Toronto is Britain? How is the Muzzies praying different than an Orange parade or rally?

Were laws broken? Did the take over a library? Flip cop cars? Sang out of tune?

Their Right to do it is also my Right to it. Dont whine about my Rights.

What was the British weirdness comment about?
Misplaced this thread, as it was weird, & had to find it to respond. The lopsided media coverage. Clamp down on social media posts, roaming bands of various aggressors in lots of videos, but only one side being shown in the mainstream media. That kinda weirdness.
Canada has not suffered the degree of property damage and lives lost as have Britain and the United States. But that is not a reason for complacency.

Just this past week a group of about 40 protesters blocked the on-ramp of the busy Gardiner Expressway in Toronto.

Some motorists likely considered men clad in masks and approaching their cars to be menacing and were thus disinclined to stop. Police arrested one motorist who collided with protesters, although no charges were laid. The protesters were not charged for blocking the highway.

Then there was this interesting note: “Police would not confirm what the protest was about.”

It appeared to be a “pro-Palestine” demonstration, to no great surprise.

The police more or less tolerated the blockade of moving traffic on an active highway and did not arrest those who did it. They did arrest the driver whom the protesters impeded. Those who are broadly sympathetic to “pro-Palestine” activists might consider that the right response. It’s not, and next month, next year, another group might take note of the response this week and blockade and menace traffic coming out of a mosque. That, writ large, is partly what is happening in Britain.

Canadians would be foolish to think that it cannot happen here, etc…above link.

At the end of last month, the RCMP arrested two men in a north Toronto hotel who appeared about to unleash a terror attack on Canadian targets.
The men, 62-year-old Ahmed Eldidi and his 26-year-old son Mostafa had emigrated to Canada sometime after the father, Ahmed, apparently performed a revenge torture and killing for the terror group ISIS.
Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, 62, and his 26-year-old son Mostafa Eldidi were arrested last week in a Richmond Hill hotel room for what the RCMP allege was a plot to carry out a violent terror attack in Toronto.

The pair face nine charges, including conspiracy to commit murder on behalf or at the behest of a terror organization.
It is alleged the senior Eldidi bound a suspected ISIS traitor to a cross, then proceeded to hack off the man’s feet and hands while the victim screamed.
Global News reported last week the latter charge is related to the elder Eldidi’s participation in a 2015 ISIS torture video featuring an abductee being dismembered by a sword.
The brutality was captured on video.
“Shortly after the events in that video, this individual was admitted into Canada, and later was granted citizenship by the Trudeau government.”

During a Monday press conference, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ducked direct questions about the case, but said the government is taking the situation seriously, and that Justice Minister Arif Virani would have more to say.

“Canadians need to have confidence in our immigration system, and on the millions of people who’ve come here over the years to build a better life for themselves and their future,” Trudeau said.

So far, only the NDP have joined the Tories in expressing support for investigating the matter — and without the support of the Bloc Québécois they lack the majority votes needed to offset the Liberals.

The political discourse gets really long in Parliamentary systems.
One-quarter of Canadians believe that anti-Indigenous racism and antisemitism are very serious problems in Canada, according to a new national poll.

The poll, which was conducted by Leger for the Association for Canadian Studies, was released just weeks after Statistics Canada hate-crime data revealed that antisemitism accounted for about 70 per cent of religiously motivated hate crimes in 2023, despite Jewish people accounting for only about two per cent of the nation’s population.

(Anti-Muslim sentiment is present in about 16 per cent of the religiously motivated hate crimes reported to police in 2023)

Anti-Indigenous sentiment was present in about three per cent of race-based hate crimes, while Indigenous people account for about five per cent of Canada’s population.

“Our perception of prejudice is very much affected by the domestic fallout of global conflicts,” said Jack Jedwab, president of the Association for Canadian Studies, in an email. “But the effect varies according to where you live as we can see in some parts of the country and there is a gap between the perceptions about which groups are the object of prejudice.”

There are significant regional variations regarding what Canadians perceive as real problems in Canada. For example, 57 per cent of Quebecers said anti-LGBTQ discrimination is a problem in Canada, while just 46 per cent of Albertans agreed.

On antisemitism, specifically, 65 per cent of British Columbians said it’s a problem, followed by 63 per cent of Ontarians and 61 per cent of Atlantic Canadians. Fifty-nine per cent of Quebecers said antisemitism is a problem and 60 per cent of those in Manitoba and Saskatchewan agreed. Albertans, at 50 per cent, are least likely to believe antisemitism is a problem in Canada.

I wonder what Amira Elghawaby would have to say about this?​

2 is 100% more than 1.

No mention of the 47 Churches burned since 2019?

33 since 2021 with 25 proven arson.
