He stated that while he doesn't like to compare Canada to the United States, we do take "different approaches up here."
Ford outlined the reasons why he thinks this. "In this country, it's not about do you love the police or do you love the Black community? You know something, you can love both," he said.
"We can all get along...And we will get along. There's areas that we need more education on...We're putting the resources there."
"We take different approaches up here. I understand there's issues and we're addressing those issues. We're putting more training into our police officers as well, and we're gonna help everyone right across the board."
