by city council calling for a 1 per cent cut to the police’s $339 million budget, about 21 per cent of the city’s $1.62 billion operating budget for 2020. in early July that included cutting the police service’s budget by $11 million over the next two years amid weeks of debate around police reform.
. The city said the money would eventually be reallocated into services like hiring programs and summer youth jobs for Black, Latino and other marginalized communities.For cities in Western Canada including Victoria, Vancouver, Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, policing accounts for at least 20 per cent of their 2020 operating budgets. Among them, all but Vancouver have policing as the city’s biggest expenditure.
The Winnipeg Police Service is getting $304.1 million this year, or 26.6 per cent of the city’s $1.14 billion tax-supported operating expenditures. It is the largest percentage among the cities examined by CTVNews.ca. By comparison, community services in Winnipeg are getting $115 million, or 10 per cent of the budget.
Even places with modest budgets, like Charlottetown, P.E.I., which has a budget of $59.7 million, allocates more than 16 per cent to police. In Fredericton, N.B., more than 14 per cent of its $124.4 million budget goes to policing. That portion is more than 18 per cent if capital expenditures are excluded.
CTVNews DEFUND ALL LEFT WING MEDIA...
CTVNews Not happening.....
CTVNews That chick isnt canadian
CTVNews No need to defund Have all the protesters sign contracts stating rhey no longer wish to receive the services provided by law enforcement. It's a win/win Protester get left alone police and the rest of society can continue to benefit from the service they provide to society
CTVNews FTFY
CTVNews DEFUND THE POLICE
How does defunding the police fix the racism that people claim exists? No one screaming and wrecking things can answer the question
CTVNews DefundThePolice, in every sanctuary city. Every. Single. One.
CTVNews Please defund the police. I wan't these progressives to live in the horror they create
They don't want to defund the police, they want the police to arrest anyone they disagree with at their command and if they don't they'll burn down the precinct and neighbouring businesses.
How about the police in every Canadian jurisdiction stage a one month walk out ? I guarantee within a week these same people wanting to defund the police would be on their knees begging them to come back to work .
You need the police but you need to have training programs as well.. some police need to get a HELL of alot of training on Bias and Racism.. there needs to be accountability
If you think it’s such a great idea to defund police. Why don’t you move to New York, Chicago, Minnesota, or Atlanta just to name a few, and let me know how that works out for you. Better buy a few guns while your at it cause no one is coming to help you. This is stupidity
Defund the media , let people just post
Disagree with defunding.
Criminals are the problem. Not those enforcing the laws, that Criminals break. howstupidwevebecome
defund and investigatedl our government first
Not worth the time to read it
I'm all for the police BUT, in Vancouver, during the Fireworks, Italian Festival, all the parades, police are militarized. They have huge guns, body armour, helicopters flying around and they treat every day ordinary people like criminals. This has to stop. We arent in Iraq.
nope.
I agree things need to be done better but defund the police? Maybe when we find a vaccination for stupid.
Reallocatefunds to more education
Defunding the police is NOT the answer 🤦♀️
Well well well. We knew this was our MSM agenda as well. NEVER will this country defund the Police.
Say the anarchists?
Too soft on crime.
CTVToronto Defund ≠ Abolish Seems like the Blue LM bootlickers can't seem to tell the two apart (granted there's a handful of idiots that do think the police should be completely abolished which is ridiculous)
As mentioned defunding is such a stupid phrase. It will cost many dollars to fix this. The police simply need better oversight, screening, on a continuous basis, and training. Adrenaline is hard to control and requires serious oversight and training.
CTVToronto Go to HELL CTV. Stop trying to push your agenda. We are not going to defund the police. We need to increase funding for better training and vetting of new hires.
Budget go up just like crime. 90% of policing is petty traffic violations today, handing out fines to law abiding citizens. I bet 75% of cops in Canada have never actually arrested a criminal.
They’re worth every penny. I wonder how much of Trudeau’s taxpayer funded media bailout CTV received? No more taxpayer handouts for CTV. DefundCTV
Illegal technologies like Stingray phone tracking are also part of the budget. This is what should also be defunded.
How about REFORM the police
Defund the police was a poor choice of words for what people really wanted. What is wanted is a less militarized presence and ending obscene amounts of money spent on unnecessary military equipment. A more supportive community presence by the police is what is the desired .
Let the people asking to defund the police to go and live in Mexico or south America and then ask them if they still think we should defund the police.
Police did not ask for nor want the extra duties associated to mental health calls for service. The mental health system is maxed out in most provinces. Mobile Crisis teams depending where you live are behind up to 36 hours in their response times. Not an easy and quick fix
The issue is gutless politicians who don’t clean up the dysfunctional parole board, weak laws that are full of technical loop holes, weak baby food sentences and too many idiotic judges that aren’t disciplined appropriately.
CTVToronto We know how this political tactic will end. Communities will be less safe, people will be victimized at higher rates, more murders and shootings. When crime goes up people will complain the police aren’t doing enough..... Que the mass exodus from the big city to the burbs
CTVToronto Defend the police. Depend on the police. They are the backbone of safety and security of our communities.
Defunding the police, will not stop racism. Abolishing the police is a romantic utopian idea. Removing duties that should not be done by cops, better training and mental support for cops will do more than either. Helping communities(without defunding) can help as well
Some people have gone completely simple talking about cutting back on police funds bullshit we should be spending more .if less on them all hell will break out .then we will see how everyone handles that morrons
🤬🖕stop being ridiculous losers who you gonna call if someone hurts your kids, a elderly parent goes missing, you're sexually assaulted or your kids are This crap is uncalled for how can you ask for respect when you're asking people to disrespect others? Common sense is lost!
I would suggest to the girl with the sign go live in Russia for while, when she comes back she will be kissing boots of our police officers
Meanwhile in BC a Female RCMP sexually molested a Male Rcmp twice and was NOT fired NOR is facing criminal prosecution. WHY because she's a woman. If it were a man he'd be looking at prison time
Should definitely defund those pos fat bears. Those losers have nothing better to do but, wait for it......
Police is a must for law and order.. Improvement can be made for sure.
Obey the police & you won’t feel the need to demand defunding.
Can we stop giving this so much media attention. Such a ridiculous idea
'In early June, the Vancouver Police Board rejected a motion by city council calling for a 1 per cent cut to the police’s $339 million budget, about 21 per cent of the city’s $1.62 billion operating budget for 2020.' That may explain Delta Police Chief Neil Dubord's house.
I'd much rather DefundTheMSM than the police and with all of the race baiting and game news, I'm sure we're going to have to increase the police budgets.
Saskatoon SPS best investment for our City. Think of some of their work: mental wellness calls, gang related, drunk/high driving, B&E, drugs, guns, sex trafficking, missing person, rape, pervs exposing themselves, firearm trafficking, prostitution. holdcriminalsresponsible
Defunding the media. Try it it is great,already took two very antagonistic media accounts off of my feed. The good news is refreshing. The hammer to my head has stopped pounding!
We need well trained/equipped and confidant police who are supportd by politicians. Police shouldn’t the convenient scapegoat for the ill’s of society.
I am all for defunding the media as well!
Defund welfare and housing projects and put the gangbangers on the highways and city streets picking up trash instead of selling drugs! & protesting!
There is a small sense of irony in the fact that the people who most want the police defunded are those who require the most protection by the police in cases of racism and violence to identifiable groups
CTV news is an enemy of the people.
Start with any security at all Canadian news stations. Cut that out first. Then every politician must relinquish there security detail including PM. Start with that and let’s see how it goes. You guys show us how it’s done. you’re insufferable
Defund the police is a stupid idea. It blames police for societal problems. Police don't look for problems they respond to crimes in progress. Defund the politicians is more appropriate. When crime goes higher it's the politician's fault, and the result of bad policy.
Let’s consider the NYPD had an operating budget greater than the Canadian military...they cut it, now look at the result. New York is a war zone! We need well trained police.
That premise of 'defunding the police to give it to social programs' has been dismantled. Canada is nowhere near the USA in terms of police brutality cases and light years ahead in terms of social programs. American solutions do not work in this case.
The sign holder looks like they have 5 minutes of life experience. If you didn’t spend this money you would have gangs and shootings in every City in Canada.....Foolish idea!
Cut retention pay and save millions. This issue is no longer a problem and needs to be eliminated from all first responders.
The entire world news media starts on 'defund the police'. The entire world news media starts on systemic racism. Can we just drop the 'theory' now, and understand this is plain old conspiracy?
If u don't agree with them they hide ur comments. Maybe it's time we start organizing protests at the ctv buildings.
Remember to include the already skyrocketing rates of violent crime in the cities that are doing it.
Can you put all this on a chart, or graph?
The reality is the police have to deal with all the negative ills of society. Millions of calls for service a year across Canada and few incidents, less than 1% make the news for questionable behaviour. So tell police to only go to crimes and good luck with the ensuing chaos.
CTV clearly showing their allegiance to their NEW WORLD ORDER controllers not Canada. The USMCA will expose and go after CTV and other treasonous CDN media. Defund Police is a NWO narrative. Are you awake yet, Canada Masks are another NWO narrative WakeUPCanada
How about increase funding for police training.
We need more Community Policing so that Police understand who their Community is and keep their residents safe and have an idea who the bad apples and deal with them.
