Lewicowy kanadyjski dziennik "Toronto Star" znany jest z antypolonizmu. Jak sie nadarza okazja aby przywalic Polakom, to "Toronto Star" nigdy sie nie zawaha.
W dzisiejszym wydaniu w sekcji "C" dot. zywnosci, Habeeb Salloum pisze o dobrodziejstwach zup i ich wlasciwosciach odzywczych ("Cherished soups"). Zalaczajac nawet 9 recept na rozne zupy.
Wszysko byloby OK gdyby nie zalaczona do artykulu fotografia bezdomnej, niechlujnie wygladajacej, starszej, zniszczonej i pomarszczonej kobiety, ktora na tle sterty talerzy z lyzka w reku cos tam zajada. Podpis pod zdjeciem:
"A homeless Polish woman eats soup at a food distribution point in Warsaw in January. Soup is full of nourishment".
Pytanie jest dlaczego wlasnie pokazano zdjecie tej brzydkiej i brudnej kobiety z Warszawy do tego artykulu? To tak jakby nie bylo takich bezdomych osob w Toronto? Wystarczy przejsc sie w centrum miasta, a tam dziesiatki podobnych kobiet i mezczyzn zebrajacych i spiacych na chodnikach. Niektore koscioly i przytulki tez serwuja im strawe. Jakie przeslanie niesie to zdjecie w "Toronto Star"?
High hopes dashed in Montreal
RCMP Constable Sylvain Girard shows the high-potency marijuana seeds seized in a drug bust in Montreal - enough to make 42 million joints. The Mounties also announced yesterday they shut down the six websites operated by Heaven's Staiway, which were selling the seeds, and arrested seven people (THE GLOBE AND MAIL, Wednesday, March 1, 2006).
Heist largest in Brit history
Thieves stole 53 million pounds ($106 million Cdn.) during last Wednesday's heist at a security warehouse in London, making it the biggest cash theft in British history, police said yesterday.
Four men have been arrested in south London and the adjoining county of Kent in the previous 24 hours and are being questioned in connection with the robbery. A fifth man has been arrested and released on bail, as were six other suspects detained earlier.
The thieves, who dressed as police officers, stopped a Securitas manager, Colin Dixon, 51, as he drove home from the cash depot last week.
A second group - also dressed as police officers - went to Dixon's home, telling his wife, Lynn, 45, he had been in an accident and taking her away with the couple's nine-year-old son.

Marijuana is not a gateway drug
Re: Authorities Sour On Marijuana Flavoured Sweets, Feb. 24.
Someone should ask drug counsellor Rosemary Munro to cite the "numerous studies" that indicate that marijuana is "a gateway to harder drugs." The best and most recent Canadian report on the subject, the Senate Report on Illegal Drugs: Cannabis, released in September, 2002, tells a different story. Four pages into the report's summary, we can read that the gateway theory "has not been validated by empirical research and is considered outdated." Later, the report states, "Cannabis itself is not a cause of other drug use. In this sense, we reject the gateway theory."
The Senate committee spent two years studying the marijuana issue. Perhaps Ms. Munro should read it.
