Hey Mayor!!!!!! The Toronto Police would like a raise? Apparently they are being ignored. You wouldn't do that, would you?

Aw, Toronto, the land of the brave - my home town, that has grown, especially the crime. Why on earth would our police want a raise? I mean really? Why would the Mayor ignore them? But, that is me. What do I know about running a city? I am not a politician. I am just one of many others, who call Toronto home. After all everyone has an opinion. Now let's get back to Toronto Police who want a raise and perhaps some other benefits. The Police Chief reported that this year 550 Officers were hurt. Is that all? I believe it is their Association head telling us that Police are leaving Toronto and that other neighbouring Police Forces are getting 5000. more. Boy, I was sure that in the past, Toronto Police was the best paid - what happened? I am not going to talk too much today about this, but I do want to say that there is rarely a weekend, I don't hear gun shots and I never report it because I want to protect our Police. They do so much with so little appreciation. I have always lived in Toronto unless my work took me elsewhere and my work certainly did that. Retiring here in my third career has certainly been an eye opener. I have seen crime rise in the city and the news excusing it, reporting that it is good compared to other places in the world. Well, I don't live in those other countries, I live here. I believe that the majority of Torontonians are great people. We are a diverse city, rich in both tradition and newcomers. We are friendly and love everything the city offers. We do have a criminal element but I believe that they are the minority and with a few changes in the law, we can surely get that in control. We need to support our Police. Olivia Chow prove me wrong. Give the Police the raise and resources they desparately need. Do a happy dance for them please and at least show them that you may care. After all they keep you safe too.
