“If we do not have a safe city, absolutely nothing else matters,” she said.
...police should be able to lay charges as do Crown lawyers, like in other parts of Canada and reiterated her positions that police
should have real-time access to the city’s 600-plus traffic cameras and 300 more police should be hired over four years...
...police roadside checks “that blanket high-risk areas, particularly overnight, made possible with more officers. Immediate helicopter access, and longer term, a dedicated SPS helicopter. Deeper screening by Ottawa of foreign students, temporary workers and anyone applying for an extended visa to Canada. Immediate deportation of any non-Canadian involved in extortion, related shootings or gangs, with no opportunity to hide behind a claim for refugee status.”
“Coming to Canada is a privilege, not a right,” she noted. “We need better and deeper screening, we need to know who’s entering our country. Unfortunately, too many people mistake our politeness and hospitality for weakness, and think nothing of ignoring our laws and visa restrictions. We have to show them we’re serious.”
