Interesting isn't it, that out of the 1000 plus sexual assaults that occurred in Canada that day, that the accused in the story was the only one identified by his ethnic background?

I guess the only relevance would be if the person committing the crime was of a minority and the commission of the act was disproportionate to the distribution of the acts. I can only assume that Syrian refugees make up a very small percentage of the general population. I would expect the number of rapes and crimes they commit to be the same percentage.

Of course, nobody keeps stats on race or immigration status less they be perhaps presented with uncomfortable facts. Ironically by not keeping those stats there is nothing to refute the claim that it is disproportionate.

Kinda like the stats on Catholic priests diddling boys - the percentage of priest diddling is less than the percentage of the general population diddling but none the less they are labeled as diddlers. The only reason to bring up his ethnicity is to incite hatred toward a group. Kinda like 90% of all attacks in America are are perpetrated by non Muslims but only Muslims are terrorist.

A far lower rank below Protestants and Injuns on young bucks.

You aren't cut and a Catholic Caucasian (which you physically and culturally are) I have no issues calling you white self-hating trailer trash even though it is RACIST.

All the dope, sweet grass and sage on the planet will NEVER change that undeniable fact...

Have a Nazi day white boy.

Is a 'cultural Christian' like an 'atheist Jew' or an 'atheist Muslim?' How can people not see the oximoron? Jew is not synonymous with Hebrew or Muslim with Arab or Christian with English or French or White.

...and the only one Trumpites seem to care about.

... the Libs told the public they had thoughly vetted all Syrian refugees and they posed no risk to the public.

That's a lie. Why do you feel the need to lie? Is it because your position is not defensible when you stick to facts?

Of course, nobody keeps stats on race or immigration status less they be perhaps presented with uncomfortable facts...

Why do you Trumpites insist on posting mind numbingly idiotic nonsense. Of course the government keeps those stats. They have all types of government employees (you know.. the ones you hate) keeping track of all kinds of shyte. Pull your fackin' head out of your a$$.

Catholics diddle children. It's a proven fact. We should have a Catholic registry in this country.

I, for one, would like to made aware when Petros comes through town so I can protect the grandkids

The Liberals said the Syrian refugees were not a risk to Canadians.
The Liberals lied like they always do.

Tell the six teens how good Syrian refugees are Justine.

Could this be rare? Well since we know that rapes in Pakistan, Middle East, Africa, etc.. are very rare due to all the rigid controls ( prayers 5x day, fear of Mohammad, etc). The huge increase of rape cases in Sweden, Germany and the UK are simply unexplainable!!.,

Reporting news is a useful method which forces people in authority to action (the mighty vote). The question is, "If news agencies stop reporting issues to the public in order to prevent some from feeling offended, could we trust the establishment to do the right thing, or would they start sowing dirt under the rug"? When an agency becomes partisan, we all loose.

Actually I would be surprised if the ratio of crimes committed by immigrants is higher than the norm. Studies have shown that that in general immigrants are more law-abiding that the rest of the population.
