My Tuesday Toronto Sun column: Policing report exposes the flawed logic of race-crime statistics torontosun.com/opinion/column… #topoli #tocouncil #onpoli #cdnpoli
A new report by the Ontario Human Rights Commission concludes Black people are disproportionately arrested and charged by Toronto Police compared to Whites, but also that Whites are disproportionately arrested and charged compared to “Asian, Aboriginal and Brown” people.
Should we thus conclude that not only are Toronto Police systemically racist against Blacks compared to Whites (and other visible minorities), but also systemically racist against Whites compared to “Asian, Aboriginal and Brown” people?
The problem with this logic is that it infers that for the police to prove they aren’t racist, they must demonstrate the percentage of people they arrest and charge in every racial group reflects their percentage of the population, which is absurd.

‼️⬇️
Cabinet aides yesterday confirmed New Democrats and Liberals held closed door meetings to rewrite the Elections Act. One revision guaranteed parliamentary pensions for dozens of MPs.

🧵blacklocks.ca/confirm-secret…
Allen Sutherland, assistant cabinet secretary, confirmed only New Democrat and Liberal MPs and staff attended secret meetings on drafts of Bill C-65 An Act To Amend The Canada Elections Act prior to its introduction last March 20.
🧵
Clause 5.2 of the bill would change the statutory date of the next election currently fixed for Monday, October 20 to October 27, a measure that would benefit 28 Liberal and New Democrat MPs.

Canada's annual Inflation rate crept upward to 3.3% in July, an increase from 2.8% in June, and once again outside the Bank of Canada's target rate of 2% with a range of 1% to 3%.
www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quoti…
'Acceleration in headline consumer inflation was mainly attributable to a base-year effect in gasoline prices, as a large monthly decline in July 2022 (-9.2%) is no longer impacting the 12-month movement. Excluding gasoline, the CPI rose 4.1%, edging up from 4.0% in June.'
'The mortgage interest cost index (+30.6%) posted another record year-over-year gain and remained the largest contributor to headline inflation. The all-items excluding mortgage interest cost index rose 2.4% in July.'

When @gmbutts attacks @RobertFife & the @globeandmail on social media for reporting on China's interference in our elections, does he believe people don't know he resigned from the PMO in the wake of Fife's accurate reporting on SNC-Lavalin, that @JustinTrudeau called 'false'?

Um, June 17, 2022:
'Due to the inherent characteristics of substitutes, the reduction in plastic waste from the six categories of SUPs depicted in Table 6 will have an associated increase in waste from substitutes (e.g., substituting paper for plastic increases material weight).'
'The Regulations are expected to increase the tonnage of waste generated from substitutes by an estimated 275 943 tonnes in 1st year of full policy stringency (2024) or 2.9 million tonnes over the analytical period (2023/2032), almost all driven by paper substitutes.'
'In the case of SUP checkout bags, SUP foodservice ware made from, or containing problematic plastics, as well as SUP ring carriers, some of their substitutes are themselves made of plastics, though they are likely less harmful than their prohibited counterparts.'

The value of the controversy over Trudeau's
'Just Transition Plan' broken by @mindingottawa is that it ends the myth only oil, gas & coal workers will be impacted by his green energy plan: In fact, 7 major sectors of the economy could face “significant” disruptions in employment
They are: Oil & gas, transportation, buildings, heavy industry, agriculture, electricity, waste disposal & 'others'
See here: canada.ca/en/environment…
Also, carbon prices don't just impact gasoline & natural gas. They apply to 22 different fuels.
See here: canada.ca/en/revenue-age…
Finally carbon prices don't just apply to carbon dioxide emissions. They also apply to methane, nitrous oxide, sulphur hexafluoride, perfluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons and nitrogen trifluoride emissions.

Yeah, Trudeau's 'Just Transition Plan' is going great. Really.
April 26/22: Report of the Federal Environment Commissioner on the Just Transition Plan: 'Transition to a low-carbon economy shows insufficient government preparation to support affected workers and communities.' 1/4
'Natural Resources Canada, Employment and Social Development Canada and other partners acting on behalf of the federal government were not prepared to support workers and communities through a just transition to a low-carbon economy.' 2/4
'The audit found that there was no federal implementation plan, formal governance structure, or monitoring and reporting system in place to support a just transition and that supporting legislation has been delayed.' 3/4
