Defund the Police

The City of Ottawa should defund the Ottawa Police and reinvest reducing the deficit of affordable housing and provide more funding for other vital community programs.

There will probably be an influx of demands to defund and/or abolish the police. Please do not dismiss this as a passing movement. These demands are not new, the number of voices has only increased. Everyone deserves to feel safe in this city, and police forces have proved countless times that their duty to serve and protect only favours certain citizens.

Do not make the same mistake as Toronto City Council. Be on the right side of history.
