Oh dear! Bad enough there should be at least one shooting a day in Toronto, but here in sleepy old Lindsay? I hope this is not the shape of things to come!
You can bet it the shape to came. Our town council has agreed to build 6500 new homes in this area. The Feds and the Province have bribed them with nearly 6.5 million. All that is required is build all these home within eight years. Depending upon how many people will be living in these new houses our population will increase to 48,367 or 74,367. That many people will surly bring a criminal percent with it.
I forgot to mention we already have a goodly number of homeless people living in our parks. My border can see them when he goes for walks and avoids the discarded needles.
