Between the TPS, DRPS, Peel Region, especially the OPP et al, THEY are ultimately responsible for Canadian tariffs and soon the collapse of Ontario.

They can spread hatred against America and encourage violence against Americans, as they did covertly at IBM. They can continue to destroy citizens, apply nepotism in our economy and manufacture threats to destroy our reputation around the globe.

They CANNOT deal with American leaders who know what is going on and decide they aren't going to allow these abusers to harm America any further.



“Communities want safety built on fairness, accountability, and respect,” it continues. “Service Members want leadership that supports, listens, and leads with integrity. Both groups called for lasting cultural change and genuine partnership, not symbolic gestures.”
Internally, officers feel “disconnected” from leadership, the report found. There is a desire for “human communication, not bureaucratic messaging” from senior brass.
With the public, there are concerns over community safety and security, a lack of trust in police and a need for “culturally grounded, trauma-informed engagement” with Indigenous, Black and Queer communities.

Indeed, community members expressed many of the same frustrations as officers and civilian staff who provided input for the report, which will be used to guide the board in developing its strategic plan for the service, now mandatory under the Community Safety and Policing Act.
“This process has revealed both pride and pain,” police board chair Shelley Carroll says in the report. “We heard stories of dedicated officers serving with integrity and care ... We also heard about the deep wounds that remain — the legacy of systemic racism, a decade of austerity and cuts, and the real consequences of an organizational culture that has not always lived up to its highest ideals.”


Acknowledging these truths is “the foundation of real progress.”
“What we’ve seen in this report from the board is nothing new to us,” Clayton Campbell, president of the Toronto Police Association, said in an interview. Officer concerns “have been festering for, quite frankly, years. But this is the first time that I’m aware of the police services board actually engaged our members — hundreds of our members, not only in surveys, but one one-on-one meetings — to dig into this.
 
Coppers need to know that the Sovereign has their back. You cannot enforce the law and be worried about hurting the feelings of foreigners who come to your country and reject its historical values.

The most fundamental obligation of Government is keeping the People safe in their homes and in the streets.
