Message from the Governor General of Canada on Canadian Multiculturalism Day Français
Multiculturalism is one of Canada's greatest strengths; the very essence of our shared identity.
Our commitment to inclusion is deeply personal to me; in my installation speech, I pledged "to be there for all Canadians," and that promise guides my every action. Building a truly inclusive society is a continuous and vital undertaking.
On this Canadian Multiculturalism Day, let us celebrate our differences and embrace our shared values to continue to build a Canada where everyone is empowered to contribute to a better tomorrow.
Happy Canadian Multiculturalism Day!

A killer who ONLY murdered one person has to do the full 25? Again, cruel and unusual. He should get a discount for only murdering one luckless individual. Violent youthful offenders should not feel the full weight of the law; again, because that would be 'cruel and unusual.' Tough to get bail and conditions? 'Cruel and unusual.' GIVE 'EM A BREAK: The Supreme Court of Canada in Ottawa is pictured on Friday, March 29, 2024. Photo by Ashley Fraser / Postmedia Network But the phrase 'cruel and unusual' is never, ever used when we are discussing murder victims or crime victims of any stripe. Victims like eight-year-old boy JahVai Roy, murdered by a stray bullet early Saturday morning in North York. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

And we have the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, Richard Wagner, moaning and sobbing that his fellow Canadians just don't understand. How wise they are, how just, how exquisitely fair. How absolutely goddamn fantastic our robed great and good truly are. JahVai Roy, 8, was struck and killed by a stray bullet while sleeping in his North York home. HANDOUT Why the Chief Justice is so infallible that some generous soul sprang for a bust of this God-like figure. The shameless ego of this so-called man of law is breathtaking. But that little boy who won't see his ninth birthday? Who will never play another game of baseball, soccer or hockey? Who will never marry, have children or grow old with a lifetime of wonderful memories? Abdoul Aziz Sarr, 14, of Toronto, was stabbed to death at a McDonald's in the Beaches on Saturday, July 5, 2025. Photo by Handout / Toronto Police A few eggs sometimes need to be broken in pursuit of woke Nirvana, the Supreme Court will tell us. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. That little boy in the morgue was sleeping in his bed, a place of sanctuary, when terror struck. A stray bullet hit the little guy in the head, killing him at his apartment building at Martha Eaton Way and Trethewey Dr. near Black Creek Dr. in the city's north end. Despite heroic efforts by cops and paramedics, the boy was later pronounced dead in the hospital. Officers allegedly seized two loaded handguns with over-capacity magazines, ammunition, and an assortment of suspected cocaine, MDMA and fentanyl during a search of a Whitby home on Tuesday, June 24, 2025. Photo by Handout / Ontario Provincial Police 'It's an unimaginably tragic event that has occurred here,' Det. Sgt. Jason Davis told reporters while providing an update from the scene on Saturday morning. 'What's happened here is a cowardly, disgusting act of violence, and every resource available in the city is being allocated to this right now.' So far, cops have not released any descriptions of the killers. They did say two other units in the building were hit by bullets as well. Thankfully, there were no injuries.

Photo by JACK BOLAND / TORONTO SUN Read More Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw said he was 'heartbroken by the tragic loss' and that 'no family should endure this.' The chief said every resource the cops have is committed to nabbing the killers. Believe it. In homicide parlance, this is a red ball. The killers will be in handcuffs inside a week or two, too hot even for others in the criminal milieu. And when these monsters are busted? We will likely find the answers as we suspect. It will be a combination of horrors. Soft gun laws, easy bail, hug a thug for teen terrors, easy prison time with a small army of social workers and judges to kiss it better. That eight-year-old citizen of this city, so coldly murdered, had every right to feel safe in his bed and look forward to the promise of a rich life. The killer who took his life may have squeezed the trigger, but a Canadian justice system that doesn't give a whit for murder victims, young, old, rich or poor? They provided the bullets. bhunter@ On X: @HunterTOSun RECOMMENDED VIDEO Crime Toronto & GTA Toronto Blue Jays Sunshine Girls Toronto Blue Jays
