Mayor John Tory says gap is owing to Covid-19-related spending and revenue losses
, city staff said that the biggest victims of the deferred 2022 spending would be transportation services, primarily road rehabilitation, and the Toronto Transit Commission. About $174-million in money earmarked for this year would go unspent at those two departments.
Other areas that would feel the pinch include corporate real estate and the parks department, which would lose about $27-million in 2022 spending. Parks already was facing its own backlog of roughly $940-million over the next decade. “Cities, including Toronto, have had a reliable partner in the federal government since the start of the pandemic,” said Jessica Eritou, spokesperson for Ms. Freeland’s office, in an e-mail.

Failure of intelligence led to failure in policing during Freedom Convoy: 'levels of law enforcement must act sooner,' say insiders and expertsThe duration and severity of this past winter’s Freedom Convoy protest in downtown Ottawa began with a failure of intelligence leading to a failure in policing, and is “a confirmation of the failure of preparation,” say security experts and insiders following the Public Order Emergency Commission. Wesley Wark, national security expert and a senior fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation, said there is now a better understanding of policing failures which were very evident in the early days of the Freedom Convoy occupation in Ottawa and in terms of the border blockades. “Real policing failures, by which I mean an inability to respond quickly and effectively to these occupation, either in Ottawa or at the borders,” said Wark, who added that those failures were a direct product of intelligence breakdown. “Intelligence at all levels, from local police forces, to Ottawa police, to provincial, to federal especially, did not have a good handle on either the intentions or the capabilities of the Freedom Convoy protest,” said Wark. Wark pointed to the OPP’s “Project Hendon,” described in his newsletter as an “ambitious project to bring together law enforcement agencies from across Canada to study the rise of mass civil dissent and protests. The project initially focused on public safety threats prompted by a series of protests surrounding Indigenous issues such as the Wet’suwet’en pipeline protests in British Columbia and related protests in Ontario.
