Great piece. I don’t understand why some people insist on framing police services and other social services as if they’re in opposition to each other. We need both.

😡🔥 If anyone accuses me of raging today, they would be RIGHT! How the HELL does a family sneak across the border ILLEGALLY in 2017, get their refugee claim REJECTED in 2018, appeals denied by 2019, and STILL be chilling in Toronto in 2025 while their son is allegedly trying to
