York Regional Police dance, host drag performance as crime skyrockets

Critics are arguing the performances are inappropriate given the rising crime rates in the region, such as a reported 92% increase in shootings and a 106% increase in carjackings.

On Wednesday's live stream, Drea Humphrey and Lise Merle discussed footage showing members of the York Regional Police dancing on a stage and watching a drag queen perform as crime in their region soars.

Despite the violent crime surge in York Region, footage circulating on social media this week shows officers performing a choreographed dance at an Asian Heritage Month celebration. Officers are seen making fists and holding their hands up in fighting stances during the performance.

Another video shows a drag queen dancing on stage as officers stand behind the performer and dance along.

Lise condemned police for the unprofessional public display as residents in their community seek answers to the spike in criminality.

"I can just hardly control my gag reflex watching a man dressed as a woman behaving like that in public, and having our public officials just standing in the background grinning," she said.

"The police are saying, and what the left-wing media will tell you, what the corrupt mainstream media will tell you, is that person on the stage is the most vulnerable population in the country, which is insane," Lise added.

As Drea explained, these performances, against the backdrop of escalating crime, raise serious questions about the allocation of police resources and priorities.

Canada's urban centres are spiraling into decay and chaos, with rampant crime, open drug use, and rising poverty turning once-desirable cities into places of fear. From violent knife attacks on Toronto’s public transit to open-air drug markets in Vancouver, these cities are becoming unrecognizable and unsafe, especially for families. Homeless encampments now dominate public parks and playgrounds, where drug paraphernalia litters spaces meant for children. And it’s not just Toronto and Vancouver — cities across the country are suffering as law and order give way to failed progressive policies. Sign our petition and follow our reporters as we investigate the true causes behind this urban decay and reveal what the mainstream media won’t.

    These people in blue are considered our first responders. We hold them in high esteem. To see their actions on stage, each one of them should be charged with dereliction of duty. How can we respect our law enforcement when crime is running rampant? We look to them for our protection, and how can I feel safe when I see a bunch of idiots, our police officers, making fools of themselves? I enjoy watching Blue Blood, and without a doubt, the PC would have all of them dismissed immediately, without pension and barred from serving in law enforcement for life. Yet during the trucker convoy, we saw many innocent lives ruined forever. What a bloody shame.

    Were I a criminal, I’d be likely to do my crime during times when so many cops were tied up at these perversion festivals. Why are these noisy people lauded in any case? Why not praise amateur radio operators who do much more for citizens, especially in an emergency.
