How a council meltdown let down a city in crisis

Mayor Jim Watson may have had reasons to lose faith in OPS board, but he squandered his credibility years ago

Watch Wednesday’s contentious council meeting in 7 minutes

8 months ago
Duration 7:08
Ottawa city council voted to overhaul the police services board Wednesday night amid the ongoing occupation of the downtown core, leading to accusations of political posturing and calls for the mayor to resign.

It's not often — in fact, it's never — that an Ottawa city council meeting garners national attention. Last week's histrionics attracted more than 10 times the usual eyeballs on YouTube, spawning news commentaries that characterized it as everything from appalling to dysfunctional and embarrassing to any reasonable citizen of this city.

Watching the tears, the accusations, the ousting of the police oversight board's chair and calls for the mayor to resign, you might well believe this city council imploded under the weight of the historic civil unrest the capital has experienced this month.

But for close observers, council's conduct wasn't a surprise. Instead, it was the culmination of years of rivalry, pettiness and personality politics, all coming to a head at the worst possible moment.

Although all members bear some responsibility for last Wednesday's debacle, the mayor is the head of council and his leadership has set the tone for the divisiveness that has characterized his most recent term of office.

From the moment Jim Watson was re-elected in 2018, he effectively froze downtown councillors out of leadership positions, and has passed over more experienced councillors — who may not agree with him — for newbies who may have to lean more on his office for help.

And with Diane Deans now removed as head of the Ottawa Police Services Board, not a single woman chairs a council committee or board, despite the fact that one-third of council is female.


Several councillors told Mayor Jim Watson they had lost confidence in his ability to lead the city and called on him to resign at a lengthy and emotional council meeting last week. (Laura Osman/CBC)

That there's no love lost between Deans and Watson is hardly news.

The mayor has rebuked Deans publicly on many occasions. He's rebuffed her calls for an audit of the LRT (which council later approved), slammed her suggestion to cut bus fares in the summer of 2019 until the delayed LRT was up and running (council later offered free fares for an entire month) and had her microphone cut off during a debate on a possible judicial inquiry over the LRT, for which he apologized the next day. (It's worth noting the province is moving full-speed ahead with its own public inquiry on the Confederation Line at this very moment.)

Watson even once refused to allow Deans to ask a question at the finance committee meeting, to which she does not belong, which is completely unheard of.

So when Watson told Deans last week he no longer had confidence in her as the chair of the police board, it's understandable that some saw the move as a personal vendetta or, as one councillor put it, "100 per cent political."

Here's the thing: Maybe it wasn't.

Consider that Deans, with the backing of the police services board, signed a contract to hire an interim police chief from outside the city within 24 hours of Peter Sloly resigning as police chief. In fact, the news release announcing the shocking resignation of the police chief — in the middle of a massive crisis — on Feb. 15 ended with the statement that the board "will be appointing a new chief very soon."

Apparently, "very soon" meant the following day.

Now, the police services board is an autonomous body, and has every right to hire a new chief. But it's an unquestionably odd move to bring in someone — even if it's on a short-term basis, even if he's well-regarded — without discussing the matter with the mayor and council first, to say nothing of the public, and just as an operational plan to end the downtown occupation is being launched.

That's not to say the board should have to have council's approval, but it should not have come as a surprise that many of Deans's council colleagues were none-too-happy to be blindsided by the news. It should be noted that three board members resigned in support of Deans.

Duration 6:06
City Coun. Diane Deans joins Power & Politics to discuss being ousted as chair of Ottawa's Police Services Board and the latest on the protests occupying the city's downtown.

Among the analysis and soul-searching that will occur over the events of the past month will be serious questions regarding police governance.

And in the coming weeks, we may have more clarity over whether Deans made a too-fast decision, or Watson overstepped his authority having Deans removed from the police services board.

But it should never have come to this.

Elected officials should disagree. They should hold various perspectives, be able to argue behind closed doors, and at public meetings.

What they shouldn't do is get entrenched in deep divisions that make it impossible to have constructive discussions during a city crisis. The mayor and Deans should have been able to come to some sort of mutual agreement — or at the very least be able to talk over a decision of this magnitude for more than five hours on the day the contract is completed.

Perhaps Watson could have asked the board to consider waiting until after the truck protesters were cleared out of the downtown core before bringing someone in from the outside. Perhaps Deans could have let council know the board's plans before signing on the dotted line.

Duration 7:07
Ottawa City Coun. Eli El-Chantiry joins Power & Politics to discuss being the new chair of the Police Services Board and the latest on the protests occupying the city's downtown.

None of this happened because there's no trust on this council between what's been dubbed the Watson Club —those who often vote with the mayor — and the Detention Club detractors.

Everyone's to blame, from those who let the mayor's office whip their votes, to those who ratchet up the rhetoric, or call for the mayor to resign. 

(It's hard to see how Watson leaving in the middle of this mess would help. Would we be in better shape handing over the reins to one of the deputy mayors, such as first-term Coun. Laura Dudas? Or drive-and-Zoom Coun. George Darouze, who dissented on a council motion to apologize to downtown residents for failing to provide safety and security to them during the protests?)

As the head of council, though, Watson needs to take ownership for the broken culture at council, and he's bearing the brunt of that now. 

The mayor might have a valid, non-political, reason not to support Deans's decision to hire an interim chief — that remains to be seen — but he's squandered any benefit of the doubt many may have afforded him on this issue.

OPP Insp. Pat Morris pleads guilty to discreditable conduct

Postby Thomas » Tue Oct 18, 2016 1:05 am

The man leading Orillia OPP pleaded guilty to discreditable conduct earlier this year after becoming "inappropriately" involved in a police investigation.

Insp. Pat Morris entered the guilty plea under the police service's code of conduct during an April disciplinary hearing before OPP Supt. Greg Walton for his involvement in a case last summer after a young driver threw a bottle out of his window at a passing motorcyclist.

"Inspector Morris knew or reasonably ought to have known his actions were discreditable," Walton wrote in the disciplinary report obtained by the Packet & Times.

"After reviewing all of the evidence and considering the submissions, I accept the joint penalty position and order Inspector Morris to forfeit 50 hours."

Morris declined to discuss the matter when contacted Thursday.

During the tribunal, Walton heard Morris took an active role in an ongoing criminal investigation involving an unidentified youth he knew.

It all began Aug. 6, 2015, when Const. Robert Brigden saw a youth driving in front of him throw a Gatorade bottle out of the window, striking a motorcyclist travelling in the opposite direction. The youth then veered into the oncoming lane, accelerated and sped off, travelling through the streets of Orillia.

Brigden followed, observed the driver failing to stop at a stop sign and activated the lights and siren. The youth pulled over and was arrested and charged.

Later that day, the boy's father called Morris, since the inspector knew both the man and his son.

The next day, an off-duty Morris used his personal cellphone to call Brigden to ask about the incident. Morris told Brigden he knew the family and that the youth was a "good kid" and that the conduct was out of character for him.

Morris then asked Brigden whether he had considered "diversion" (i.e. community service, apology letter, etc.) instead of laying a criminal charge, and told the officer to call him back after he had spoken to the boy's father.

Morris next called Sgt. Robin Moore, Brigden's direct supervisor, to make further queries about the investigation. Morris also reiterated his hope the charge could be dealt with through diversion, telling Moore the youth was a "good kid" from a good family, who had "screwed up."

He also told Moore he would be in touch later that evening to see how the meeting between Brigden and the youth's father went.

When Brigden returned to work several days later, Morris again asked him about the investigation and indicated he would like to attend the meeting between the younger officer and Crown attorney, when the charge was to be discussed.

He also told Brigden he had received numerous text messages from the youth's father, who was concerned for his son with regard to the pending criminal charges.

A couple of weeks later, Morris showed Brigden a text message he had sent the youth's father, saying he couldn't get involved in the matter because "it would be a conflict of interest." The report indicated Morris had heard Brigden felt he was "butting his nose" into his investigation. Morris also spoke with Moore to make it clear he wasn't interfering.

Morris later received an apology letter via email from the youth that he then printed, placed in an official OPP envelope and delivered personally to the motorcyclist.

"Inspector Morris identified himself as an OPP officer and as a friend of the family," the report reads. "He further indicated that he was there on behalf of the youth's family. (The motorcyclist) was left with the impression Inspector Morris was the detachment liaison officer."

Morris didn't give Brigden a copy of the apology letter that included an "exculpatory statement" with respect to the incident. The officer later obtained the letter from the motorcyclist and ensured it was disclosed as required in the court file.

Morris later approached an assistant Crown attorney outside of office hours to talk about the case and again mentioned the possibility of diversion. The lawyer disagreed and also suggested Morris's actions were inappropriate. Brigden didn't learn for some time this particular meeting had taken place without him.

Morris was represented at the April meeting by Commissioned Officers' Association president Insp. John Trude, while Insp. Charles Young served as counsel representing the OPP's professional standards bureau (PSB).

In his decision, Walton noted since Morris pleaded guilty, the main issue revolved around determining the appropriateness of the proposed joint sanction.

"I am not concerned about Inspector Morris' ability to reform; I do not anticipate behaviour of a similar nature in the future," Walton said in the report. "I view this as an isolated incident and I found his apology to be completely genuine."

But Walton said he found the evidence clear and convincing that Morris committed serious misconduct.

"The public must recognize that the OPP will not tolerate behaviour of this nature; this violation of trust must be viewed as a significant aggravating factor," he wrote in his decision.

"This was not an incident in isolation; it was a series of transgressions. Inspector Morris had an opportunity to evaluate his actions at every juncture."

As a mitigating factor, Walton pointed out Morris has been a model police officer with an exemplary record, who took responsibility immediately when approached by PSB investigators and apologized to those affected by his actions.

"Inspector Morris has a very high-profile position in his community and is very active in the community personally," he said. "He is very well known and respected for his extensive personal and professional commitments."

By taking into account both the mitigating and aggravating factors of the case, Walton said he found the sanction "fair, measured and appropriate."

"Specifically, Inspector Morris is required to work an additional 50 hours beyond what is expected of him as the detachment commander of Orillia detachment, to be completed at the earliest opportunity in consultation and agreement with his regional commander."

Young told the Packet & Times Morris accepted full responsibility and the matter was resolved at the earliest opportunity.

"Part of being human is that we make mistakes from time to time," he said. "The important piece for anyone is that we learn from those mistakes as we move forward. Insp. Morris is a professional, dedicated commander and community leader. He continues to be held in the highest of regards by the OPP."

 Insp. Pat Morris

Orillia OPP commander taking job with force?s Provincial Operations Intelligence Bureau

Orillia Packet and Times
Wednesday, July 19, 2017

The search is on for Orillia's next top cop.

Insp. Pat Morris, commander of Orillia OPP, is leaving his post in early September to become deputy director of the force's Provincial Operations Intelligence Bureau.

Mayor Steve Clarke, who chairs the Orillia Police Services Board, said Wednesday interviews to fill the vacancy are expected to begin later this month.

"We have some terrific candidates," Clarke said.

But both the mayor and Coun. Jeff Clark, who also sits on the police board, had high praise for what Morris has meant to the local force in terms of leadership and ability.

"We're happy for him and for this opportunity," Clarke said. "I thought he brought tremendous value to the job. He understood the community and the community's needs. He was also very good at collecting and acquiring data."

Clark, meanwhile, said Morris worked hard to improve the force by elevating the detachment's community policing program while also effectively articulating the difference between criminal activity and situations connected to mental-health issues.

"I'm a big supporter of community policing and our vulnerable population," Clark said, adding Morris also showed tremendous skill at ensuring the city's most vulnerable were treated fairly.

"I've really enjoyed working with Pat. I think he has really worked well with the team."

Over the years, Morris has held a number of prominent posts across the province, including a term as director of policing programs and community initiatives with the Aboriginal Policing Bureau, and he once managed the provincial anti-terrorism section as part of the Integrated National Security Enforcement Team. He has also worked in organized crime and covert operations.

"I've been with the OPP for 21 years," Morris said. "I've never had a bad job in the OPP."

Morris took over the top Orillia job in January 2015. Born and raised in the city, he began his policing career with OPP in 1996 and was posted to the Orillia detachment four years later, working as a constable. He also worked with the local detachment as a staff sergeant in 2010.

he said leaving his current workplace is bittersweet.

"I really enjoyed the opportunity to play this role," Morris said, noting he liked seeing tangible results and impacts from the department's programs while also working with a strong group of front-line officers.

"I'm going to miss seeing the motivation of our front-line officers," he said. "It's an incredibly busy detachment. Orillia is a very safe place and there's a lot of great work that gets done."

In his new role, Morris will be involved with a unit that specializes in collecting, verifying and analyzing intelligence data with a goal of anticipating, preventing and monitoring criminal activity throughout the province. Team members collect, assess and share intelligence data within the OPP and with other law-enforcement agencies.

"The intelligence bureau pursues criminal intelligence through overt and covert means," Morris said.
