[OT] Toronto police urge car owners to make things easy for car thieves

Car theft is rampant in Toronto these days. It's gotten so bad that
thieves are using crowbars and similar tools to break into people's
homes so that they can access the keys to the vehicles they are trying
to steal.

The TPS (Toronto Police Service) is on the job! After due
consideration, they've come up with a plan: make it easy for thieves to
get your keys so that you don't get hurt by home-invading thieves!!
They're literally giving out this advice at public meetings. And
Torontonians are following this advice by putting up signs at their
doors telling thieves that their house doors are unlocked and the keys
are right by the door!!!

It was only a few weeks ago that I saw a senior police official warn
Mayor Olivia Chow that the police *MUST* be given the increase they
were demanding in the budget or else there would be major cuts in
service. Chow gave them the increase despite an already large tax
increase that was going to anger a lot of voters. It also came just a
few weeks after Trudeau convened an emergency summit on car theft and
spouted his usual blather about how his government would step up and
solve the problem.

I can hardly imagine the TPS giving LESS service than what they are now
offering. This is the same police force that only a few weeks ago gave
pro-Palestinian demonstrators that were illegally blocking a major road
and intimidating a nearby Jewish neighbourhood coffee and doughnuts
rather than enforcing the law.

It's becoming clear whose side the police are on in Toronto (and in the
UK but that's a different rant) and that's the criminals.

I hope all the car thieves are happy with how the police have made
their job easier. I'm expecting burglars to also send their heartfelt
thanks to the police since it should now be considerably easier to get
into people's houses to steal their belongings. Maybe the rapists who
now find it trivial to enter homes and have their way with the
occupants will also send a fruit basket to the police.

This should ensure the end of Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party.
Apparently, the polls are already showing support for his party
dropping significantly. (Apparently, every single Toronto riding voted
Liberal in the last election.)

I know Americans will be dumbfounded by this and not understand why we
don't do the obvious thing and buy guns to defend what's ours but we've
let Trudeau make it so much harder to get a gun than it already was
that it's almost unthinkable now.

The next federal election cannot come soon enough!!!!
