Vic Toews. Covering his ass against a light westerly

Stop the presses! Stop the presses! Vic Toews is making an announcement!!!

Public Safety Minister Vic Toews announced almost $90,000 in government funding today for security infrastructure for six religious organizations in the Toronto area.

Wow! Almost hard to disagree with until you realize that he didn't identify the groups and the money won't even pay the wages of an executive director for two groups, much less six.

So, what's the big deal?

Hmmm. How about the fact that in Canada the largest single group suffering from an increase in hate crimes were homosexual men?

How much did any of the organizations which combat those crimes get?

Zero.

You will now use The Force and read Montreal Simon.
