While Premier Dalton McGuinty has suggested in the past he was open to the idea, he now says bringing ultimate fighting to the province is not a priority.

MMA fighting has a strong fan base in Ontario, but has long been banned in the province because it’s considered to be “prize fighting” and is thereby illegal under the federal Criminal Code.

It can be licensed by provincial athletics commissions however – something that has happened in various provinces and U.S. states.

MMA is one of the world’s fastest-growing spectator sports and the UFC has claimed an event in Toronto could generate $4 million in tax revenue.

But while McGuinty insists creating jobs and strengthening the economy are his key priorities, he says he’d rather do that through tax reforms, infrastructure investments and early learning.

McGuinty is now at the top of my IDIOT list !!

we asked the question whether he was guilty or not guilty .

eric tillman guilty or not guilty ?

He has now resigned as Saskatchewan Roughriders general manager four days after pleading guilty to the sexual assault of a 16-year-old babysitter .

Tillman’s defence lawyer, Aaron Fox argued Tillman’s behaviour was fuelled by a bad combination of sleeping pills and muscle relaxants to combat a sore back.

Judge Murray Hinds gave Tillman an absolute discharge, calling the behaviour that day

“out of character for him and that no further steps are required to deter or rebilitate (him) to protect society.”

Wow you mean after all these months thats what it came down to ? Would i have gotten the same sentence ?

What will it take for the leafs to win ??

Dwayne De Rosario and Amado Guevara scored three minutes apart as TFC picked up its first-ever win against New England in six tries.

It was the first time all season Toronto, 4-3-4, has scored more than one goal at home.

With the win, Toronto vaults back to the top of the Eastern Conference standings of Major League Soccer. It’s likely a short stay, however, with a host of games tonight.

They were out scored in the series 15-5

Tue. 05/19: BOS 2, TOR 1

“We’re in first place,” Blue Jays first baseman Kevin Millar said after the club’s 5-1 loss in Boston on Thursday night. “The positive is we’re in first place. We were coming out of here in first place regardless.”

Toronto is still listed at the top of the American League East standings .. should we be panicking .. is this a sign of things to come ?

In this series the bats were quiet and the pitching wasnt that good either and The Toronto Blue Jays have already made some changes by recalling pitcher Casey Janssen and utility infielder Joe Inglett effective today. The club announced it will also recall rookie right-hander Ricky Romero in time to make his scheduled start next Tuesday.

Sure they had a nice little run at the end of the season but as is usually the case with those Raptors its too little too late ..

Can they do it ? I certainly think so …

Toronto police allege two young men from Stoney Creek were sitting in the stands at BMO Field during the TFC-Chivas USA game when they each ignited a flare torch and threw them toward the soccer pitch.

“One flare landed on a woman’s thigh, burning through her pants and causing a burn to her thigh,” said a news release issued Thursday. “The second torch landed on the artificial turf, causing a section to ignite, causing approximately $2,000 damage.”

After the incident, which happened in the second half of Toronto’s 1-0 victory, “the two accused attempted to flee but were apprehended by police and security officers assigned to the game,” according to the news release.

While play continued, fans identified the two young men and appeared to even help restrain them, leading to a quick arrest.

Andjelo Franjic, 18, and a 17-year-old who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, face four charges:

- possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose;

- assault with a weapon;

- assault causing bodily harm;

- mischief under $5,000.

Send them to jail thats what i say … we dont want any football holligans in the tdot ..
