Following an independent, meticulous SIU review, the six Toronto police officers present when Regis Korchinski-Paquet died were cleared of wrongdoing, yet Mr. Singh still pointed a finger

Regis Korchinski-Paquet's father Peter Korchinski, sister Renee Korchinski, lawyers Knia Singh and Silvia Argentina Arauz, brother Reece Korchinski and cousin Tyrell Beals say a prayer around a memorial, in Toronto on Aug. 26, 2020.

In the midst of it, Ms. Korchinski-Paquet said she needed to go to the bathroom and went into the apartment. Police followed. They asked her to talk to paramedics, who had brought a stretcher. Ms. Korchinski-Paquet refused. She went out onto the balcony instead, holding the screen door shut so no one could follow. She scaled the railing and tried to make her way onto a neighbour’s balcony. Moments later she fell to the ground below.

“The evidence establishes that this did not occur,” says the analysis by SIU director Joseph Martino. “Instead, the evidence indicates that no one other than Ms. Korchinski-Paquet was on the balcony when she scaled over the railing and attempted to sidestep along the outer ledge over to her neighbour’s balcony, lost her balance, and fell.”

What makes Mr. Singh think he knows better? When he says Ms. Korchinski-Paquet died because of police intervention, and that “her life was taken,” he is making a very serious charge indeed. Worse, he is making it not in the heat of the moment, but after a painstaking report by skilled independent investigators explicitly concluded otherwise. He did not just jump to conclusions; he looked, saw, then jumped, the evidence be damned.

Singh is a train wreck

Actually theJagmeetSingh demonstrated what a race-baiter he actually is. And it wasn’t the first time he’s done it. cdnpoli NDP

You call it lack of judgment i call it lying

Jaggie is dumb as dirt

hsingh_hk Don't blame him, it was the closest thing we had to a George Floyd scenario at the time

Why is anyone surprised?

theJagmeetSingh is an idiot and us pushing for US type riots😖I have now idea why😖 why he is using this tragedy for some sick anti police political gain he is a complete fool

When has Jagmeet used good judgement? He’s a socialist goon that only knows how to take. No idea on what it requires to create, generate or produce.

We have discrimination + police brutality here too, but not in this case and Mr. Singh is trying to tap into the anger about Jacob Blake and George Floyd in the U.S. and use it for his own political gain - it's divisive and could be inciting of violence.

Interesting. I thought the text showed a commitment to principle over political pandering. But then, I'm not the wise Globe and Mail.

Jagmeet Singh theJagmeetSingh is a very foolish man. He thinks what he says is relevant. It's NOT! His lack of good judgment isn't the only deficiency he processes. The list is too long to post here!

The same theJagmeetSingh that is banned from India for supporting terrorists?

Let’s be sensitive to others before writing about them. Especially those who hold public positions!

NDP stand for National Dancing Party or No Development Party.

defundbalconies

velianaylor That's not the only time he has shown an appalling lack of judgement

Good take.

I don't pay attention to anything Jagmeet Singh says

Inexperienced MP. He is no where close to the likes of Tom Mulcair , Ed Broadbent or Jack Layton. His leadership does not assist in growing their party .

More and more the NDP looses any kind of credibility in Canada.

Nope. theJagmeetSingh tweet stated the obvious. Crisis workers don't kill ppl. Police do. They escalated the situation; the institution bears responsibility.

Trudeau says focus is on safe supply, not decriminalization as overdose deaths spikeCanada is experiencing unprecedented numbers of overdose deaths this year, with one public-health crisis exacerbated by another End, entirely, the war on drugs. It only benefits the government, police budgets and funding, and criminals. It failed the moment it was started; it has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and more impoverishment, and further encroachment on the our rights. Since Mr. Trudeau does not want to open the border, perhaps he can ask the 86,000 'essential' truckers that cross our borders every week to bring across the 'safe supply'.... jwints So JustinTrudeau's only willing to do what he sees as politically advantageous to him instead of what is needed to help save lives. cdnpoli
