Canadian citizen.
...

Fred Flintstone? What are you saying? Your a canadian Citizen?
...


How about we take a look at the whole comment, not just your strategically cropped version...

So if people are caught, I don’t care if you’re white, pink or purple, I don’t care what country you’re from, I don’t care if you’re a Canadian citizen or not, all I’m saying is if you’re caught with a gun and convicted of a gun crime, I want you out of this city.

How do you get "out my country" from "out of my city"?

Unless....

The content is irrelevant, so long as the premise is an attack, or can be spun to be an attack upon the posters ideological arch enemy.

Is bang on, lol.

Is sending a Sweed who is not a Canadian Citizen, back to Sweden, for carrying an illegal weapon "Racism"???

Thats a new one....

Can you suggest a real reason for debating the racism and attempts to circumvent the Rule of Law by an elected official - no matter how many votes he got.

It would seem that you have either not read the opening or are totally unable to understand the totalitarian implications.

Personally, I see nothing to debate other than some mechanism for removing Ford from his position.

Sometimes it seems a shame that we do not have an impeachment' process.

Or Acton!

I wonder how long these Toronto gang bangers would survive trying to do what the do here but in Negril?

According to you and Fletch, so is the National Post.
Nope, lol.

You never did explain how you got "out of my country" from "out of my city", lol.

The NP, and G&M, didn't make that leap. That ideological troll, is all yours, lol.

Nope. I caught your spin and pointed out your ideological dishonesty, lol.

You twisted what I said and the entire quote you posted does not disagree with the obvious assertion that Ford wants gun-related criminals out of Toronto, regardless of whether or not they are Canadian citizens.

Of course he does. What sane person wouldn't? I would hazard a guess most Torontonians do.

But of course, we're all aware that you feel you know better than the majority of Torontonians.

Mayor Ford, just to be clear here, we’re not talking about you having any inside information as to knowing the immigration status of the suspected shooter, or anything to that effect.

Racial profiling is racism.

What is the rationalization for kicking criminals out of a city just because they are criminals?

Which city would they be transferred to and why?

Correction, people convicted of gun crime.

Given the context of his commentary, obviously those that can be deported, deported. Those that are convicted, sent to Federal facilities.

Even for all his ranting and rambling, it wasn't that hard to ascertain. But then again, I'm not an ideologue.

And you can see how this "clarification" wasn't mentioned.

Did it have to be?

Obviously anyone not looking for something to poke Ford in the eye with, that chose to use commonsense and reason, instead of their ideological blinders, was able to understand what he was trying to convey.

Just like how most of us are capable of seeing through the cowardly, ambiguous trolling by the ideological trolls that abound here.
