the answer to everything but it can act as a “set of wings”to allow a woman with kids on her back to fly far away from the piece of sh!?t she once mistook for a man. Money creates independence and the ability to say “see ya”.

I have been told, I stayed because of “finances & the kids”. Ensuring women are paid a lower wage almost guarantees that some will not have the financial ability to leave their abusive relationships. It kind of “seals the the predictable outcome for some. Money is not…

are often a reason why an abused woman remains in an abusive relationship, add kids into the mix, and they often feel “trapped”. I have never heard an abused woman tell me in an interview that she stayed with her abuser because “she loved” the ass$$&le”…..

Another reason I continued questioning the Minister about the 2/3 of the CUPE members seeking better pay is because they are woman. Pay inequality, imo, is one of several reasons why a woman might decide/have no choice but to remain in an abusive relationship. Finances…

Me &! My sons 2 buddies. My kid would rather be on the other end of the camera. Beautiful day at The Paintbrush GC.

At Queens Park patiently waiting to hear from the Government regarding the “anticipated“ back to work legislation” which would prevent the 55k education workers from striking this coming Friday.

This is ARSON. I met this doggo covering the pandemic a few years ago. Well, here he is again wanting another picture. It was a ruff request but I’m always willing.

Full disclosure. I do not like guns nor do I own one-I do not see how this announcement will reduce gun crimes, especially homicides. I agree all guns can lead to fatalities, however, I investigated 150 murders & I may have investigated 1 that involved a legally owned gun…

Knives, axes, crossbows & scissors were also a common weapons of choice. Providing our CBSA with more resources will reduce murder rates because they will have the increased tools to search seize. We would be better off banning knives, axes, crossbows, & scissors…

If the main objective is to save lives. And while we are at, we might as well ban personal vehicles to prevent impaired driving. Guns are definitely a great concern for police but imo banning legally owned guns will not, sadly, reduce our homicide rates. Focus on the real issue.

And that issue is illegal guns being easily “walked” into Canada. Much tougher jail sentences for those who use a gun in the commission of a criminal offence might also work. Just my opinion solely based on my policing experience, especially my time in Homicide.

I have never been a gun owner but I have met many throughout my policing career & my experience was that all legal gun owners were incredibly responsible & abided by our strict gun laws. The homicides I investigated involved illegal guns smuggled in from the US…..

As always, firefighters raise our flag near the Sadlon Arena to honour the 2 fallen officers. The processions will pass by the firefighters as they make their way into the arena where the service will be held.

You know it’s cold if I ignore vanity and put on a toque. Thanks to my other cameraman Simon Sheehan.

A police uniform is not super hero clothing giving an officer super human skills & strength. If anything, this illustrates how dangerous police work can be. A suspect is in custody. The dogs are fine as is the officer. Thank goodness for that.

Even though he is the competition, I agreed to take this photo with my colleague from Global TV, cameraman Robbie Ford, no relation. He is very skilled at his craft but not so great at posing for photos!!

Just because you carry a heavy hammer does not mean you always need to drop it! But make no mistake, if enforcement is required-it will be done. Discretion is an important part of policing. Well done TPS. No doubt, Durham police will do the same this weekend in Brooklyn.

Always remember-years ago we attended an address to arrest a young man for Manslaughter. His dad-“he’s probably under a bridge somewhere cracked out-when you find him please remember he is my son”. “Yes sir, we assure you he will be treated with respect”-that’s what good cops do!

Policing is not always about handcuffs & arrests. Anytime police can facilitate a large event, regardless of a groups affiliation, it is, in my opinion, stellar police work. Minimum chance of force being used by police reduces the risk of injury for all!….

Policing has taught me-everyone is someone’s daughter or son & everyone has a story. I’m going into “Tim’s” & a woman clearly down on her luck asked me 2 buy her “wedgies” & “tea” I agreed of course. Guy behind me- “you’ve lost your mind”-what goes around comes around guy-KARMA!
