🇨🇦 Ontario hires retired judge to investigate police corruption — because nothing says accountability like letting the system audit itself

The Ford government has appointed retired judge William Hourigan to oversee a police corruption review. A former insider tasked with exposing rot in a network he spent decades embedded within. Classic Canadian theater: the same institutions that bred the problem now hand-pick the auditor. Zero structural reform, maximum optics. Hourigan may be competent, but this playbook guarantees one outcome — a carefully worded report that protects the brand while sacrificing a few expendable names.

Meanwhile, Ontarians are expected to trust that police forces drowning in DEI quotas, political capture, and budget bloat will somehow purge their own corruption. The real question isn't whether bad cops exist — it's whether any institution in this country still has the spine to hold power accountable without a pre-approved script.
