Michael Kerzner

Michael Kerzner supports adding a new Ontario Provincial Police detachment at Ontario Place to patrol highways, maintain a strong on-site policing presence, and ensure the safety of families and visitors, including marine, mounted and traffic units.

Kerzner's position: improperly released inmates are promptly re-apprehended and returned to custody — he repeatedly asserted immediate re-apprehension, later correcting himself to say local police were notified immediately and apologizing for inaccurate claims.

Kerzner insists inmates must remain in custody until courts decide otherwise, condemns administrative errors by court or corrections staff that cause accidental releases, emphasizes notifying police, rapid re‑apprehension, and investments in corrections to address the problem.

Kerzner says he will investigate improper inmate releases, emphasizes frequent movement in and out of the correctional system, and highlights provincial investments in correctional facilities — indicating support for increased jail capacity and infrastructure to address overcrowding.

Kerzner supports a substantial expansion of Ontario's jail capacity, endorsing an aggressive multi-phase plan to build as many beds as needed to protect the province, including expanding modular jail builds to add several hundred additional beds.

Michael Kerzner supports proceeding fully with construction of a new provincial jail in Kemptville, affirming the Ontario government is '100 per cent' moving forward with plans to build the facility as part of expanding correctional bed capacity in eastern Ontario.

Kerzner criticized the Toronto Police Service for insufficient enforcement of hate, intimidation and harassment offences at protests, issuing a Dec. 30 letter urging a more visible, robust police response to protect residents' safety and freedom of movement.

Kerzner supports strengthening penalties for dangerous and impaired driving, endorsing legislation enacted after "heartfelt reflection" and saying the government will not tolerate such conduct—insisting those who endanger others must face real consequences to protect public safety.

Michael Kerzner supports immediate, strong and meaningful bail reform, arguing Canada's federal bail system is broken because it allows violent, repeat offenders back onto the streets; he calls for urgent measures to tighten bail for public safety.
