The lawyer for Umar Zameer, who was acquitted in the 2024 death of Toronto police officer Det. Const. Jeffrey Northrup, says he has “serious misgivings” about an Ontario Provincial Police investigation into officers’ conduct during the case. According to the lawyer, neither he nor Zameer were contacted during the review, raising concerns about the scope and fairness of the process. The OPP completed the investigation and delivered its report, but it is now up to the Toronto Police Service to decide whether to release it publicly. The case has continued to spark debate about police accountability following the high-profile trial.

Ontario’s attorney general says the province is exploring whether pepper spray could be legalized for personal self-defence, a move that would mark a major shift in Canada’s weapons laws. Currently, pepper spray designed for use against people is classified as a prohibited weapon under the Criminal Code, meaning civilians cannot legally carry it for protection. 

Supporters argue the change could give people, especially women and vulnerable residents, a non-lethal option to protect themselves. Critics warn it could increase misuse or escalate violent confrontations. The idea remains under discussion as Ontario examines possible legal and policy options.

Ontario is proposing major changes to its Freedom of Information (FOI) laws, including removing the premier’s office, cabinet ministers and their staff from the scope of FOI requests. The government says the update is part of a broader effort to modernize privacy and cybersecurity rules after decades without major changes. Critics argue the move could reduce transparency and make it harder for journalists and the public to access government records. The proposal would also extend response timelines and introduce updated procedures for handling large information requests.
