'Indigenous people are more than 10 times more likely to be murdered by the police in Canada than non-Indigenous people. This tells us that the system is broken beyond repair, and we demand accountability' Grand Chief Stewart Phillip ubcic.bc.ca/fnlc_appalled_…

That Pierre Poilievre would see it as politically expedient & worth his time to make this stop & give credence to these views & attitudes, says so very, very much. He looks way too comfortable & seems to have no qualms about being filmed. It should trouble us all, deeply.

FYI 'Far-right politics (right-wing extremism) = spectrum of political thought that tends 2B radically conservative, ultra-nationalist & authoritarian' & 'led to oppression, political violence, forced assimilation, ethnic cleansing & genocide vs ppl based on supposed inferiority'

CBC's research found more than one-third of the allegations leading to officer suspensions since 2013 involved gender-based violence including sexual assault, domestic violence or sexual harassment. cbc.ca/news/canada/ot… .

The Toronto Police & Crown prosecutor's office need to heed the advice of this lawyer - don't lie, don't commit perjury & don't put people on the stand who will also commit perjury. The police & prosecutor should be ashamed & next step should be arrests of those police officers.

Chief of Toronto Police having audacity to say they wanted a different outcome is horrendous. What a callous disregard for trauma they put this man through for an accident. How can we have any faith in them? It's seems like they want vengeance, not truth, even if it means lies.

Never forget that cops and politicians tried to construct him as a monstrous killer who should not even get bail.

I’m glad the jury saw that this was a tragic accident. All of the facts and circumstances pointed to that end. Police are too emotionally charged to be unbiased. Too bad the crown couldn’t make that clear to them from the start. thestar.com/news/gta/jury-…
