A child or youth is shot in Ontario almost every day according to a study by the Institute for Clinical Evaluation Sciences and Toronto's Hospital for sick Children. The study found there was an average of 355 firearm injuries a year between 2008 and 2012. It also found that immigrant children and youth from Africa are three times as likely, and those from Central America, four times as likely to be a victim than their Canadian counterparts.
Whether racially motivated or not, these shootings must end, but it sure as hell won't happen while a system as divisive as capitalism lasts.
