Somali communities are riddled with crime and murder through gangs and otherwise. Apart from the failed country of Somalia itself, Seattle and Minneapolis took in many, as an act of kindness, and they have murder sprees in that community coming out the wazoo. Drugs, fraud, theft, violent crime. Maybe these Somali 'leaders' from Toronto, whoever they are, should be working on why their communities work this way. In the US these communities are notorious for not speaking to the cops about their own, they protect those who kill their own people. Others should be asking why let them in if they continue as they used to live back home. There's no point moving violence from there to here, and in large part because why should the rest of us pay for it
Evidently not worried enough to help police. Next we'll be hearing about how racist police don't want to solve these crimes even though "victims are not cooperating with police" and "nobody in 'the community' knows anything". Same with Ottawa shootings, Toronto gang homicides.
Bringing immigrants into Canada who cannot and/or will not assimilate brings this kind of behaviour.This just a taste of the future. Our deportation policy needs to be toughenend. The government also needs to be tough on lawless immigrants!
Block the import of these damaged immigrants: They are not greatful to move to a quieter place, they just load up on benefits, many don't speak English nor French or work, even after years here, they continue to live as they did in their failed country. So stop bringing them in. Bringing more peaceful people in.
I'm not saying this to be snide or racist, but guess who's behind all the recent shootings here in Ottawa too... With no decent jobs waiting here in Canada for many Somalis when we then arrive, what do people expect to happen? They come from a very violent place so getting their hands on a gun here, selling drugs and getting in the occasional dust up is nothing for them. Maybe something the government should think about before admitting them to Canada?
Multiculturalism, along with political correctness is the bane of all democracies.
Close the doors to Canada. Such a large volume of immigrants over such a short period of time just contributes to ethnic ghettos. Somalia is a country with no laws, why are we accepting immigrants from a lawless, failed state?
Did anyone really think taking a people steeped in violent tribalism and aggressive religiosity and transplanting them into a First World nation would work out well?
Chances are a Somali was the murderer. Their community protects the bad guys.
Just like Dahir Aweys and the recent guy who surrendered to his kinsmenThese people come to our country and then segregate themselves into "communities".
They are barbaric and violent and are a burden on our resources, including health care.
Bottom of the barrel, stupid Canadians let them continue. That's what you get for importing some aliens.

This message is for you.
Who do Somalians think they are that they think they can come to this country, Canada, and behave in the lawless ways of Somalia? Your Somalian youth gang members are doing a lot of damage to the Canadian-Somalian immigrant communities. It is your job as parents, grandparents, the elderly, etc. to teach your children not to kill, maim or hurt others. Innocent Canadians are getting killed because of the gangs in the Somalian-Canadian and other immigrant communities.
I lived in Ottawa for a number of years and in one week I had disagreements/arguments with three Somalians. I NEVER get into disagreements with ANYONE and in one week I get into three verbal fights with Somalians. This problem is not just in Calgary or in Toronto. It is everywhere in Canada! Educate your Somalian children for crying out loud!
I am going to contact my federal MP and ask that politicians start looking into getting the Canadian immigration department to start deporting immigrants who get involved in criminal behaviour. I think whole families of criminals should also be deported. If you can't adjust to peaceful Canadian life then you have no business here.

More of the wonders of multiculturalism. And surprise, surprise --- "Many of them are not cooperating"
So worried they won't cooperate with police ?
Yeah, Toronto Somalis are worried that these guys are coming back to Dixon Road...there just aren't too many jobs around for Pirates these days.
Expect the same after the 1,069 Syrian refugees get settled in. What's wrong with Canada these days, have we lost all common sense?
This is what happens when you never want to work, never did work, move to Calgary to sell drugs. No surprise here. Wake up people, this is the reality of today.
Little Mogadishu.
The Somali community does seem a violent one in Canada.
Why does Canada continue to allow immigration from places well known for criminal gangs? How far will we take political correctness? We now have gang problems in all our major cities thanks to immigration policy.
After they get tired of killing each other they will join ISIL so they can behead aid workers and rape women.
Of the 3 dozen Somali men killed in Alberta how many were work related accidents? Yeah that's what I thought too.
And I suppose the Canadian Taxpayers are on the hook for the medical bills of the wounded, who won't tell the Police who shot them.
My message to the Somali communities across Canada is this - welcome to our country, we will attempt to give you everything that you need to be successful here - a home, food, education, medical care, community centers and parks for you and your family to gather and play in - and yes we will also train you for employment giving you a future here in Canada. However if your communities are going to plan aggression against each other from coast to coast, then you will be told to leave this country and never to return. Canadians have enough of our own problems to deal with - we don't need to import them
To paraphrase that old saying, you can take the boy out of Mogadishu but you cannot take the Mogadishu out of the boy. Thugs shooting thugs.......... go figure.
I am,Somali parenting is non-existent
