The source of Toronto's problems....

The source of Toronto's violence is the Jamaican community. Bruce Garvey of the National Post looks at Jamaica's 'born fi dead' culture.

What nobody is talking about, however, is where those involved in violent crimes are predominantly coming from. While we know that the vast majority of Toronto's killers and victims are black, our multicultural hyper-sensitivity forbids any further racial or national breakdown. But even with a lack of statistics to prove it on paper, it is widely -- if quietly -- acknowledged that a disproportionate number of criminals and victims hail from Jamaica.

To understand why that is, it helps to understand the place that they come from.

By early September, the Caribbean island --with roughly the same population as Toronto, had recorded 1,157 murders, almost all of them involving guns. It was the country's highest ever by that date, and well on track to top 1,500 by the end of the year, eclipsing last year's total of 1,469.

It's staggering. In June alone, just when Toronto was beginning its long, hot summer, there were 115 killings in Jamaica.

Shouldn't we be limiting immigration from Jamaica?
