So the City of Montreal just announced a new chief of police. He's got a good rep, even with some the harshest critics of the SPVM. I really hope he can fix the mess.
.. meanwhile they just announced that, whoopsies, they've gone 10s of millions over budget again. FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW.
@Camerondotca 💯 that goes for most cities in 🇨🇦 i think. if we were under any illusions about who the police in this country protect, the freedumb convoy helped shatter them entirely.
Because holy shit it's a mess. We have the most police per capita of any city in Canada. Around 70% of us don't trust them. A high percentage of us (this is sort of a self-selected sample so I won't pretend it's a perfect number) want to defund/or at least look at reallocating their money. Something like 70%+ of the police don't live in the City they police. And the Brotherhood of police men and women (no, I"m not kidding) seems to run the show.
