A darker shade of blue : a police officer's memoir / by Merith, Keith,author.;
Sixteen-year-old Keith Merith finds himself pulled over, berated, and degraded by a white police officer. He's done nothing wrong-he was only looking for a parking spot. But the officer has the power, and he doesn't. Keith never wants to be in that position again. From that day on, he vows to join a police service and effect change from within. Twelve years and thirteen police services later, Keith is finally hired by the York Regional Police. Although subjected to unfair treatment and constant racial "pinpricks", he perseveres and gradually rises through the ranks. After a stellar career and passionate pursuit of systemic change, Keith retires at the rank of superintendent. But his desire for sustained and equitable change persists. In 'A Darker Shade of Blue', Keith advocates for immediate police reform-starting with recruitment. He wants to see inclusive law enforcement agencies reflecting their communities and behaving in a manner that honours their obligation to serve and protect citizens equally. As a Black man charged with the duty to serve, Keith delivers an evocative perspective on all sides of policing by providing the opportunity to walk in his shoes.

An emergency in Ottawa : the story of the Convoy Commission / by Wells, Paul A.(Paul Allen),author.;
Includes bibliographical references."On Feb 14, 2022, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made what might be the most controversial decision of his tenure, invoking the Emergencies Act to end a three-week occupation of downtown Ottawa by truckers protesting mandatory COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Proclaimed in 1988, the Emergencies Act is designed to give federal officials extraordinary powers in the event of threats to Canada's national security that can't be managed under existing laws. Trudeau used it to make the protest illegal, freeze the accounts and cancel the vehicle insurance of participants, requisition tow trucks to clear protestors from the streets, among other measures. The government defended the first-ever invocation of the act as just and necessary; several premiers and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association called it an assault on democratic rights and civil liberties. As required by the act, Trudeau appointed a commission of inquiry into its use. Last November, justice Paul Rouleau held three weeks of riveting hearings that included testimony by so-called Freedom Convoy organizers, police officials, cabinet ministers, and Trudeau himself. Award-winning author Paul Wells was a regular visitor to the inquiry. Witnesses described layer on layer of dysfunction and acrimony in every organization that converged on Parliament Hill--three levels of government, three police forces, and the protesters themselves. How does a society make crucial decisions when everyone is exhausted, nothing works, and the noise from the truck horns and the shouting is deafening? And how do the protagonists regroup to make their case in the sterile, weird environment of a public inquiry? That's the story inside-a-story of the Emergency in Ottawa."--
