The OPP problem in Kenora

In the far north - Kenora - a policing situation has reached a democratic crisis. Last month, using Jack Watkin's report and recommendations, the Kenora City Council voted 4-3 to replace the Kenora Police Service with the OPP. This was a hotly contested issue and still remains controversial.

Last week the Kenora Police Service Board voted 3-2 not to disband read about it here. This now sets the stage for Council to confront the PSB. Seeing that Council has no power over the PSB except for the ability to set the budget, what will happen when the Council refuses to fund the PSB?

An interesting jurisdictional mess!
