This is all too common across Canada. Police Chiefs are skilled in obfuscating the budgets to their rubber stamp boards. They don’t want any oversight or accountability and very little exists in this kangaroo system.
Madam Mayor you hit the nail on the head. Patrick Brown is the reason for a lot of the issues that Ontario is having right now, including Doug Ford. There is a whole deep chasm when looking at the Conservative movement in Canada. And while no political party or movement is perfect the Manning-Day-Harper realignment is almost to weird to be taken seriously. Thank you for your journalistic venture. This is a breath of fresh air in the modern corporate media landscape. I hope you hold true and when the allure of money is presented to obfuscate the truth you see it for what it is. Best Wishes.
I remember back in the 70's my dad was in court fighting a traffick ticket in Toronto. The judge directed the police not to answer any questions from my dad. " It's a club and we ain't in it "
I'm glad you're my mayor, Carolyn. Thank you for looking at the bigger picture by holding this institution accountable. Thank you, Desmond, for this video. I'll be subscribing to your channel as well.
Turning the GTA into a police state is the exact opposite of what makes a healthy and safe community. Bravo to Carolyn for speaking out about this issue and making an ethical decision to step back in order to do so.
@@lovettejackson Scary. Just look at the violence, corruption we see from copps regularly. And all the lyes, lack of accountability and transparency. The mayor, bless her, is in a priviledged position. A regular citizen would get retaliation for speaking the truths she dares to speak.
I wonder if the police boards knew Ford was planning to order the closure of CTS sites, then offer police sweeping powers to arrest and charge people who are "suspected" of using drugs, (but not alcohol), "publicly" while in a tent, where they reside because the shelters are full - despite being infested, a dangerous, and separating families... The bill will criminalize homelessness to an even greater degree with cumulative charges, and appears that it can be used to criminalize outreach workers as well. Fortunately the legislature doesn't sit again until March, so we all have some time to talk to our local representatives, who will be at home speaking with their constituents (that's what those incredibly long breaks are allegedly for) so as they're preparing to court our votes, we can tell them we hope their shoes contain one LEGO each, for all of eternity, if they vote for another bill that ignores abundant evidence to the contrary. And please: While fulfilling your social obligations this season - don't stay silent. If it is safe for you to do so, please ruin the evening by explaining why they shouldn't be voting for the "leopards who eat people's faces party". Very nearly all of us are closer to being homeless than wealthy enough to ever matter to a politician more than lip service. As much as I like what I'm hearing Carolyn, I heard the copaganda. You're not the first politician who's let me down on this one. You saw how the institution works. You had to leave in order to act ethically. They're hiding data and hoping you won't ask the right questions. Institutions that do that, also do that to their lowest ranking members. They teach them not to question. So even if they are kind, and truly equity delivering individuals... it's hard to stay that way in that culture. Same as there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. You do your best, and you're still doing harm. We have to be real about that.
Good interview and this Lady is right on, on the social issue. Money spent on kids on education and sport and art, will improve the situation. Not more bullying by the police.
I've been saying for decades that the best way to prevent crime is to take care of people, but that's not sexy or exciting, like new police tank. All the bad things I did when I was young was because I had nothing better to do. The mayor is absolutely right about taking care of people to reduce crime. Too bad that's a concept that Doug Ford is incapable of understanding. I wish Carolyn Parrish was our Primier
@tokenspirit6140 Unfortunately, we have too many Primiers and people in politics that are not the brightest or most compassionate people. Our political system encourages the worst people to rise to power
I live in Saskatchewan, and I'd like to say, what a great mayor and a laudable politician. Thanks for the interview. Nb, as someone else noted, her mic was great and yours was echoey.
Every ratepayer should get a breakdown in their property tax bill. In Toronto I pay about $5,500/year and of that an insane $1,400 goes to the police alone. That's 1.5x my home insurance. If every ratepayer had to cut a cheque to the police department and deliver it in person I think you'd get much more pushback. What a racket!
@@24revealer Police in Toronto are roughly 25% of the entire budget. You need to do some math to tease out fed/prov transfers for transit and housing but the property tax portion of your Toronto bill is 25% police.
The reason we are in this situation is because police in the 80s tried to jail everyone for anything like that was the solution. They choose to over police so they could get higher budgets each year.
Of course her father’s experience will taint her view of the police, but it will also be an asset against her critics. It is great she understands the root issues. A mayor with this understanding will be very helpful for the future of Mississauga.
I'm not from Mayor Parrish's community, but I don't think that matters. What does matter is her recounting of her experience at the local police board and the board terms of reference regarding meetings. Nothing about her observations should surprise us about people holding public office these days, whether it be in a post office, township or houses of parliament. A long time ago, not in this country that I am aware of, there was a time when individuals that were accepted for public service positions were appraised on their obligation to respect The Nolan Principles. What we see today is no obligations, no respect and no ACCOUNTABILITY.
The mic you had on her was great, but your mic’s audio during the interview was echoey and poor quality. I’m glad I found this channel and you’re doing this type of reporting though, I subscribed! Just wanted to say so you could fix the issue for future videos. :)
I live in Alberta where police fly around in helicopters 24/7. They use them for surveillance, not for assisting in high speed chases, or emergency situations. Considering that the average police department in Canada has five helicopters; it costs over $5000 an hour to have them in the air, each (including personnel, fuel, maintenance and upkeep. That’s approximately $840,000 a year per chopper. Considering the rate of unsolved and violent crime going unsolved or even being investigated, spending close to five million a year to fly around doing nothing but surveillance is ridiculous! If they want more money, tell them to stop using the police for spying on law abiding citizens, and start using the money to put boots on the ground and do their jobs!!!
I just love people that actually have “pride” and pride above all!!!! All the Woke humans have no pride, they just talk nonsense and embarrass themselves!
I don't understand: can't whichever ministry oversees ON police services order an audit or review of the structure of their budgeting and other accounting records (that 'line' format part), a review of the transparency of several of their procedures (like secrecy etc), a review of the composition of the board (not just Police)? They're a public service after all. They are supposed to work for us, not hide behind a heavy veil of secrecy and incomprehensible fuzzy records. I automatically think of the Auditor General, but this is provincial and I don't know the processes available to make this board more accountable, its financial demands more transparent, and maybe also conclude that some of this money would be better spent on the services Mayor Parrish suggested. Especially if experience has shown they will not be able to actually train 300 officers in any case, they should only get money for those they do train, and then maybe older people like me will still be able to pay all our taxes. Great interview, thanks!
Democratic socialist policies. That’s how. You don’t see Norway and Finland ‘sliding into fascism’ Begin with housing, mental health and addictions supports, and kids being fed. That is the start, not where it ends.
Why is policing so expensive? If diversity is strength then Toronto should be the safest area in Canada. Justine said that a while ago. Was Justine wrong?
Why don't they put that money into homelessness prevention by subsidizing those who are most at risk for eviction? That would be a better use of funds, given that the majority of those utilizing the supports do so short-term. It's a win-win!
Thank you Madam Mayor. That kind of sums up a lot of experience I've seen in my lifetime. These semi-secret bodies, even if it's City or Municipal Council holding "In Camera" meetings, hiding information from the Public when it's the Public's money and of interest to the Public. Open and transparent government, show me where.
All boards behave this way, not just Police boards. This board is not behaving this way because it is a Police board per say, it is because people in positions of unchecked power become corrupt. That is one reason why democracy is so vital. I totally agreed with what Mayor Parrish had to say about taking care of kids and preventing criminality.
Mad respect to this mayor for standing up for the people and speaking out against the police state! Mayor Carolyn Parrish is pure gold and what all mayors should strive to be like ! ! !
Scary unethical and obviously they have too much power already. Is this true across Ontario? Is this true across Canada? Non disclosure rules are being abused, are ridiculous in this case and too widespread.
@tylerdurden8378 They don't need that kind of budget when everybody else has to cut back! I'm sick of this institution believing they are more valuable than anyone else! After what they have helped do to this country, if I had a say, I'd start at the top and completely dismantle that organization until they were actually an entity that did their jobs the way they were meant to!
Niagara Falls Police budget is 60% for them to do nothing nuts screaming at the sky crime and drugs through the roof ! You will see them sleeping in parking lots while at the same time making people wait for hours when they are called !
I don't know the details. On the surface, 20% is a lot. I would like to see the context. eg. the community is growing, did it grow by 20% ? What percentage is the police budget in the overall budget?
Has anyone researched how the population has increased vs the number of officers? Peel police has the same number of officers they did in the 70s and are having difficulty retaining officers leaving for more inexpensive housing not in the GTA. Obviously if the call volume has massively increased it would make sense for the budget to increase.
@@leannefranson1198 Not true. Our police force is actually quit progressive, and the members are held accountable. Shame on you for falling for the biased Corporate media. The biggest problem is irresponsible parents, especially mothers.
Time. What you resist persists. Any authoritarian attempting to tell people what they may say or read or think are doomed to fail. No one wants a nanny state determining what social issues deserve attention and which do not. We elect representatives, not parents.
In my opinion, the RCMP's contract policing model works better than a city's municipal police force model. With the contracted RCMP, they work directly for the city and if the city doesn't like how they do things they can choose not to renew the contract (which holds them accountable to the city). With a municipal service, they are their own entity. Look at Surrey Police Service, DUI Doug McCallum's argument was he wanted the city of Surrey to have control over their own police service. When Mayor Locke got into office and tried to disband the service, the chief of SPS said the city doesn't have the authority to make those decisions.
Law enforcements, should All wear the same uniform and stick to their Oath for the Moral Constitutional Law. Serve and Protect, following Proper Vetern Leadership. The same should be for Our Military-Nationally As One, Sworn to Protect Our Nation from the Outside ,but from Within ,as well. The Government System, as a whole, is another Sorry excuse of Incompetence or Corruption??? My thoughts, great program.
No they still haven’t learned to train officers and probably never will. It’s not the police’s faults that they’re just plain stupid, it’s the training they receive.
This issue is where "conservatives" make their big mistake. We want fiscal responsibility in every other aspect of government but not the police for some messed up reason. It's completely illogical and an Achille's heel.
I think you really need to consider the quality of existing policing too do they need more officers because only one in four of them currently does their job properly as is? Be assertive and fire the bad ones defund them individually. Vancouver has Canadas highest paid cops for example but they can murder someone for a minor offence like Myles Gray and keep their jobs and don't even budget for body cameras either but tax payers should hire more evil unaccountable thugs but them new cars etc? Surrey too has a hell of a time with their RCMP the provincial safety minister says the city needs to switch to municipal police instead they are so terrible. Then yes they want to criminalize poverty next some nice easy targets elderly and disabled on fixed incomes while they turn a blind eye to violent repeat offenders car thieves etc?
I would beware of Conservatives that want to defund the CBC too for investigating cops that don't want to investigate themselves. th-cam.com/video/wTK3hbRFKPY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wM_7ZJH5mfbCppKr
Much respect to Carolyn! Good for her for speaking out
"unable to complain" is lack of accountability.
"You can't police your way out of social issues." Exactly.
When the hell are we going to realize this ?
@@lisamurdoch2525 When old people stop being scared.
So you want to throw millions at it? How about these people with social issues( crime) behave and be accountable???? If not, off to prison. Simple.
A rare sighting in Canada these days......a Canadian Politician with integrity!
