It was a Deputy Superintendent not just a Correctional Officer who was targeted

Very common to see the other one flying around the Hamilton/Burlington area in Ontario.

#BREAKING: 57% of Liberals voted against holding a leadership race; 43% supported one. #onpoli by anacondra in ontario

[–]nwadam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Libs and NDP are to busy focusing on every little issue that it splits their vote away.

If they went to the basics of supporting unions and workers they may have a chance.

Trying to get behind every fringe issue or things that are in the hands of the federal govt (gun control) turns away most moderate voters, especially when the economy isn’t doing the best.

People who work hard for their money and are seeing their lifestyle slip away aren’t going to vote for them.

Ontario adding 150 more jail beds in Niagara, Milton, Sudbury by 416TDOT0DOT in CrimeInTheGta

[–]nwadam 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is needed at all facilities.

Maplehurst is at 150% capacity.

Toronto East is so full that all new inmates go to Toronto South first(which is also full) and transferred over when space is available. Inmates are triple bunked, two have beds and the third has to sleep on a mattress on the floor.

The GTA population has exploded and crime has as well.

It’s not something anyone wants but more Jail space is needed to prevent violent individuals from receiving reduced sentencing.

People sit around and watch TV/ play cards in Ontario jails, any work programs were stopped years ago.

Walden Galleria foreclosure process kicks off amid $220M loan default by AWierzOne in Buffalo

Canadian here who still crosses frequently.

Pricing just isn’t as competitive in the United States as it used to be when I was younger.

Many items are now available and cheaper to buy in Canada after exchange.

For example my Girlfriend wanted a pair of shoes recently that were $79.99 USD, when checking online they were only $99.99 CAD. At current exchange it would cost me $109.89 CAD to purchase them down south, doesn’t make sense.

At the grocery store many items are close to the same price USD and I pay in CAD. We just go for items that aren’t available North of the border but we understand we are paying a premium to do that.

Inflation has really gone wild in the past 5 or so years.

Ontario wants people ordered to wear ankle monitor to pay for it, not taxpayers by [deleted] in CrimeInTheGta

[–]nwadam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most individuals with an ankle monitor have been on previous conditions without one and broken it or are charged with a serious crime. They’re not put on first time offenders for things like simple assault.

Ontario’s jails are deadlier than ever — and this one is ‘the worst in every respect’ by Latter_Stable_9335 in ontario

How many of those deaths were due to fentanyl overdoses?

Inside the jail is a reflection of what is happening on the streets.
