As a Canadian, I often balk at examples of racism and discrimination so explicit in American politics.In the fallout of Toronto's recent shootings, however, Mayor Rob Ford and Minister Jason Kenney's comments about reviewing "immigration law" (Ford) and "foreign gangsters" (Kenney) are guilty of exactly what members of Mitt Romney's team have done -- attempting to turn certain communities into "others" who are somehow less American or Canadian because they are racial minorities.

Due to the recent surge in gun violence in Toronto there have been numerous discussions about how best to address this problem.

Margaret Wente attributes recent gun violence to broken families and suggests reforms to the Youth Criminal Justice Act as a solution. She is maybe the worst example of those who use cultural explanations in order to call for a tough-on-crime agenda. One would be hard pressed to find an editorial on The Globe and Mail discussing molecular biology by people with no expertise or experience in the issues. We should demand the same respect for complex social problems and cultural issues.

What to do about gun violence in Toronto -- or anywhere else, for that matter? Well, contrary to prevailing opinion, there's a lot that can be done. For starters, we (the police and government) should determine who is doing the shooting. Unfortunately, "Profiling" is a taboo word for many, especially human rights zealots who equate "profiling" with bullying or unfairly picking on a portion of the community.

The mainstream media outlets can trot out their sociologists and university professors and talk about programs for at-risk youth and gun control and disintegration of the nuclear family but the indelible image of grieving families, usually black and poor, are what stand out. And no amount of social programs or government money is going to stop it.
