New York Police and Broken Windows Policing

The New York police are taking part in a job action. Numbers of arrests have dropped considerably over the last couple of weeks.

Possibly the police believe that serious crime will increase, giving them negotiating leverage.

But…

2015 and a Federal Election

Yep, it’s 2015, and we have a Federal Election coming. Gotta love elections, they are soooo much fun to write about.

What I can tell you right now is that all four National parties are screaming for cash (the Bloc Quebecois isn’t a national party since they only run candidates in Quebec). The Greens are the big loser on the money front, but they only have two MPs, so that isn’t surprising.

The Conservatives and the Liberals seem intent on playing Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. At some point I may see a real difference in their platforms, at present, well, the only discernible difference is the party colours.

It’s going to be a fun year.

Oh, and the Yanks have an election too. I’ll have fun skewering every politician in sight.
