Ontario government proposes new powers for transit special constables
Description
May 4, 2026
The Ontario government is moving to give special constables increased powers as part of an effort to crack down on illegal drug use in transit systems. As Megan King reports, the new law is being met with pushback by groups worried about re-victimizing vulnerable populations and a police association that wishes to take on the task itself.
