"SNIP.....

Ron Taverner has requested that his name be withdrawn from consideration for commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Police.

"This decision is not an easy one for me to make," Taverner wrote in a letter to Community Safety Minister Sylvia Jones. "I believe the OPP requires new leadership and a change in culture at its most senior levels."

.....

Taverner's decision comes two days after the dismissal of OPP deputy commissioner Brad Blair. 

Blair was dismissed Monday for allegedly revealing confidential OPP information, which the Ford government has called a breach of his oath as an officer.


......SNIP"

The Doug Ford government realises if they act corrupt when they make a pal of Doug Ford Police Commisioner they will be tanking any chances the Fedral Conservatives have in 7 months when the country votes federally. They will be a pure as fresh snow. Bet this decision came from up high. And don't mean Andrew Scheer or Doug Ford. Conservatism in canada 'comes from away'.
