(Toronto Sun) Deleting a problematic Toronto police podcast that saw uniformed TPS members praising the Oct. 7 terror attacks for increasing converts to Islam doesn’t go far enough to heal the rift with the city’s Jewish community, an advocacy group warns.
In a letter to Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw from Michelle Stock, Ontario VP for the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), merely deleting the offending podcast doesn’t address why police brass approved it in the first place.
“Its creation and uploading raise important questions about the oversight and appropriateness of its content,” Stock wrote.
“Specifically, the comments made by Const. Farhan Ali and Const. Haroon Siddiqui lead us to question how such remarks were allowed to be published on an approved Toronto Police platform, with both officers in uniform, without a proper review of their potential impact.”
