Kingston police arrest man who told kids Santa isn’t real Published on Tuesday November 20, 2012 ANDREW FRANCIS WALLACE/TORONTO STAR Santa Claus appears during The Santa Claus Parade on November 18, 2012. Sarah Taguiam
In Kingston, it’s not the Grinch but a 24-year-old man who police say stole Christmas.
An hour into the city’s Santa Parade on Saturday, as Christmas-themed floats slowly travelled down Princess St., the voice of a man yelling at startled children that Santa Claus doesn’t exist was heard over the crowd.
The man, whose gelled hair “looked like a set of devil horns protruding from his head,” was reported to Kingston police, Const. Steve Koopman said.
Police arrested arrested a 24-year-old man around 6 p.m.
“It was pretty despicable that someone, during this time of the year, would tell kids Santa isn’t real — which of course we would argue,” Koopman said.
Kingston residents went to Twitter and Facebook to express their outrage.
“It irritates me when things like this happen … let a kid be a kid,” said a Twitter user named Kim V.
Others called the man a Grinch and wondered if he would receive coal in his stocking for Christmas.
The man is facing public intoxication charges and breach of probation.
Blair defends ticketing homeless as enforcing the law

TORONTO - Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair said officers are not targeting passive panhandlers — only the aggressive ones.
Blair defended the provincial Safe Streets Act as a way to protect the public from harassment by panhandlers after Sanctuary Toronto mission worker Greg Cook asked the Toronto Police Service Board to curtail the practice at its meeting Friday.
Cook cited police handing out Safe Streets Act tickets to the homeless has doubled in the past six years to around 15,500, but only $34,980 of the $831,774 worth in tickets have been paid.
He suggested cutting the tickets in half would not only make panhandlers feel less targeted by officers, but also save the police $190,000. Cook also wants police to stop demanding panhandlers to show identification.
“It just set the narrative that anyone who is poor, doesn’t have housing, is on Ontario Works or (receives disability support payments) is a big problem,” Cook said. “I think because of the recession, there’s more people on the street and more people using shelters and so, you’re probably getting more complaints.”
But Blair said his officers are just enforcing the law.
“To panhandle aggressively is an offence under the Safe Streets Act in locations where people can’t leave — standing at a bus stop or outside of a bank ATM,” Blair said after the meeting. “Panhandling on the roadways can interfere with the flow of traffic and cause people to feel unsafe. A person just sitting passively on the street is not committing an offence.”
Councillor Michael Thompson said the city spends millions of dollars on homeless and while “it’s never enough,” he doesn’t believe police should overlook handing out tickets.
“To simply suggest police should reduce their activities, I wouldn’t support that, but I would support providing these services,” he said. “There is a need for balance.”
Blair called homelessness a “difficult social issue,” but was quick to say it wasn’t a criminal problem.
“The solution to homeless is good housing, but there are unfortunately people who may or may not be homeless,” he said. “There are some aggressive behaviours which have been identified as offences.”

Elderly couple bound, robbed of Christmas presents Suspects stole Christmas presents, assaulted homeowners say police CBC News Posted: Dec 24, 2012 11:54 AM ET Last Updated: Dec 24, 2012 7:22 PM ET
York Regional Police are searching for two men involved in a violent home invasion robbery in Vaughan in which two elderly residents were tied up and assaulted as thieves stole their Christmas presents.
Police were called to a home on Jeanne Drive, near Willis Road and Pine Valley Drive, in Vaughan at around 4:30 a.m. on Saturday. Two armed men broke into the home at 3 a.m. with a blunt, metal object.
The victims were 78-year-old Sam Iantorno and his 75-year-old wife. Iantorno remains in hospital with non-life-threatening head injuries, though his wife has been released from hospital.
"It's going to be a tough Christmas," Iantorno's daughter, Anne, told CBC News. "I'm sick to my stomach they would actually do something like this to anybody, especially the elderly, who … [are] just trying to live their life at Christmas time."
Police say the suspects entered through a side door. They don't believe entry was forced, but say the lock may not have been working.
The elderly homeowners complied when the suspects demanded cash and jewelry. The couple was then tied up with clothing as the men ransacked the house and took all the presents from underneath the Christmas tree.
"They took presents. Nephews' presents, grandchildren's presents," a family member said outside the hospital.
The robbers told the elderly victims that if they tried to call the police, they would kill them.
Eventually they untied themselves and fled to a neighbour's house to call the police.
The investigation is ongoing and police are asking anyone with any information to call 1-866-867-5423 ext. 6630 or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
到了第二年，换了一个老师，情况就变遭了。我能感觉到老师不喜欢我的女儿。例如，老师向我抱怨过：孩子不说话，甚至连Hi，Thank you 都不说。老师还当面指责过我：有没有教过孩子礼貌这个东西。我向老师解释：孩子怕生，您越逼她她就越不说。但是，情况没有好转。我的孩子没有当值日的机会。每天上学排队进入教室时，到了门口老师都会和孩子们打个招呼。但是老师却会直接跳过，完全无视我的女儿。
隔三差五的就到校长办公室去找校长查询。我对女儿的班主任提出了要求：1. 必须按照规定，安排我的女儿当值日生。2. 老师应该和我的二女儿打招呼。3.要应该公平地对待我的女儿。终于，有一天我的孩子也有机会当上值日。在班上也能回答问题，讲述小故事，画画，唱歌。后来还获得了一张Student of the Month 的奖状。之后，我们还是离开了那个学校，到另外一个更适合的小学。

Before I came to Canada, everybody in China told me Canada is a free country, there are human rights, freedom, democracy and justice, I was very much looking forward to Canada. After my 20 years’ experience, Idea and things changed dramatically since the year of 2009 when I was first charged fraud by OSC, then the police until the crown attorney successfully secured and convicted me. It took almost 4 years to finish the process and the process was totally unfair.
1, My case is big and well-known internationally, the problem is that I never had a lawyer retained and worked for me， it was very strange and unfair, I, Weizhen Tang, a legally disabled ordinary man was forced to represent myself and defend myself in court where I have to face numerous, well equipped, tax dollar financed, well prepared professionals, at least 10 professionals, is that fair?
2, In the past 4 years, all the investigators, forensic accountant, police, lawyers, crown attorneys, judges all were biased and prejudiced, disabled and isolated me, This was happened exactly like Natasha Smith attacked by a 'group of animals' who stripped her naked.
'Please God, make it stop!'

'I was tossed around like fresh meat among starving lions'
OSC should knew from my trading records in brokerage accounts, bank transactions and found no money, money missing and defrauded, but they continue to use tax payers money and unlimited government resources to keep charging me. OSC frozen my investors’ trading account and my personal money for years, most of money belong to me and from my house backed line of credit, it is not investors’ money, more so not anything fraud, this fund could be used for my living expenses and defense in the last three years, but OSC destroyed my (family ) life and my defense on purpose and made all hard and difficult for me and my family and my investors, OSC made me have no lawyer (s).
3, The crown attorney could not find any meaningful evidences, the defrauded money, they mislead the public and lying to the public said that I defrauded 60 million dollars and mislead the public that the investors ‘ loss and suffering, the financial impacts are all my fault, not because of the market meltdown, as crown attorneys who investigated financial fraud, they should know that 2008 financial tsunami was caused by greedy and massive fraud of the banks, millions of investors lost trillions of dollars in a single year and lost millions of homes and families, million lives were destroyed, why the crown attorney and investigators to investigate the banks and registered financial institutions and the system, the src creators of the crisis and find out where were the investors’ money gone and who took investors’ money, which I am certain that I did not take it, but to investigate and charge me, the victim.
第三， 检控官找不到有利的证据，诈骗的钱在哪里，他们仍然误导公众我诈骗6000万，并误导公众投资人的痛苦和损失是我诈骗造成的，而不是市场原因，作为一个检控官，他们应该知道2008年金融海啸是银行的贪婪所造成，当时有数千万人损失，很多人家破人亡，为什么检控官Macdonald Gavin and Robert Gattrel 不去监控银行，反而，监控我受害人，2008年的金融海啸损失超过数万，数万亿，为什么证券会不去追查投资人损失的钱到谁哪里去了，谁拿走聊投资人的钱，这些钱我肯定没有拿过。
4, The crown could not find any money and fraud, mislead the jury that I used investors’ money to pay my credit card of a few thousand dollars, is that not a joke, the credit card which a business credit and was for business. During the financial tsunami, turmoil, all the bank fund managers charges investors, while my normal operation expenses became fraud, a private manager managed over tens of million dollars and entitled to collect million dollars management fee over the three years, I collected nothing from investors and instead of collection and charges of fee, I gave my own money, personal savings of over a million dollars to my investors when the Oversea Chinese Fund Limited partnership was sinking and I successfully fixed the sinking ship, the crown did not see that and mislead the jury to convict me fraud of millions of dollars, not a minus million.
5, The crown said I defrauded 52 million dollars, some times said 60 million dollars, and 2.82 million dollars, or OSC said 30 million dollars, 70 million dollars, or only over $5000, SEC had other numbers, I ‘d like to demand the crown attorney who investigated for years tell me and the public exactly how much? Is it over $5000, 50 million dollars or minus 50 million, how did you came up with the number and where is the money?
第五， 检控官说诈骗5000万，6000万，又是5000以上，我不知道我究竟诈骗多少钱，我强烈要求检控官告诉我和公众具体数字，几千还是几千万，钱在哪里，怎么算出来的。 6, OSC and Crown attorney never cared about investors and investors ‘ plan before, now the crown would like to give a fine of 2.84 million dollars to me to pay investors, where is the crown number came from, where is the money, did the crown have the money frozen somewhere? Where is it? The crown can not just lie in court and mislead the public. If there is no money, would government pay investors after spent and wasted tax payers millions to prosecute an innocent disabled businessman.
7, The crown attorney and all judges are biased and prejudice who isolated me from my investors and partners who are my own old connections, friends, some are successful businessman and businesswomen, millionaires in order to cut off my finance and legal resources so I do not have lawyers.
8, I wrote a book, hosted North Chinese Wealth Summit in Toronto, Chinese New Year Shows in Toronto, April 13 Ottawa Rally and A promise of 1% weekly return are criminal activities and should be jailed?
