Mayor Tory says he wants to bring an end to carding

Mayor John Tory has edged closer to saying he will end the practice of stopping citizens known as carding, but he hasn’t actually said that.  Mr. Tory is paraphrased in the Globe and Mail as saying he wants to stop the police practice known as carding (and) will seek a permanent end to the procedure at the next meeting of the police services board. That may be easy or hard to do. The matter of carding is a hugely divisive matter between the police service and a lobby group of black and white citizens. The claims and accusations about carding include that it prevents crime, is in fact racism and destroys the lives of young black men  Globe and Mail
