CAYUGA, ONT.— A criminal charge against Ontario’s top cop over allegations he tried to influence municipal officials was withdrawn Wednesday, a move that the activist who brought the private charge against provincial police Commissioner Julian Fantino vowed to fight.
Gary McHale has been pushing to have Fantino charged after the commissioner allegedly sent an email in 2007 telling the mayor and councillors in Caledonia, Ont., not to attend McHale’s rallies. McHale led a number of rallies in the community to protest what he called two-tier justice in the policing of an aboriginal land occupation.
