that will fund in part extra special constables and programs to help those who often live, or at least spend much of their day, seeking shelter on the TTC.
“Mayor Tory’s decision to increase the $1.1-billion police budget is neither the fact based nor most effective way to combatting crime,” Matlow said in a statement. These are all things the city funds as well and will fund further as part of the police and TTC proposals. The activists will say Tory’s proposals aren’t good enough, that more needs to be done to address the root causes of crime.

We will need to see bail and parole compliance become part of a priority for the police service again.
