Here's what advocates say is missing from the conversation about crime and public safety in B.C.

It did not say the suspect was the victim’s husband. It did not say he was facing other intimate-partner-violence-related charges at the time of the alleged murder.

When officials talk about declining public safety, they talk about an increase in street disorder, random assaults, and often petty crimes perpetrated by so-called “repeat offenders” who are out on bail.

Rodeo,

So what’s the data on crime increasing in Canada?

Or are they just drumming up support for militarizing the police?

The latter.

I can help the police out here: People are stealing because they’re poor and can’t afford rent or groceries. You showing up 12 hours later to tape up the scene isn’t going to stop anything.

So edge. Such beret.

It’s weird how that’s still illegal and not everyone steals. It’s like some people still won’t take from their neighbours - by wrecking the jobs where their neighbours work - but some assholes will.
