Currently at a kids party in a Toronto park wondering why we need 1000 more cops when one has been just idling his car next to the playground while checking his phone for the last hour.
Crime is down. Toronto is objectively a safe place. Why does Bradford want us scared? www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...
