Blacks represent just under 5% of the Canadian population. Of interest, Indigenous Canadians are eight times more likely to be incarcerated than the overall population. Natives make up about 5% of Canada's population. Combine them, and compared to the Black population of the United States (12%), there is not that much difference. Still lower than Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Hamilton, Kitchener, etc. Toronto is actually one of the safest cities in North America. The Indigenous population are twice as likely to be charged with violent crime than Black Canadians. It's well known in Western Canada that there is a strong correlation between violent crime rate, and the size of a city's Indigenous population. Just look at Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Regina, Thunder Bay, and Edmonton. They all have very large Native communities, and they all are considered among the most violent cities in Canada.

Why Depression Rates Are Higher Among Liberals Columbia researchers look at the politics of despair. By David J. Craig | Spring/Summer 2023 American adults who identify as politically liberal have long reported lower levels of happiness and psychological well-being than conservatives, a trend that mental-health experts suspect is at least partly explained by liberals’ tendency to spend more time worrying about stress-inducing topics like racial injustice, income inequality, gun violence, and climate change. Now a team of Columbia epidemiologists has found evidence that the same pattern holds for American teenagers. The researchers analyzed surveys collected from more than eighty-six thousand twelfth graders over a thirteen-year period and discovered that while rates of depression have been rising among students of all political persuasions and demographics, they have been increasing most sharply among progressive students — and especially among liberal girls from low-income families. The authors, who include Columbia professors Katherine M. Keyes ’10PH, Seth J. Prins ’16PH, and Lisa M. Bates, along with graduate student and lead author Catherine Gimbrone, speculate that left-leaning teens may have been deeply affected by Donald Trump’s election as president, the US Supreme Court’s subsequent lurch to the right, rising socioeconomic inequality, and worsening political polarization. “Liberal adolescents may have therefore experienced alienation within a growing conservative political climate such that their mental health suffered in comparison to that of their conservative peers whose hegemonic views were flourishing,” they write. https://magazine.columbia.edu/article/why-depression-rates-are-higher-among-liberals

Two-thirds of Canadians hold a favourable view of Kamala Harris, and half say they are "hopeful" at the prospect of the Democratic presumptive nominee winning the U.S. presidential election in November, according to an Angus Reid Institute online survey released Wednesday. Harris performed best with women, particularly those 55 and older as nearly 80 per cent of the demographic said they had a positive impression(opens in a new tab) of the U.S. vice-president. She also carried favourable ratings among older men, as males 55 and older are more likely (71 per cent) to have a high opinion of Harris than any other age group under 55, regardless of gender. How Canadians see Harris may have more to do with how they view her political rival, former U.S. president and Republican nominee Donald Trump. Thirty-five per cent of respondents say they feel "relieved" when they think of Harris, while 76 per cent of Canadians hold an unfavourable view of Trump. Other words associated with Trump were "worried," "dumbfounded" and "disappointed." However, not all respondents hold a positive view of Harris. Approximately 40 per cent of men under 55 hold unfavourable views of her, with younger men describing her as "dishonest," "arrogant" or "corrupt." The survey also revealed that Canadians overwhelmingly believe it's easier for men to get elected to high political office, with 73 per cent saying it's harder for female candidates to get elected, while 22 per cent say gender plays no role. This conflicts with the survey also reporting that most voters say there's no difference between male and female politicians when it comes to listening to voters, seeking compromise across the aisle, making tough decisions and performing competently. Harris, who is both Black and South Asian, has faced attacks from the GOP and online when it comes to her race. Trump told the National Association of Black Journalists last month that Harris misled voters about her race and "happened to turn Black," while some Republican members of Congress have called her "a DEI hire," a reference to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. According to the survey, Canadians are split as to whether Harris' race will be an advantage or disadvantage, with 26 per cent saying it gives her an advantage, 21 per cent saying it's a disadvantage and 33 per cent believing it will make no difference. Most of the older Canadians and men under 35 who were surveyed believe it will boost her efforts to win the presidency, while most women under 55 believe it will be an impediment. source: https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/what-do-canadians-really-think-about-kamala-harris-results-of-a-just-released-poll-1.7001368 This survey mimics the attitudes Canadians had of Biden compared to Trump in 2020, where Biden was favoured by Canadians at a astounding percentage of 84-16.

Here is another song dedicated to you: -
Trump has cried Wolf too many times, in terms of "election interference." Trump was going on about election interference in the months before he beat Hilary, since he honestly believed he would lose. Then in 2020, he would not shut up about "election interference," and went through the trouble of hiring a conman to oversee the USPS, and make false claims about two electronic balloting companies. I find it amusing that aside from the 2000 US election (where it was decided by a few hundred votes in Florida), that at no time in my life, has a presidential candidate went on about election interference.

It seems the last of the Republicans with an ounce of integrity are switching parties, and abandoning the GOP. Colin Powell was an Honorable Republican, but at the very end of his life said he no longer recognised the Republican party, and no longer wished to associate himself with them. I will never forget when John McCain, sick and frail, in one last act in defiance to Trump, cast the deciding vote to prevent the repeal of Obamacare. It was like McCain had the middle finger up, and pointing at Trump, as his casket was lowered to the ground.

On this clip, Trump argues just like CdnFox. Both have no idea how to read charts, and refuse to admit they are incorrect. -
