Why isn't adam vaughan putting a motion to city council to outlaw gangs???? These gangs are responsible for the vast majority of the violence in our city.

We don't have a gang problem. We have an immigration problem. This problem has been evolving ever since this country was foolish enough to throw it's doors open. Jamaican youth were a problem almost from the minute they arrived in this city...just ask policemen who were on the force back then. If we'd implemented much tighter immigration requirements, and aggressively thrown offenders out, we'd have prevented this problem. YET, after 4 decades, we are still struggling to inject some kind of logic in the immigration process.

Millions of people from other cultures have come to this country and thrived. However, in this case, we have imported a violent, impoverished underclass that decries our society and police, but still demand that they be essentially bribed not to turn to crime. Immigration is supposed to be good for Canada...it's not supposed to be a sinkhole for law enforcement, correctional, and social assistance spending.

@Carro it's a partial immigration problem. With all the waves of immigration there was never any investigation into the people applying. Included with all the people that have thrived and contributed were others that never should have been allowed. Look at the Sikh violence in BC, Vietnamese gangs that came with the boat people, Jamaican gangsters, Somali, Sri Lankan, and now Roma (aka gypsies).

We'd still have a homegrown problem however it's been exacerbated by a mostly Liberal agenda of immigration that never bothered to vet immigrants, and automatically allow family members without vetting.

Another problem is our human rights charter that allows refugee claimants decades to stay in Canada before being booted out. This is a major attraction for criminals as it's the path of least resistance for them.

Canada is knows worldwide for this farcical policy and this is what we end up with.
