Enough is enough in Toronto and what happens here WILL happen elsewhere soon or already does to a differing degree. It's already country wide.

If certain "elements" of society feel left out then here is my way to include them:

MANDATORY SERVICE for everyone

It is the norm in many countries, after finishing High School (or similar age if you are a loser already) TWO YEARS mandatory service.

That usually means the military and that is not a bad thing but not for everyone obviously.

In countries where it already happens exceptions are made so that ANYTHING that helps the community rather than shooting holes in it is acceptable. (ex/ a friend of mine in Spain chose working for the Red Cross over the Spanish Army).

Want to live in this country? Join the Army, Boy Scouts, be active in a Church (any religion), work at a shelter, plant trees, work at a charity organization..... ...anything "good" for the community and by default yourself. Do something good, quit your bitching and blaming the people who do already (without force or law) do good for society and make up for the fact you are lazy, unispireded and lack discipline (and probably a criminal or a potential one).

Those of us who  have contributed without asking which includes all races, religions and origins, Everyone in my family were "New Canadians" in the past 500 years to the past 50 and that is f*ck all in the course of time but I'll be damned if I let the slackers wreck it.

Don't get me wrong, the Canadians I respect the most are the recent immigrant families I meet where the family works together long and hard for themselves and the community; they usually do a better than the slackers who have been here a while.

If the family "just off the boat" has a better car/slash house than you it is not because of their colour it is because the family works together for a common goal and likely the place they came from had the "discipline" I propose, That is nothing more radical than what I grew up, simply being part of society.
