Julian Falconer says the province could have demoted Brad Blair from his role of deputy commissioner at the Ontario Provincial Police instead of firing him outright and says his client had no opportunity to defend himself.
Blair alleges he was targeted by the government for waging a legal battle over the hiring of a long-time friend of Premier Doug Ford as head of the force. The government has said Blair was fired by a group of managers in the civil service who allege he broke an oath of confidentiality when he made internal OPP documents public.
Falconer says a discipline process must be initiated under the Police Services Act -- legislation that governs the conduct of officers -- in order to fire a police officer, and he says that didn't take place in Blair's case.
I would like to understand the difference between ' Democracy' and 'Dictatorship'. If people CANNOT elect their rulers, the rulers do whatever they want and here we elect our rulers, and the same happens. So my 2nd question is, why do I waste my time t vote? Remember Librals too?
KingAndJames Firing the whistleblower of government corruption is not a good thing for our society. Makes people of integrity in the future a vanishing commodity.
Didn’t like Blair, glad to see a change.
It shows balls that this guy and others have stood up to blatant arrogance that these political leaders have demonstrated. In the end we will pay . Mark my words... wrongful dismissal.
Shocker his defense lawyer would say that lol
Says the lawyer....
Blair leaked confidential information. Period. End of story. Definitely grounds for dismissal
