The issue is mostly not what the Liberals have done but what they have not done. The government needs to acknowledge there is a real problem
There is not so much a violent crime wave sweeping Canada as a tide of crime that has been rising for years, and is now reaching deeply concerning levels.by Statistics Canada are shocking: the number of police-reported violent crimes nationwide shot up to 531,243 in 2022, an increase of almost two-fifths from 2015, all of it on the Liberals’ watch.
As the accompanying chart shows, the high tide of gun crime has built over several years, but rose faster after 2019. Those numbers likely understate the extent of the rise in crimes involving guns, since they only count the specific firearms offences in the Criminal Code. Correlation is not causation, despite the fairly tight overlap of Liberal policies such as relaxed bail rules with the increase in violent crimes. Still, what Trudeau government policies could be seen as pushing back the tide of violent crime?, inadequate as it is, would make that list. So would the tightening of bail rules that the government promised in the spring, were the bill with those measures not stuck in first reading.
