Two years after the defund the police movement, police budgets increase across Canada
The worldwide protests against police racism and violence in the summer of 2020 brought greater public attention to police spending.
In city after city, activists and other residents demanded that governments defund the police and reinvest in communities. Public support for this demand was evident in the streets, as well as in public opinion polls that registered significant support for defunding the police.
Despite that support, the demand to defund the police and reinvest in communities has not been implemented in any Canadian city.
