Mayor Olivia Chow's Toronto

Not much of a surprise there was insider help, but the scope of this is pretty huge.

Nine Toronto police officers are facing charges related to violent incidents involving tow trucks and operators across the Greater Toronto Area, multiple sources tell CBC News.
CBC News is not naming the sources, as they are not authorized to share details publicly.

The officers are accused of trafficking, leaking addresses to hitmen, and leaking police officer addresses, the sources said.
The investigation also uncovered a conspiracy to kill a unit commander at the Toronto South Detention Centre, the sources said.

That last one is pretty shocking. There needs to be a real deep dive into the rot at TPS.

Also shocking that according to The Globe and Mail more than 30 officers were arrested

A federal source said more than 30 officers were arrested, mostly from Toronto police but including other forces as well, but would provide no further details.
A separate source with knowledge of the case said York Regional Police led the investigation.

Damn. This is going to be huge, and a big election issue too.

It is hard to see how it might play out in the municipal election as the influence the City has on the police is actually tiny - though it is the City that funds them. There is a very fine balance between having politicians in charge of the police and police in charge of the police. Here we make a typical Canadian compromise and have civilian 'police boards' but they are not allowed to deal with 'operational issues' . The police 'leadership' seems poor, the oversight is split and clearly useless. We have a police force that has seen at least one senior officer disciplined for drunk driving, a police force that has been repeatedly called out in court for lying, has seen a senior officer demoted for helping her proteges pass promotion exams, a police force who were unable / unwilling to enforce traffic laws so the City had to hire lots of 'traffic agents' and erect cameras to catch speeding that the Province has now forced us to remove. Then there is the case of the Sherman murders and the Tess Richey case - she was murdered in the Village and her body was found by her mother because the police search was so poor - etc etc etc .........
