PHILADELPHIA - The Democrat who will almost certainly become Philadelphia's next mayor wants to hire hundreds of additional police officers to walk their beats and get to know residents.

She wants to devote resources to recruiting more police and says officers should be able to stop and search pedestrians if they have a legitimate reason to do so.Those positions, particularly the search policies that have been criticized for wrongly targeting people of color, would seem out of step in a progressive bastion like Philadelphia.

But Cherelle Parker trounced her rivals in this week's mayoral primary with a message that centered on tougher law enforcement to combat rising crime and violence.While local politics don't always align with the ideological divides that guide the national debate, Parker's victory offers a fresh case study for Democrats as they wrestle with how to approach the issue of violent crime, which increased in many U.S.

cities during the pandemic and continues to be top of mind for voters across the country. The issue has divided Democrats from city halls to the White House, particularly over how much to rely on policing and incarceration to solve what many see as social problems, such as drug abuse and homelessness.Parker, a former state legislator and city council member, argued that it’s a false choice to decide between investing in policing and addressing broader societal problems."It is not either/or," the 50-year-old Parker said during the campaign.That approach helped her defeat progressive rival Helen Gym by more than 25,000 votes.

Why one Ontario animal rescue is being inundated with unwanted dogs

animal rescue agency is asking for help as adoption rates sit at an all-time low while more dogs are coming into their care.Precious Paws Rescue says that post-pandemic, and with the rising cost of living, they are seeing an increase in dogs being given up and a decrease in people looking to adopt a furry friend.The animal rescue agency is a charity that helps re-home dogs from shelters and owner surrenders and helps owners who can’t afford pet food or emergency surgeries.The rescue’s founder says 2023 has been the most challenging year for adoption applications in their 17 years of operation.“COVID brought a huge surge in people who wanted dogs because they were at home, and it was just more feasible for them. During COVID, we had all kinds of applications, and the dogs were placed in homes fairly quickly once they were ready for adoption,” Cassandra Hauck says.“This year, we’re finding even that healthy, happy, 12-week-old puppies are not getting applications very quickly.”She says they are seeing a lot of dogs purchased during the pandemic that were not properly trained are now being given up.Hauck says they’re seeing more dogs being surrendered, and need more people looking to adopt.She notes on average, they usually have between 10 to 20 dogs at a time in foster homes, but right now, they have 25.Some of their dogs have been with foster families for more than a year.“I think that people being back working outside of the home is making it more difficult to have time for pets in their home.

PHILADELPHIA - Voters in Philadelphia are determining who will likely lead the nation's sixth-largest city in a crowded field of Democratic candidates on Tuesday, as the city faces upticks in gun violence and quality-of-life issues that make people feel unsafe.Five front-runner candidates — including former city council members, former city officials and a grocery store franchiser — have sought to differentiate themselves in a tight contest.The Philadelphia race serves as the latest barometer of how residents of some of the nation’s largest cities hope to emerge from the pandemic, which heightened concerns about crime, poverty and inequality. The results have sometimes been tumultuous in other parts of the country, leading to the defeat of the incumbent mayor of Chicago in February and the ouster of San Francisco’s district attorney last year.Philadelphia voters will choose between front-runner candidates including former council members Allan Domb, Helen Gym and Cherelle Parker; former city controller Rebecca Rhynhart; and political outsider and grocer Jeff Brown.
