Well, #WRPS, in my ideal world, the police budget wouldn't be almost a third of the entire Regional budget. #WRcouncil

A drawing of Meta Drew from Disyte. Whoof. He’s posed in his Meta outfit, holding a scabbard in one hand and the sword in the other, held in a relaxed position. He has one leg out from under his wrps, showing off his muscled thigh and calf along with one foot. His upper body is also similarly on display, his bolo tie wrapped around his neck and flowing outwards in front of his generously-sized chest. His arm decorations, earrings, and bandage skirt are all billowing as if they’re moving in the wind. Either Drew is about to challenge you to a very homoerotic duel, or he’s about to protect you from any number of assailants. Your choice!

Well, look at this. We have a #WRcouncil motion to reject the current version of the WRPS capital budget and it comes from (somewhat surprisingly) Mayor Vrbanovic! pub-regionofwaterloo.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx...
Text: Councillor B. Vrbanovic, Police Budget Recommended Motion: Whereas the 2026 Waterloo Region Police Service proposed operating budget reflects the increased operational policing needs expressed by our growing community; And whereas the Waterloo Region Police Service (WRPS), under contract at the present time with the Region of Waterloo as the PSAP for emergency services within Waterloo region has identified the need for a new, modern communications centre to serve our community and their contractual partners; And whereas the WRPS has expressed an ambition to build a shared services centre that goes beyond their mandate as a PSAP and as a police service; And whereas as of this date no potential partners have come forward with a signed agreement to be part of an over-sized new facility, and it is highly unlikely that all three emergency services would engage in this partnership in any foreseeable future; Be It Resolved: That Region of Waterloo Council not approve the 2026 Waterloo Regional Police Service Capital Budget as presented; And further that Region of Waterloo staff send the proposed budget to the WRPS and be directed to work with the Waterloo Region Police Service to bring back a capital budget for consideration that reduces the overall capital ask by WRPS to something that is both more affordable and considers overall debt load by Region of Waterloo taxpayers when considering other critical investments and needed debt for the region and area municipalities including for affordable housing, water system improvements, local share of the new hospital, transit expansion, infrastructure renewal and more; And further that the Region of Waterloo Council approve the proposed 2026 WRPS Operating budget, recognizing that the operating budget begins to address key community public safety needs being called for by our growing community.

If the #WRPS are going to charge municipalities to provide services that have long been provided at no cost, might it make sense for the municipalities to charge WRPS for access to city infrastructure? #KitCouncil www.therecord.com/news/council...

And, we're only talking about the police operating budget. That doesn't even include the 10-year capital forecast for WRPS which comes in at $452.5 million.

Let's give this a try, instead. #WRPS www.therecord.com/news/waterlo...
Changed paragraph to say reductions should come from the police budget increase, not community groups funding.

Fixed it.
Instead of saying no to community groups, the text has been amended to say no to the wrps budget increase to recognize taxpayers' ability to pay.

The Kitchener mayor is asking staff to come back with $7 million in further reductions but opposed the motion to ask the #WRPS to reduce their proposed budget increase by $4 million. Disappointing. #WRcouncil www.therecord.com/news/waterlo...

If the #WRPS were focused on community safety as a whole, rather than growing the institution itself, their budget would look much different, as would their engagement with residents and community organizations working on prevention and harm reduction.

We might give this argument more credence if the Police Services Board didn't largely rubber stamp most everything the WRPS brings forward. www.therecord.com/news/waterlo...
Text: “By approving the 2026 budget estimates, the police service board has made it clear that the PSCC project is essential to WRPS’ ongoing and future operations and emergency response capabilities,” McLean stated in his letter.

I have a more basic question than "why did the WRPS choose to deploy a sniper at a university street party?" and that question is "why does the WRPS _have_ snipers?".

The increased militarization of police forces throughout my lifetime is not a net good in any way that I can see.

Kitchener, Ontario has had a series of hate crimes over the last several years.
