McGuinty's promise to maintain current funding for police anti-gang initiatives -- which has not stemmed this summer's gang violence -- was basically a commitment to do nothing other than continue doing what hasn't worked.
Following Toronto's infamous Summer of the Gun in 2005, 400 additional police officers were assigned to city streets through a combination of increased provincial funding -- which McGuinty boasted about -- and an internal redeployment of the force.
That led to a wave of arrests that helped stem the carnage. Today, the Toronto force is down at least 175 officers due to budget cuts, but no one's talking all inclusive bahama vacation packages about bringing it up to its full complement.
