Defund : black lives, policing, and safety for all / by Hudson, Sandy,1985-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Time and again we see police respond to minor calls with escalation, wrongful arrests, even murder. Reform programs are often poorly implemented and their impacts short-lived. Calls to "defund" the police have rung out across the nation, yet the actual meaning of the phrase remains unclear. In Defund, longtime activist and the founder of Black Lives Matter Canada, Sandy Hudson, elucidates what defunding the police actually means and why it matters, by exploring today's criminal landscape and the patterns and structures that result in safer, well-resourced communities. Hudson explores the origins of commonly held ideas about police and safety to show how police-related social policies are based more on a sensationalized idea of safety than on outcomes and data. Through interviews and sociological research, she demonstrates that law enforcement solves only a small number of the crimes that police are tasked to investigate, and even the process of assigning cases depends more on optics than on large-scale crime reduction. Conversely, safe neighbourhoods, rather than featuring an increased police presence, are rich in resources and social programs. After laying out the history and data behind our broken policing system, Hudson explores how communities can save lives as well as money by investing in themselves rather than in policing. She shows how simple changes to educational resources, community centres and civic engagement can not only make communities safer, but also better able to provide for their citizens in countless ways. Clear-eyed and hopeful yet pragmatic, Defund is the key to understanding why a future without police is not only entirely possible, but necessary"--

Wilful blindness : how a network of narcos, tycoons and CCP agents infiltrated the West / by Cooper, Sam,author.; Burton, Charles,writer of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references.In 1982 three of the most powerful men in Asia met in Hong Kong. That day they would decide how Hong Kong would be handed over to the CCP and how Chinese business tycoons Henry Fok and Li Ka-Shing would help Deng Xiaoping realize the CCP's domestic and global ambitions. That meeting would not only change Vancouver but the world. In 'Wilful Blindness', Sam Cooper reveals how BC government officials were aware of and potentially complicit in the resulting dirty money laundering scandal. Cooper is an award-winning Canadian journalist based in Ottawa, ON, cited as one of Canadas top investigative reporters.
