I thought this was made up nonsense, but for those who are thinking the same thing as me, a Toronto police officer really recommended doing exactly this [0].
Recently a man was shot and killed in a home invasion defending his family (also in Ontario). The police first claimed it was a targeted killing (implying the man was a gang member), then when that turned out false, the police said you should comply with home invaders instead of resisting...
It's good advice. Losing a car is much less worse than personal injury or worse. Everybody's a toughguy until a methhead who can't feel pain stabs you 15 times. Should the police crack down?

I love how "a Toronto police officer suggests" becomes "Canada recommends".

I hope you haven't extended that thinking-exercise to murders and more.
The Broken Window Fallacy strikes again!

This is a classic example of Poe's Law. If it's satire, it's brilliant. If it's serious, well ...
I don't know, as European resident it's serious and working solution.
Maybe people would if transit stations weren't de-facto homeless shelters and if it were safer to do so...
