accessible.Yeah, exactly.
Carmi LevyGUEST
It's, it's how far do we set that line? You know, uh, Myron Demkiw, the Toronto police chief, has said cops need the right tools, uh, and they don't have them right now.
Carmi LevyGUEST
And, you know, this particular gun-for-hire case shows exactly how criminals are using encrypted messaging apps to hide themselves, uh, and to sort of stay one step ahead of law enforcement.
Carmi LevyGUEST
But so yeah, we, we have to give- put those tools in the pockets of law enforcement without necessarily exposing the rest of us to unnecessary risk, and that is a very fine line.

In Chow's absence, the format was changed to separate one-on-one interviews with Alexander and Bradford conducted by Jesse Brown, the founder of the Canada Land Media Company, who had been tapped as debate moderator.
Elizabeth OrtellNARRATOR
Earlier in the day, Chow stood with Police Chief Myron Demkiw at Toronto Police headquarters to announce plans to increase police visibility ahead of the High Holy Days.
Elizabeth OrtellNARRATOR
This will include deploying task force guardian officers who have tactical training and rifles in Jewish areas.
Elizabeth OrtellNARRATOR
Jewish Torontonians should not need police presence to go to a synagogue, a community center, or simply to live proudly Jewish in our city, but they do," said Chow.
Arshy MannHOST
This was the thing that came to dominate the conversation around this story, and I mean, how could it not? It's an almost cartoonishly unflattering detail for a police force already hemorrhaging public goodwill.

The Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw responded to the badge flashing specifically by saying this.
Myron DemkiwSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Let's be clear about one thing.
Myron DemkiwSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The badge we carry, the uniform we wear, is not a shield.
Ezra LevantHOST
Seven.
Ezra LevantHOST
Yes, there's record crime going on in Toronto right now, but Chief Myron Demkiw, he's more concerned with so-called thought crimes than, you know, actual crime.
Ezra LevantHOST
Not only did we receive hundreds of dollars in bogus fines, but Toronto's thought police said we needed a permit to display the messaging, and they demanded that we turn off our billboards.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You need to switch it off now.
Ezra LevantSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You know what? There are, there are a thousand billboards in Toronto.
Ezra LevantSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There's 20 billboard trucks, and the fact that you're picking on the Rebel News one is quite conspicuous.
Ezra LevantSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's pretty, pretty clear this is Myron Demkiw's attempt.
Ezra LevantSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You know what?

They're storing their firearms correctly.
Jeff RutledgePANELIST
And the reality is we even saw, uh, Demkiw out talking about the, the vast, vast, vast majority of gun crimes in this country are, uh, come from illegal guns that come over the, the, over from the States.
Jeff RutledgePANELIST
So, um, exciting to see, actually.

CTV Toronto did a kind of an interesting streeter yesterday, asking people if they find it to be a better situation that the mayor's race features really two major candidates, and then Chris Alexander, and is that better than when we had, uh, 92 candidates, including a dog, in the last election cycle.
