Read this article together with the letter of the day section on page A15 and the letter on campus abortion on page A1. There is a pattern here. The dots must be connected. Campus's are allowing only radicals to speak because anyone else would cause conflict because the radicals will react physically against anyone they disagree with. The same philosophy is used by the police in Caledonia and, as I have personally seen, in keeping order on the streets of Toronto. To avoid this problem, some Universities like Carleton have passed on their responsibilities to student government.
Ford has said that we need 100 more policemen. We don't need more policemen to hand out speeding tickets to the elderly like me. We need them to keep order. This means arresting those that would use physical violence, not those that by legally protesting would cause the violent to react in violence.
The leadership and the culture of the police department must change. They must take the side of the majority of peaceful Canadians - and not protect the violent, by arresting those protesting their violence and often anti-Canadian attitudes.
The need for change, courage, and moral values in the police department and the university administration is clear.
