one problem we have in Ontario is the wages of Police, and firefighters, have gotten out of control.  Just because some police forces are overpaid does not mean they all should be.  the average taxpayer does not make anywhere near $87,000.00 per year.  There are many skilled trades who do not make anywhere near an RCMP officer.  I do not want to belittle their job, but there are many jobs out there which have higher accident rates also.  The taxpayer, and country cannot afford these high wages
