Shawn Micallef: Toronto is facing its worst police corruption scandal in decades. Here are three things that need to happen soon
The corruption revealed by Project South undermines the public trust that is the foundation of policing.
Two weeks ago I wrote a column about the egregious escalation in violent Toronto police corruption in one of the biggest daily newspapers in Canada. I wrote that they are bullies & the chief should be fired. I take none of that lightly. 1/3

The death panels blows my mind given that Americans kind of actually have that, they just call them HMOs. Unless you are incredibly rich HMOs already make determinations about care and often for less transparent reasons than a government based org would. And thatβs before we touch profit motives.

I'm not entirely sure how they did it, but they've completely cleared the streets around my office in Midtown #NYC.
They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

A digital illustration of a fictional owl. In form similar to a barn owl with the same heart-shaped face but with the addition of feathery owl horns. It has a whitish face and belly and its wings, back, head, and tail are shared of deep red with gold spots and details including a gold tracing of its face shape and out to the end of the horns. It has deep, dark blue eyes and is perched on a branch. Next to the owl on the right is an hourglass the glass of which is housed in a slightly ornate gold structure with an organic viney motif. Most of the sand is in the bottom of the hourglass. Above that is some gold interconnected, art nouveau-esque lettering set inside a rectangle with a red background. The lettering reads βMaybe it will happen todayβ.

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON
This cartoon has six panels. A caption at the top says "History, Rhyming."
PANEL 1
A close up of someone's hand lying limply on the ground, in sepia tones.
CAPTION: August 20, 1965: Civil rights activist Jonathan Daniels put himself between a deputy sheriff and the black teen the deputy was attacking. The deputy shot Daniels to death.
PANEL 2
A close up of a gloved hand lying limply on snowy pavement, a cell phone lying nearby. Drawn in blue tones.
CAPTION: January 24 2026: Anti-fascist activist Alex Pretti put himself between border protection agents and the woman the agents were attacking. The agents shot Pretti to death.
PANEL 3
This panel is divided in two, sepia on the left and blues on the right. On the sepia side, a man inn a suit sneers. On the right side, a man in a border patrol uniform sneers.
BOTH (in unison): He was intended to commit a massacre!
CAPTION (sepia side): Arthur Gamble: Corrupt prosecutor who threw the case.
CAPTION (blue side): Gregory Bovino: Border Patrol Commander.
PANEL 4
Another panel divided into sepia and blue sides. On the sepia side is a cheerful middle-aged man in a suit. On the right side are two masked Border Patrol agents.
ALL THREE (unison): I was in fear for my life!
CAPTION (sepia side): Tom Coleman, Daniels' murderer.
CAPTION (blue side): Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez, Pretti's murderers.
PANEL 5
On the sepia side, three people with 1960s haircuts are angrily yelling. On the blue side, same thing except with current-day hair and clothes.
ALL (unison): If he hadn't put himself where he didn't belong he'd still be alive! Cops have to make split-second judgements! Law! Order! Bark bark bark bark woof!
CAPTION: Boot-licking stooges.
PANEL 6
In a clearing, surrounded by grass, trees, and shrubs, two men talk to each other. One, wearing a clerical collar, is "Jonathan Daniels, 1939-1965." The other, wearing a winter jacket and baggy jeans, is "Alex Pretti, 1989-2026."
