And that is exactly why they're all closet fascists. Facts eventually become an impossible obstacle to overcome...of course, they can always find some leftist willing to contort the facts and statistics to say otherwise...then quote the hell out of it and ostracize those who point out the glaring discrepancies... Kinda reminds me of that drunk "Tommy Boy" on here who gets his daily talking points from Krugman and dismisses out of hand anything on Breitbart and Zero Hedge.
Huh? "On 12 September, Pistorius was found guilty of culpable homicide and one firearm-related charge, of reckless endangerment related to discharging a firearm in a restaurant. He was found not guilty of two firearm-related charges relating to illegal possession of ammunition and firing a firearm through the sunroof of a car.[10][11][12] On 21 October 2014, he received a prison sentence of a maximum of five years for culpable homicide and a concurrent three year suspended prison sentence for the separate reckless endangerment conviction.[13][14] Judge Thokozile Masipa ruled on 10 December that the prosecution could challenge her ruling of acquitting Pistorius of premeditated murder and the lesser murder charge of dolus eventualis, also known as common-law murder. However, she ruled that the state could not appeal the length of sentence. The case will now go in front of a five person panel at the Supreme Court of Appeal." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Pistorius#Killing_of_Reeva_Steenkamp It was ruled a homicide by the judicial system because there was no proof that the shooting was premeditated - which would make it a murder rather than a homicide. Likewise the lesser charge of manslaughter was ruled out because the shooting was clearly not accidental.

Interesting theory but not really accurate. These kind of arguments are similar to those you hear from those that hate universal health care and gun control. The reality is we do a few things different then the US and in some areas we are far more successful for it. There are of course problems as any decent size country will have, just far less of them in these areas then in the US. And the statistics aren't even close, so debating the relative merits of one set of policies or another is futile beyond the misguided idea that you can't do it in the US. Is a safer, more tolerant population with a health safety net a good thing ? I'd say so. The US does one thing better then any country, creating wealth for it's citizens. Unfortunately, even that is getting messed up these days, as the top 1% is now hogging so much of your countries rewards it's a problem. And to be fair, Canada has imported some of this characteristic the last 10-15 years, to it's detriment as well.
Don't be manipulated into defending Canada. Regardless of whether Canada is the best or worst nation in the world has nothing to do with the levels of xenophobia and white supremacism in the US. None of these people are old enough to have seen this before. This helps to account in part for the content and intensity and duration of the rants.
