    This is ODSP coverage for almost a thousand people/years. But they’ll suffer brutal poverty.

    Waste of money

    No impact and surveillance drones are better at their function

        All he does is spend, it’s going to take decades to recover from him and our public services will never be the same

      hovering drones don’t have the range. airplane type drones can cost 100k and have their own limitations

        100k is nothing compared to a helicopter…which also has limitations

      car thieves aren’t slipping away in car chases. The car is in a box on a ship in the ocean before the cops know anything about it.

      If the cops start digging a bit into longstanding organized crime groups, the judge will jail them for a long time. Police aren’t bringing those cases.

      Pretty sure that car chase over a minor infraction that ended in a collision and a bunch of innocent people dead a couple of months ago has more to do with this than the car thefts. Assuming that there is any real-world basis for the purchase at all.
