The article says they've been doing this for 10 years so it's not "new". It may not be new but it certainly is stupid. Anything beside English/French is pandering.

It is pandering. They have the top 5 languages other than English and French -

this was a way of letting the citizens of London know that our department was diverse as well.

Probably their way to convince gang kids from other ethnicities that the cops are cool, plus bonus of displaying muh diversity.

And it's in Hamilton, Ontario. Which is basically the C.H.U.D. capitol of Canada, everyone holds their breath and closes their eyes if they can when they cross they Hamilton Skyway bridge.

French is also pandering tbh.

Front du Liberation de Quebec taught us all long ago, terrorism works.

Not really. French is one of two "official" languages and always have been.

I'd like to think that the reasoning for this is because Canadians think Arabs are too stupid to tell a police car apart, but I feel like this is really the first step to giving up their country.

They've been doing this since 2009, it's not a new thing

It's one small city in Canada, and this is one of several languages displayed on police cars there. It's been like that for the last decade or so, during the reign of the conservative feds. Nobody there really gives a crap what's written on the cop cars.

Yeah the blue lights and guys with guns are not obvious enough.

They dont give a fuck about the cops because they dont do shit no matter what language you plaster your cars in.

Canadian here, never seen it in Montreal. I think French Canadians are too adamant about the French language to ever let arabic go on the car.

Why Arabic? Why not Mandarin, Korean, Punjabi? Are there more Arabs in Canada than the people who speak the previous mentioned languages?

Didn't actually read the article, eh?

To date, there’s been no record of anyone complaining about the cars’ Vietnamese, Chinese, Persian or Polish characters
