This, but for everyone. There should be an emergency line that specifically does not call police.

@NoLore There should be a list of cop haters. They would be unable to call 911.

With the greatest single-year increase in child poverty in N.S., @FranklyLess concludes: “what did we learn? That child poverty can be tackled, but our elected officials have chosen not to persist.” @CCPANS @fedfamilylab @AcadiaU
Dr. Lesley Frank@FranklyLess

Today our @fedfamilylab at @AcadiaU released the 2023 Report Card on Child and Family Poverty with @CCPANS. The highest single-year increase since the year the promise was made to eradicate child poverty in 1989. There are now 35,330 children living in low-income families.

The Mounted Unit alone has a proposed budget of $5,952,600. The 22 city-funded agencies that operate daytime drop-ins, which are used by thousands of homeless people and provide hot meals, have been allocated <$5 million. 32 drop-ins, including mine, have no city funding at all.

Mounted officers on horseback have the advantage of an elevated view, making it easier to identify suspicious activity in crowded areas. In 2023, they appeared in over 1500 events, including searches, demonstrations, and radio calls. #SupportYourTPS

Now imagine if we had a massive team of mental health and addiction professionals handling these. While I appreciate other areas need spending, imagine if we took 500M of the police budget and devoted it to professionals and supports to prevent these calls in the first place.
Doctors For Defunding Police@DrsDefundPolice

A Stats Canada report estimated that up to 80% of police responses to calls were related to issues of mental health, drug overdose, suicide, domestic dispute/domestic violence & other ‘non-criminal’ offences. If police are not trained to handle these issues, why are they sent?

Police go on every overdose call. More people would call if they didn’t go. Police escalate on these calls. We could find budget cuts by changing policies so police do not go on every call.

we each pay hundreds of dollars per year to the toronto police, who claim that they still need more, yet research shows crime rates have no correlation to higher budgets. instead, they’re out here openly targeting unhoused people and protestors thestar.com/news/gta/polic…

Toronto would save so much money if it just halved the police budget and put it towards taking care of people. #TOpoli

“It’s a public consultation in name only so they can write on a piece of paper that they had public engagement but it’s meaningless because it’s not incorporated," says Nancy Hunter. Fund community not cops, urges HRM residents | SaltWire saltwire.com/halifax/news/f…

The #Barrie police budget in 2014 was $46.4M. That's a $21M (45%) increase to the police in 10 years, nearly double what it would have gone up had they kept strictly to inflation. Why are the police allowed to bloat while other services like the library are forced to stay slim?
