But in the meantime, I think I'll start watching the Hull Stingrays! and learning french.
Do Police over there subscribe to a strict human rights charter like over here?

I can tell you for sure they get free Tim Horton's
On a serious note, they might have the same like we do, get a special rate at a certain bank. The BMO claims to be the bank for Canadian military, and offer a mortgage rate to us that other banks to match. My mortgage is not from them though

Look towards Scarborough in Toronto for violent crime.

Course, the Kingston Road can be rough but that's not the same as violent crime. 42 Div is busy with Scarborough Town Centre and certain areas around Morningside and Neilsen Road but even that is tiny compared to the overall numbers of people living in Scarborough ( > 500,000).
Of course, this is all off topic relating to the original post.

Re: Any Ontario Police
was chatting with some lads I used to work with on patrol some years back. They were saying that it is getting very difficult to move to specalized units with a lot of competition. Also less new recruits coming in.
Hiring is definately slowing down.
