Some Police from as far away as Canada and Michigan, attended the funeral of a NY officers when shot in the line of duty. Who pays for this is in Ontario or Canada?

The officer pays his own way and goes out of respect, not for a paycheck. We have to take vacation days or use personal time to do so. It is very rare for a department to pay officers to attend a funeral unless the department is sending you as an official Honor Guard. Most departments limit the sending of an Honor Guard to their local area (usually in the same state only).

Generally, officers pay their own way to attend a fellow officer's funeral, and despite what honeyinthelexus said, attending funerals is NOT a fringe benefit.

I can not say for Canada. But in the US the officers take personal time off ( use sick or vacation days) and travel normally at thier own expense. Some departmetns will allow use of a department van.
So no police are not paid for things like this, They care enough for fellow officers to do this on thier own.

omg, lets take time off work when a construction worker or trucker gets killed on the job
law enforcement in Canada is one of the safest jobs out there in regard mortality
the solidarity of LE is just part of psychology
it's all eroding away as their pay is way to high and people question wtf is going
some hockey of football star from highschool ends up being a over paid sergeant
the same drunk stoned idiot you knew way back is now giving you tickets and living high
think about it

They are not paid, they do it on their own time and dime.
