This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.The Toronto Police Services Board says it intends to postpone a debate scheduled for Friday on a series of proposed reforms after an outcry that it was moving too quickly to allow for public consultations.
The proposals, only made public on Wednesday, also call for the city and police to engage in talks on a new, non-police agency that could handle calls involving people in mental-health crises.The list of potential reforms came in response to the recent wave of protests against police violence and anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism – and calls across North America for the “defunding” of police services. Activists and police critics largely dismissed the proposed reforms as piecemeal.
“Following release of the Chair’s report earlier this week, the Board heard important calls from the public and stakeholders for additional time to consult on any recommendations that come before the Board,”The delay will also allow city council, due to meet at the end of the month, to weigh in with its own ideas on police reform first. A motion from city councillors Josh Matlow and Kristyn Wong-Tam calls for a 10-per-cent chop to the police force’s $1.
“The Board believes that it is critical to wait and allow the discussion and decisions of City Council to inform the final drafting of this report,” the statement reads.

Four takeaways from the first Conservative leadership debateThe four people looking to become the next leader of the federal Conservative Party squared off in the first debate Wednesday night, in French. Erin O'Toole, Peter MacKay, Derek Sloan and Leslyn Lewis challenged each other on their policies and visions for where they'd take the party as they sought to define themselves and gain support. I know one thing: none of the four speak French fluently. All four suck. There you go in a nutshell. 1) They're nuts. 2) Ils sont fous. 3) They're lying. 4) Ils ment.
