The Official Toronto Discussion Thread

[Nkrumah Was Right]

I understand why federal Tories would lie, saying that COVID protocols are causing Pearson's dysfunction (goes well with the base that will vote in their leadership race). Also, the recommendation that they should pay people better in Toronto might not jive with Conservative membership in Alberta


What are the Liberals gonna do? The federal gov't hasn't directly controlled airports since the mid 90s. I guess when the compensation claims come in, they'll bail them out. Canadian governments like rewarding incompetence.

Fun fact, a second international airport for the GTA in Pickering has been on the drawing board since 1972!

Toronto police warns officers: Brace for ‘challenging’ reaction to new race-based data on force, strip searches

Toronto police are set to release race-based statistics on officer use of force and strip-searches on Wednesday; the results will “lead some people to question the hard work you do every day,” an internal memo warns.

On the eve of the release of race-based statistics on police officer use of force and strip-searching — findings that “reaffirm the existence of systemic racism” within the force — Toronto police is warning its employees that “challenging” days are ahead.

Two major Toronto police reports are set to be released Wednesday: race-based statistics on the use of force and strip-searching by officers, and the results of an external review into workplace harassment within the force.

In an internal message sent Saturday and obtained by the Star, Toronto police informed its employees that the race-based data will prompt discussion “about the extent to which systemic racism has led to differential treatment of racial groups by our service.”

The weeks that follow “will be challenging,” police said, and the results will “lead some people to question the hard work you do every day,” the internal police message said.

“Our members will be supported and our public comments will emphasize that this exercise is about systemic racism within systems and processes and not about overt racism by our members,” the internal message said.

Toronto police chief James Ramer is scheduled to speak at a press conference Wednesday to address the never-before-seen statistics, which compile race-based data from 2020 on officer use of force and strip searches.

A spokesperson for the police declined to comment Monday on the internal message sent to officers.

The release of the use of force data, which was mandated by the province in 2019, comes after two groundbreaking reports by the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) that found Black Torontonians were “grossly overrepresented” in cases in which police have used force.

You may have noticed but we’ve been following America’s lead on relaxing COVID as they are our biggest market. We’ve got no choice to abide by their protocols. That’s why those truckers were so foolish.

Even if Canada loosed restrictions on them, America still had theirs up so they wouldn’t be able to deliver goods inside the US anyway.

Federal Public Servants who were put on leave without pay for refusing to get vaccinated will be told to return to work. They stood their ground and they won. They avoided the pump fake, and all the threats about being terminated for just cause. @Malcolmxxx_23
