* Violent crimes are all those carried out or threatened against the body of another, such as assault.
* **In 2022, 29 percent of homicides were committed by someone on some form of release, such as house arrest or parole.**

Crumbling social infrastructure, mass immigration, low wages, expensive everything.Â
Every level of government is to blame.

I wasn’t sure what Trudeaus legacy would be in 2021. I knew I didn’t like him but the country seemed to.
Now I know what his and his families legacy will be. Filling this country with scoundrels and criminals and overseeing the greatest period of decline in Canadian history.
Hats off to our French Canadian friends for letting this animal stay in power a little longer.

And it’s still half of what it was in the 90’s. So pretty low. But that doesn’t make good conservative propaganda.

Yup, im 29. Up until I was 21, there were no major incidents in my town besides unfortunately suicides. Now we have missing persons, a cop shot someone, 2 murders, severe beatings, stabbing. All in the last 8 years.

I see the catch-and-release justice system is working as well as intended.

Meth is a hell of a drug.
I’d bet the majority of our problems can be traced to the surge of fentanyl entering the country in the 2010s, and how dangerous/unreliable the supply of that got during the pandemic leading to a shift towards meth, which dramatically increases propensity to crime. There is also a LOT of fetal-alcohol and other fetal-drug syndromes out there.
One thing to keep in perspective is that we’re now at mid-2000s level crime levels. They dropped then rebounded.

Are redditors full of shit?

There is a drug, namely, Fentanyl crisis, that’s behind a lot of the upsurge in violent crime.
