Election Digest

This account primarily re-tweets posts from Toronto City Council candidates and news about municipal issues in the city. Tweets from current city councillors that are not explicitly campaign-related are not retweeted. Incumbents already have too many advantages.

@wanscoodooby @globalnewsto So relaxing self defense laws is silly. It won't change whether people hurt/kill people, and it won't change whether people go to prison for defending themselves (because they don't go to prison now), but it will mean more criminals get away with murder.

@wanscoodooby @globalnewsto That's pretty much correct. Criminals think they'll get away with it and people who need to defend themselves will defend themselves regardless (and be found not guilty).

@AlixG_2 Don't use the R word.

To the retarded fucking liberals in Canada who are now looking at $8/gallon. Before you blame it on Trump, here's a reminder. Canada has the 3rd largest oil reserves in the world. We don't need to rely on anyone. It's your liberal Prime Minister who won't allow you to use them.

@wanscoodooby @globalnewsto You should have just started by saying you're an anarchist.

@ElectionDigest @globalnewsto Name a law that prevents crime. Just one.

@wanscoodooby @globalnewsto So you don't believe in trials? You think cops can just figure it out?

@ElectionDigest @globalnewsto Nope. Any good cop will be able to put 2 and 2 together and have reasonable suspicion of a crime being disguised as self defense. A home invasion is not an ex lover.

CAMH is aware that provincial funding for supervised consumption sites will end on June 13, 2026. We share the concerns of our community partners about the impact this will have on clients, staff, and communities across Ontario.

@CP24 Not just foreign flags, also charities!

Toronto councillor proposes banning flying foreign flags at City Hall cp24.com/local/toronto/…

It's Burnside and his motion also applies to non-profit organizations. So, no more "Alzheimer's awareness" flag raising or Terry Fox marathon of hope flag raising. Really going to throw all those babies out with the Palestine bathwater, eh?

It's Burnside.

@wanscoodooby @globalnewsto I don't care about the gun in the context of this discussion. The point is he killed someone in self defense, as proven in court. And yes, he should have gone to court to prove his innocence.

@ElectionDigest @globalnewsto And the gun had nothing to do with the actual incident. It’s a “so what”? He had a gun. It wasn’t used.

@wanscoodooby @globalnewsto You really don't see how castle law could be applied so that he gets away with murdering his girlfriend?

@ElectionDigest @globalnewsto They have a romantic history. Of course there would be an investigation. The proposed law isn’t to protect one killing a bf/gf. It’s addressing home invasion done by strangers.

@wanscoodooby @globalnewsto "oh no what is someone breaks the law"? who the fuck are you bro? Maybe we don't need laws or police? Why limit this get of jail free card to the confines of someone's home?

@ElectionDigest @globalnewsto Oh no what if someone breaks the law!! Give it up dude. You just don’t want one of your “buddies” claiming you broke into their home. Law abiding citizens don’t even consider that scenario because they don’t hang out with criminals.

@wanscoodooby @globalnewsto Maybe you don't realize this, but most of our laws exist so we can punish bad people when they do bad things that good people probably wouldn't do.

@ElectionDigest @globalnewsto The means are restricted and you want innocent citizens charged with murder and forced to prove their innocence because “a criminal might use the system to murderer another criminal. Are you a criminal? Do you hang out at other criminals homes?

@wanscoodooby @globalnewsto To murder another criminal? Wtf are you talking about? If you have someone over to your house, pick a fight with them and kill them you shouldn't be able to get off just because it happened in your house.

@wanscoodooby @globalnewsto Yes. That's how the law works. That's how justice works. You are innocent until proven guilty. If you don't like the idea of homeowners being charged and held or forced to pay bail, then that should apply to crimes outside the home too.

@JIMBO12456334 @DustinDPlett @OrbitStudios Every dead body in public has to be attended to by police. If you don't know that already I have to assume you're 10 years old.

@ElectionDigest @DustinDPlett @OrbitStudios That’s not what policing means. Quick autopsy determines COD

Get loaded everywhere but safe injection sites are bad.

@JIMBO12456334 @DustinDPlett @OrbitStudios I guess in your world a foolproof way to get away with murder is to just shoot someone up with fentanyl because the cops will never investigate it.
