Canada: Toronto A 'Multicultural Paradise'? What Was Cato's Wilkinson Smoking? - Kathy Shaidle
May 08, 2009
By Kathy Shaidle
The same day Wilkinson's article appeared online [http://www.theweek.com/article/index/95748/The_immigration_fallacy], thousands of Toronto Tamils took to the streets in what eventually became a four-day long demonstration that blocked rush hour traffic and waved the flag of a banned terrorist group, the Tamil Tigers.
That's nothing new. Earlier this year, I was one of about a dozen counter protesters behind the barricades when three thousand Muslims and their leftist supporters, many waving Hezbollah banners, took over a major intersection to protest the war in Gaza. A Muslim woman yelled, 'Jewish child, you are gonna f---ing die' at the boy standing next to me (and I have the video to prove it), but Toronto police were reportedly ordered not to arrest any Muslims at that demonstration, even for uttering death threats.
Will Wilkinson says that Toronto, the 'fifth most livable city in the world,' is 'one of Earth's closest approximations of urban paradise.'
I can only assume Wilkinson was thinking fondly of visits to 'Yongesterdam'-Toronto's marijuana-friendly zone-when he wrote those words. To those of us obliged to live in Toronto more or less sober, such outdated Chamber of Commerce clichés are a joke.
