Agreed with your first and second points, crime definitely is a separate discussion, I'm mixed on that.

Recall that I wrote "...had exhausted its usefulness", implying it was good, but unlikely to be as effective going forward.

The police forces are controlled by very right wing people, they don't put any energy into causes that they don't like, like loud and reckless driving cars.
It would be good to make the police forces more responsive to the communities they serve, but the left has no interest. Legalize drugs, make they only available through license sellers...and go after the unauthorized seller very very very hard, because those people don't care about you, or making Canada better.

but the left has no interest.

You mean the centrist liberals right? Progressives are 100% on board with changing the way law enforcement is done, top to bottom. Its a core of their platform.

The left can't communicate what it wants law enforcement to be.

Ah I see, its all the out of power progressives fault. Darn those progressives. Powerless and maligned but completely at fault for the abuses of leadership.

Aslo you frame it as if it was simply a problem of progressives communicating what centrists and the right just somehow cant see, or the centrists and right being willing to listen.

Could it be the centrists and right know exactly what the problems are and choose not to address them?
