Project Cheddar?!? Cops think they're funny...
In recent months, Toronto Police say undercover officers have seized 10 kilos of cocaine worth upwards of $2 million during an operation dubbed Project Cheddar. That operation culminated Wednesday night when police said officers intercepted "certain evidence" in the downtown core.
"Arrests were made and a series of search warrants followed," Det.-Sgt. Doug Quan, head of the integrated Toronto Police gun and gang task force, said yesterday, adding nine homes were raided that night and the next morning.
Project Cheddar -- a collaborative effort that also involved the drug squad, officers from 12 and 23 Divisions as well as the Intelligence Division, and the RCMP -- resulted in 90 charges against nine people and the seizure of six handguns.
Among the seven men and two women arrested was Alejandro Jose "Cheesie" Vivar, 26, the alleged leader of the notorious LA (Latino Americanos) Boys -- a group police claim has risen from a street gang operating in the Christie Pits area to high level drug distributors operating across the city.
Vivar stood trial for first-degree murder in the 2002 gang slaying of Gary Malo, the former ringleader of the Christie Boys who was fatally shot in a west-end bar.
Quan said all of the guns police seized this week were loaded when found, five in homes and one in a vehicle.
One of the firearms was a gold-coloured, .50-calibre Desert Eagle made of titanium -- a massive pistol considered by many experts to be among the most dangerous handguns ever made.
"It's pretty rare," Quan said. "This is the first time I've seen one out there."
Also charged are Manuel Perera, 25, Ken Yu, 25, Carlos Minero, 28, Daniel Tran, 29, Rina Okimawinew, 26, Karina Guajala, 25, all of Toronto, and Wayne Sicard, 41, and Michael Dibble, 25, both of Brockville.

Manifesto recap - PERSONAL OPINION....
I took maybe three pictures.
Ill be more than happy to point you in a direction to view photos if that it the purpose for your visit.
Anyways as I started getting into the whole picture taking thing I had a conversation with my boy about graffiti.
Do I take pics of all the sets or fuck it? FUCK IT Why? Graffiti is meant to be in alleys and at night so when the sun comes up it’s seen, a surprise. Inconspicuous and not a ‘show’ for the city to be able to say 'see, we get down with the urban communities'. These pieces wont even be left near city hall where they were done, they will be brought to a rec center or some unknown location. Of course I am happy that graffiti and its artist and finally getting the recognition it/they deserves and I was happy to watch these people turn nothing into something then change it again into something great. But I'd rather go around Toronto and take pics of pieces for y'all.
Ugh I somewhat feel really 'conscious' when rereading that and it is not meant in that way. I respect the craft and how far it has come but didnt want to take pics in such a mainstream environment.
Oh and thank you Ronnie for helping Keesh figure out what they all said.
Here is a pic just to give you a feel of how it was set up.
Asians working out right downtown. I thought they were dancing...
These kids were so cute, Ill put the video up of them dancing.
Toronto performer. Please note the outfit....this is why I cant support it...ur wearing a baby plaid knapsack and a plaid skirt that has some french maid thing on it, knee high fish nets..
This is about the time we ran to buy beer and drink out of Mickey Dee's cups at city hall. We had to drink if we were going to spend more time listening to 'cause' music and looking at Wu-tang tees.
This is my friend. He is showing me the secret pendant he uses to get all the ladies...did I mention he is Asian? AMAZING.

Homeless women set on fire
Tue Sep 11, 9:40 AM
Toronto police have charged a man and a woman after a 42-year-old homeless woman was set on fire in downtown Toronto on Monday night.
Police and emergency crews found the injured woman around 7:30 p.m. on the sidewalk near Bloor Street and Bedford Road. She is in hospital with burns described as significant, but is expected to survive.
Police say two women got into a heated argument. Moments later, a man and a woman attacked the victim, dousing her with flammable liquid and setting her on fire. The victim suffered burns to about 12 per cent of her body, according to a police news release.
It's believed the victim, who has not been identified, knew her attackers.
Police have charged Tina Joy Hartjes, 35, and Oliver Dick, 41, with aggravated assault.
Thats just disgusting. People are pieces of shit.

Shoes, shoes, shoes....

This is something that I tend to forget about and get mad when I remember. The Bata Shoe Museum is located luckily in my hometown. With 10,000+ shoes going back 4,500 years this gets deeper then the first Jordans or shell toes...

I'm in Toronto! err, sort of.


Taking you on a simulated 3-D city excursion, Streets.to is touted as "the world's first and only patent-pending virtual cityscape."
It's purpose: to turn virtual into reality, giving you a comprehensive visual depiction of what one can expect in and around the Greater Toronto Area (aka GTA).
