1273: False Positive
Robin Maynard, Abolish the Police, Economic Injustice
Writer and activist Robin Maynard appeared on the "OPPO" podcast to discuss the abolition of police in Canada. Maynard argues that 80% of police calls involve mental health, drug overdoses, or domestic disputes that could be better handled by social workers. She advocates for redirecting police funding into community programming and housing to address the "root causes" of violence and economic injustice.
