City of Montreal budget survey asks whether we want to defund the police

Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante has encouraged Montrealers to vote in a survey on how the the city budget should be spent. One of the eight questions included in the survey concerns where funding should be reduced, and one of the three options presented is the Montreal police department:

“For a second year, the city of Montreal wishes to know the opinion of Montrealers in order to prepare a budget that suits them and meets their expectations!”
