Oliva Chow wants to ban your handguns

Police do a difficult and necessary job and deserve a good pay. What the unions have done though is devastating our economy. Automatic increases over and above inflation, especially when we are in deficit position should be illegal. No public sector employee should see any kind of raise until we are balancing budgets. Removing discretionary buying /spending power from taxpayers and giving it to government employees is gradually marching us into bankruptcy. Small towns that use the OPP are now at the breaking point and can no longer afford the annual increases of policing costs. At some point we may see the return of the small town police force. I guarantee you they would have no problem staffing them for 25% less wages with able bodied non visible minority quota candidates who would love to make $75K a year. In most of these small towns with lower real estate costs they would still live extremely well. There are 3 police officers in my deer camp who all make
the sunshine list and even they admit that the bubble will burst at some point. If municipalities start dumping the OPP then there will be be layoffs and many of those officers will be glad to get a municipal force police job even at a lower wage.

Some of these politicians don't know their place.
You want to be mayor. .. Good for you, but really.. You won't matter much.
Mayors can run their little cities, but things like the criminal code and other FEDERAL legislation....
Sorry. .. you're stepping outside your sandbox.

While you're right about them ruling their own little fiefdom,because they're closer to us than a fairly far-removed from the individual federal or provincial government,they can really screw you up with hare-brained by-law changes that only serve to PO people.

I'd like to move to Toronto and run for office on the platform of banning Olivia Chow.

Great column. The problem is we are talking about Toronto " progressives" here. Chow doesn't need to or care about anybody else and these citiots can be fooled with just about anything that the NDP/Libs say. The fact they are being lied to really doesn't bother them. I still say she gets traction with this BS.
