McGuinty eyes race stats - Star Nov.15th.

Finally, some sensible ideas on youth crime from a politician. Making racial statistics taboo might have seemed like a non-discriminating policy at the time, but all it really does is blindfolding police and authorities, making it harder to zero in on the real issues and problem areas. Only when these problems are freely acknowledged by the authorities, as well as the affected parties, can something be effectively done, both through policing efforts and preventive social programs. Better than banning guns and closing down gun club shooting ranges.

It won't make it easy, but it will be a step in the right direction
