| The littlest victims: violence and innocence
Last year, nearly 400 people were shot in Newark. Of them, about 300 survived. Five of the survivors were under the age of 10. Two were younger than 5. One was Quadir Hutchins. This is the story of his remarkable recovery. The Sept. 7, 2007 shooting drew headlines and stoked anxiety in a city already accustomed to violence. Quadir, then 3, was the most innocent of victims -- a toddler riding in the back seat of his sister's car on a trip to McDonald's when a gunman opened fire on a muggy Friday afternoon. .
Flaherty denies trying to jinx Ontario
I'm getting the big picture now.
Ontario's economy is going to hades in a handbasket, and nobody can do a thing about it. Flaherty and McGuinty are jockeying for blame assignment, not solutions (there aren't any).
Tory was thrown under a bus INTENTIONALLY; methinks everybody in the PC/CPC knew Ontario was doomed, and were happy to pound McGuinty for a few more years. (the school thing was a 'noble' way to make Tory's campaign die).
The CPC have written off most of Ontario--it's irretrievable in more ways than one.
Flaherty is goofy but actually quite smart; Dalton seems 'okay' but actually has no clue what to do next.
