Sources: FIFA wanted level 4 motorcade escort for its president while in Vancouver (ability to go through traffic lights). That’s 1 level below the pope - but on par with 🇺🇸 president - and higher than 🇨🇦 PM. The request was denied. #bcpoli @globalnews.ca

Toronto cops got $600K to buy 15 new motorcycles, in part due to a need to provide escorts during FIFA to “visiting dignitaries, including those classified as Internationally Protected People."

The police budget for 2026 is already just shy of 1.5 billion. What's another 600K? But not enough money for the homeless. I shouldn't be surprised, but once again, my jaw hits the floor.
