Bargnani signs Contract Extension & Raps Trade Marion

Toronto Raptors Center Andrea Bargnani signs to a Contract Extension

Raptors Center Andrea Bargnani signed a 5 Year Contract Extension worth $50 million which means he will be receiving $10 million a year. Last season, Andrea Bargnani averaged averaged career highs of 15.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.24 blocked a game.

In other news...

Toronto Raptors sent Shawn Marion to the Dallas Mavericks in a sign-and-trade deal. Shawn Marion will be receiving $40 million for 5 years. In return the Raptors will receive $3 million dollars in salary cap which is the maximum amount.

I honestly like the extension we gave Bargnani and also like the fact that we got rid of Shawn Marion and received some money for him. This money will give us a chance to pick up more free agents this off season. Now I'm just waiting for Bryan Colangelo to official sign Hedo Turkoglu.

When will it end: Day 16 of Garbage Strike

3 comments

"Temporarily out of service, please do not litter"

LOL @ please do not litter? they can't be serious. Where do u expect people to put their garbage if they are not allowed to put it where it's suppose to go?

Click continue reading for pics & more.

So it's day 16 and it doesn't seem like they are making any progress with this garbage strike. Our city is getting smellier and smellier everyday. I refuse to go downtown because of the state it is in right now. Just leaving my house to go outside to get some fresh air and knowing I'm going to be inhaling the smell of garbage disgusts me. We've just recently beat our record with 16 straight days of this strike since back in 2002, when I heard that on the news I was thinking in my head this news reporter can't be serious, she was saying it like it was something to glorify and be proud of. Now I'm hearing that our great Mayor is telling us to put our garbage on sidewalks so that civic workers will be forced to go back to work, how bout giving them what they want so stuff like this won't happen. The fact that I'm hearing civic workers aren't even complaining about pay makes this situation even worse. I just heard that Centerville has been closed by the city and that Caribana might be a no go this summer. If they cancel Caribana I hope the city will be prepared for a mini Watts type riot (search L.A. riots if you don't know what I'm talking about). David Miller better think twice about canceling Caribana, he better think about how much money the city will lose from tourists that weekend, I doubt he realizes the bad reputation that Toronto is getting at the moment. A friend had told me yesterday that American's are being told not to come to our city because of this garbage strike. This strike is supposedly going to last til September, I would hate to see how this city is going to look in 2 months.

More Police placed in Toronto High Schools

"I think you'd have to be pretty stupid to commit a crime when there's a police officer present."

- Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair

Continue reading for my personal thoughts...

To be completely real, I know when I was a teen I would of hated the idea of uniformed police walking around the halls of my high school. I guess growing up I never grew to trust in the Toronto Police system, to this very day even when I’m completely innocent I feel unease and uncomfortable when I know police are around me. It’s funny that the people that make me feel uncomfortable are the ones hired to serve and protect. My uneasiness around the boys in blue throughout my life is probably due to a few reasons that I can think off the top of my head;

- Growing up my peers, rap songs, and many different movies depicted police as being crooked, not trust worthy, or racist.
- Throughout my adolescence to ‘’like’’ the police was never socially acceptable and you would probably be labelled a snitch.
- Personal encounters with the Toronto police during my adolescence definitely had a big influence on my views towards them, more negative than positive which only supported the belief that police were assholes.
- In high school most police I encountered or seen were Caucasian and for some reason or another I felt as if most of them didn’t like dealing with black youths.
- And one specific situation comes to thought; in my third year of high school a friend of mine was wrongfully shot and killed by a Toronto police officer, it always weighed on my mind.

Now that I have grown up a bit I have definitely had much more positive encounters with the Toronto Police, don’t get me wrong I still believe that many officers get corrupted through job experiences and take advantage of the power given to them but I must say I have met many good and reliable police officers. I believe that inserting uniformed officers in Toronto high schools will definitely decrease the level of violence and crimes within the schools. But I think that these officers that are being placed within the high school environment should be specially trained to deal with teens and young adults; they should be equipped with a unique sense of understanding and dealing with high schools students. Their goal should not only be to prevent violence and crime or to even protect but they should focus on growing relationships with students especially the ones that tend to cause more trouble than good. I thinki it's important for police to learn to understand today's youth and the youth need to learn to understand today's police. This will help demolish negative sterotypes and help mend a bad relationship between police and the cities youth.

Now thinking about it maybe if my high school had officers inserted within the educational environment and I was able to grow to know the people behind the uniform maybe I wouldn’t be so uncomfortable and unease around them today.

Tornados in Toronto?

Several funnel clouds were spotted today in areas east of Toronto. No funnels clouds actually touched down but what the hell is going on?

Only in the past couple summers now that funnel clouds have been appearing in the skies around the city, because I definitely don't remember any Tornado warnings more than three years ago... Just imagine if a toronado's actually landed and hit the downtown core, its pretty much impossible but that would be pretty messed up.
