An injunction is in place until September, blocking the involuntary removal of any tent encampments in Hamilton. An ‘involuntary’ removal is not exactly what anyone wants, at any rate, but Hamilton still has to figure out how to address the issue of the encampments – and the issues behind why they exist in the first place. For some insight n on the predicament, we turn to London, Ontario, which has had its own encampments.

Toronto Mayor John Tory announced the beginning of sweeping reforms to the Toronto Police Services, which he says are likely to come in a span of weeks, rather than months or years. This comes in the wake of the publication of a new city report that outlines over 80 recommendations, addressing systemic racism in the force. Two significant proposed reforms involve creating non-police alternatives for communities, and identifying funding that can be relocated from the police budget to community safety models.

Is it possible for us to see changes like these happening in Hamilton in the near future? What would it take from the Police Services Board?

Guest: Larry DiIanni, former Mayor of the City of Hamilton
