were roughly the same across the two provinces, and reflected a convergence between exogenous pressures and the interests of political institutions. In each case, well-publicized incidents of gun violence became “focusing events” that created a window of opportunity for advocates to push through their preferred policy. In Quebec, those advocates were police chiefs, who lobbied successfully for a crime-fighting strategy against “street gangs.” In Ontario, black Liberal politicians and black community organizations in Toronto were instrumental in framing the policy agenda around the need to tackle poverty, inequality, and racial discrimination.

  • Illegal Guns Begin As Legal Guns
    ALL ILLEGAL GUNS BEGIN AS LEGAL GUNS Opponents of gun control keep saying that we should “punish the criminals”, and leave law abiding gun owners alone. But where do criminals get their guns? Although half of the handguns recovered in crime are smuggled into the country from the U.S., the other half originate from Canadian gun owners. Legal guns are misused by their owners, and used in domestic homicide, suicides, and accidents. We have seen a number of high profile shootings – including Toronto’s 2005 Boxing Day shooting – where the guns used have been stolen from so called law abiding gun owners. Further, handguns are not the only threat – the majority of police officers killed in recent years have been killed with rifles and shotguns, not handguns. There are three major sources of guns used for criminal purposes: 1. Legal guns misused by their owners – as is most often the case with domestic homicide, suicide and accidents. • In Alberta in December 2011, two men and a woman were shot to death, and another woman seriously wounded, reportedly by the one of the victims’ estranged boyfriend, who then shot himself with a legally registered gun he used for sport shooting.1 • A five-year-old boy in Manitoba accidentally shot his four-year-old sister, after finding his parents’ firearm, which did not have trigger locks and was normally stored in an unlocked closet. 2 • In January 2010, Stephanie Hoddinott was shot and killed by her former boyfriend with a legally owned handgun. The man later turned the gun on himself.

  • Black Males' Perceptions of and Experiences with the Police in Toronto
    Black Males' Perceptions of and Experiences with the Police in Toronto by Akwasi Owusu-Bempah A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Akwasi Owusu-Bempah, 2014 Black Males' Perceptions of and Experiences with the Police in Toronto Akwasi Owusu-Bempah Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies University of Toronto 2014 Abstract Canada is commonly depicted as a diverse and tolerant immigrant-receiving nation, accepting of individuals of various racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. Nevertheless, Canadian institutions have not been immune to allegations of racial bias and discrimination. For the past several decades, Toronto’s Black communities have directed allegations of racial discrimination at the police services operating within the city. Using a mixed-methods approach, this thesis examines Black males’ perceptions of and experiences with the police in the Greater Toronto Area. In order to provide a comprehensive examination of this issue, this thesis is comprised of three studies with three distinct groups of Black males. The first of these three studies utilizes data from a representative sample of Black, Chinese, and White adults from the Greater Toronto area to examine racial and gender differences in perceptions of and experiences with the police. The second study draws on data from a sample of young Black men recruited from four of Toronto’s most disadvantaged and high crime neighbourhoods to examine the views and ii experiences of those most targeted by the police. The final study involves interviews with Black male police officers in order to draw on the perspectives of those entrusted with enforcing the law.
