These unexpected tragedies also resulted in a firm response from Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who vowed to strengthen Canada's laws "in the area of surveillance, detention, and arrest."But for Canada's largest municipal police force, these two extreme crimes also, evidently, scared the cops enough to try and toughen up their security practices. Earlier this week, it was revealed that the Toronto Police Union has been lobbying for a special privilege: allowing their service members to carry guns off duty.
