Or the Province had enough of a fickle municipality making huge changes to policing in the span of four years with little overall electoral mandate, leading to chaos in policing in one of the province’s largest city.
I normally can’t stand the NDP and Doug McCallum, and have no love for the SPS, but I think the Province felt they had to impose a decision on the City since they were being so fickle after so much money had been invested in starting a new force.
Let this be a warning to other municipalities thinking of making the switch. Get a mandate from a stand alone referendum or at least get buy-in from a large swath of the community, and don’t play silly-bugger with reporting publicly the real costs of switching over.
