Former Thunder Bay police chief Sylvie Hauth will stand trial tomorrow. In "Thunder Bay" on Crave, we showed you how TBay police, mired in systemic racism scandal, investigated their own Anishinaabe board chair. This is that story from the inside. ricochet.media/indigenous/how…

D’Mello continues to make covering this endgame-feeling story about restricting public access to information into a priority.

NEW: The latest in Premier Doug Ford's cellphone transparency saga: The government's appeal of a court order has been dismissed, the IPC's directive to hand over records is back in force: Civil servants have been told to “obtain from the affected party (Ford) any government or departmental related entries from his personal cell phone’s call.” The government's retroactive FOI changes however could block that. globalnews.ca/news/11861069/… #onpoli

Of course there’s no correlation between police spending and crime rates. A number of variables can be set and bounced off of each other if we’re reducing crime. Funding is the volume knob of systemic responses; necessary but unimaginative on its own. thestar.com/news/gta/polic…

Simple enough test of whether something stands up to the Charter. "If the secrecy makes it impossible for police to provide the information courts need to assess these tools, 'then these tools are inappropriate for police investigations, and police should not be using them.'”

Ontario police are using spyware that lets them remotely take over your smartphone. They’re fighting to keep almost everything about it secret trib.al/oJn95hQ

Thunder Bay cop sentenced to three years in prison over ‘militantly illegal police conduct’ in warrantless 2020 raid. Rare for a police officer to do time in Canada, judge says sentence is a ‘deterrent.’ This case was featured in the award-winning Crave docuseries Thunder Bay. ricochet.media/justice/police…

No evidence exists for this ridiculous idea. The only reason anyone believes it is because clowns like this flood our allegedly bought-and-paid media with their bankrupt opinions so they can propagandize you to demand an end to support for real journalism in the public interest.

"La Presse ended my 25-year column, which I wrote for free, for saying out loud what many Canadians are thinking quietly. Subsidies given to private media are a partisan issue, fostering more editorial bias. And now, Ottawa wants to give the media another $6 billion. I’m not surprised."
