It is wonderful to hear it is finally being addressed but there are still victims of the OPP’s ruthlessness and discrimination. For more information just visit the www.racisminopp.org and www.discriminationopp.org websites.

I thank the Ombudsman’s office for its comprehensive report on PTSD. However, another serious problem within the OPP is Racial Discrimination and Systemic Discrimination. Please visit the following site for detailed accounts of three cases one of which is currently before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario and is being covered by the Toronto Star: www.racisminopp.org
