Police in Canada may be better but there are still a ton of problems especially with indigenous populations.[1][2] Ontario has the SIU for police oversight but the new provincial government is meddling with it[3].

- 52-6F-62 7y agoI can say, at least from what I’ve heard, the OPP is not happy about the meddling at all. They have had enough bad press the past ten years they’ve been trying to fix that. My brothers an OPP constable in rural Ontario (and incidentally married to a teacher). They were not happy with the messing about, especially the Taverner case. From what I understand Blair was a highly respected officer as well and is generally considered to have fallen on his sword to prevent the insertion of a corrupt top official. Anyway I forgot about the SIU stuff. I’m going to have to pick his brain about it.
