1 Dead, 6 Hurt In Toronto Street Shooting

Now how did this happen in the gun-controlled paradise of Canada?

U P D A T E : And here it comes, David Miller, the Mayor of Toronto pointing an accusing finger south, because it's always easier to blame the evil United States than deal with your own problems. From CNN:

"It's a sign that the lack of gun laws in the U.S. is allowing guns to flood across the border that are literally being used to kill people in the streets of Toronto," Miller said.

Miller said Toronto, a city of nearly three million, is still very safe compared to most American cities, but the illegal flow of weapons from the United States is causing the noticeable rise in gun violence.

"The U.S. is exporting its problem of violence to the streets of Toronto," he said.

While other more sensible Canucks had this to say:

John Thompson, a security analyst with the Toronto-based Mackenzie Institute, says the number of guns smuggled from the United States is a problem, but that Canada has a gang problem -- not a gun problem -- and that Canada should stop pointing the finger at the United States.

"It's a cop out. It's an easy way of looking at one symptom rather than addressing a whole disease," Thompson said.

O, Canada - deal with your own faults first, before you criticize other countries.
