THUNDER BAY — Thunder Bay–Rainy River MP Marcus Powlowski has asked the provincial government to direct a significant chunk of new federal guns and gangs funding to Thunder Bay, arguing the city’s high rates of violent crime make that an imperative.
It's a renewal of a federal crime prevention program that offered $65 million to Ontario from 2018 to 2023. “I am concerned that Thunder Bay will not receive the necessary infusion of federal money from the [program] to address the city’s escalating crime problem,” Powlowski wrote. “Since 2018 the Thunder Bay Police Service faced a worsening epidemic of violent crime, driven by escalating rates of opioid addiction and gang violence, resulting in Thunder Bay’s reputation as Canada’s ‘murder capital.’”
