TORONTO - Ontario's community safety minister says provincial police Commissioner Julian Fantino didn't breach the Police Services Act when he wrote an angry email to councillors in Caledonia.
Monte Kwinter tells the Canadian Press he's reviewed the complaints his office received about the controversial e-mail, and says they didn't have any substance.
He says no one who received the e-mail complained, and he has continued confidence in Fantino's leadership.
But Haldimand County Mayor Marie Trainer says the decision is "100 per cent'' wrong, and was made before an outside investigator hired by Kwinter's office to look into the complaints had even finished his report.
She says Fantino should at least be disciplined for threatening elected officials.
Fantino's email, sent in April, suggested the town of Caledonia was encouraging divisive rallies against the policing of the ongoing aboriginal occupation there, and he threatened not to renew the Ontario Provincial Police's contract in the town.
