Join
host Annamarie Castrilli on LET'S TALK, for an exclusive
interview with Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner
Julian Fantino.
 Fantino
reflects upon his family’s immigration to Canada,
and the challenges currently facing law enforcement
in Canada’s multi-cultural society.
The Commissioner also cites his commitment to protecting
children from pedophiles and child pornographers, comparing
law enforcement’s battle with child pornography
to the war on international terrorism.
“We
have people who prey on children actively in this community.
Some of them are in positions of pillars of the community.
There is very much a false sense of security. It’s
just like saying there is no terrorism in Canada.”
The commissioner alludes to the fact that terrorism
has come to the forefront since September 11th, but
“we’ve had terrorism for a good long time”.
He
claims that measures to locate and punish offenders
are “drowned out by a pro-pedophile kind of movement”,
saying, “sentences that are being meted out don’t
really address the crime for what it is”.
Between
1991 and 1998, Fantino created controversy as Chief
of Police in London, Ontario, when he launched Project
Guardian. That comprehensive community child pornography
investigation raised protests from members of the gay
community, who accused the project of being homophobic.
Don’t
miss this revealing conversation with Ontario’s
top police official on LET'S TALK Thursday, March 22nd,
at 8:00pm. Special encore presentation at 11:00pm.
