13% of Toronto gun crime in 2024 was tied to organized crime that Toronto police were involved in. Maybe the best way to reduce gun crime is to cut the police budget?

On the CBC lunchtime call in show, the white supremacist statement from the caller gets tge response: β€˜well, we don’t want to platform that view too much.’

Spending the morning trying to fix my phone. No, Siri, I don’t really care what you think.

One interesting side effect of my update was siri’s voice was reset as having an Australian accent. A little random.

Starting from this problematic premise, the MPO is recruiting staff kn contracts (i.e., seconding) from the very companies that would benefit from these sorts of projects. Admittedly, this might be somewhat unavoidable, still distasteful.
