Institutional reaction and provincewide review

Project South uncovers one of the worst cases of police corruption in Canadian history. 

The investigation into Toronto Police offers a staggering portrait of corruption, with allegations connecting officers to attempted assassinations, illegal firearms, drug trafficking, extortion, bribery, and leaking confidential information.

Plus, the death of “the last man in Africville” and the targeting of Jewish summer camps.
