What is going on in Canada, this Country never got this violent before.
@David The violent crime rate peaked in the early 90s because of the crack cocaine epidemic, not lead.
@tartrazine5 Canada was one of the last countries to ban leaded gasoline like until 1990 and usually lead levels lag behind crime rate a couple years. Crime rates are probably complex and have multiple causes but lead is definitely a part of it.
You should read about London Ontario,many children and woman murdered from 1959,to 1990s, they called it murder city . It had more murders per capita in North America then any where else. We also have more population.
I have not seen this in my 75 years in Canada.
It’s called the Liberal government and voters
Canada needs to bring back the death penalty and many Canadians feel sorry for the criminals, that is crazy.
Canada needs to protect the most basic Human Right of Self Defence.
Life for life like it use to be, we’re over populated anyways. Not life in comfortable tax paid prison with no responsibilities and vacation for rest of their worthless life. At least open work camps again.
@unknown If someone gets killed then they have to be executed by the government, that is not a human rights violation, what about the innocent victim in senseless violence.
@Hondo Trailside What are you going to say to the victim’s Family, the criminal made a mistake he deserves to live and terrorize another victim.
@Hondo Trailside How can you feel sorry for criminals.
Poor kid
I think the solution is simple. Lock these offenders away for the rest of their pathetic lives, instead of releasing them the next day.
Bring back capital punishment.
@Bellini94 for everyone who participated in the military, government, and who worked in the military industrial complex inshallah 🙏 we are western born Muslims and we follow one set of laws
@D. Roberts so nothing can be done and taxes and debt skyrocket? No thanks
There are many Canadians who believe that locking them is inhumane, the best way is to bring back capital punishment for murderers. For violent crimes without death, will spend at least 25- 50 years in Prison. For thefts such as car thefts and home burglars 10 to 20 years in prison. What do you think about that my friend.
Crime is down because they’ve stopped enforcing law in Surrey
Is that actually true? Do you have links to support?
Because if you don’t report the crime it’s not happening🤡
@barrywhite17 anybody that called to report incidents knows it true!
crime is down? lol
Condolences to the family.
Time to start setting an example out of these murderers.
My condolences to the family and friends 🙏😢😢😢😢
A couple of weeks ago a teen was stabbed by a random mentally ill person here in Toronto. He was just standing around at a subway station. Canada is going downhill.
Stay vigilant. A stranger is always to be considered guilty before considered innocent.
My condolences to the kid.. I hope they catch the guy that did this.
Poor child. This is just awful. My sincerest condolences to his family.
Then how about u vote for the party that cares about law and order?
Citizens should be allowed to defend themselves not only with their hands, but with pepper spary, tasers, etc
@tartrazine5hell yeah
Even in the most pro gun places this kid wouldn’t be allowed a gun to defend himself. We need to ban all guns and stop new guns from coming into the border that will be more effective.
@Dark Bright can’t do that it’s impractical
@Dark Bright Ya, that should stop the stabbings. Maybe we should ban all knives and other sharp objects, too.
Yes
So 😢 sad.Condolences to his family and schoolmates!
Condolences to his family and friends. Since the young offenders act was implemented years ago has caused more violence on the public. Stiffer sentences need to be handed down to show them that the public are not going to take it anymore.
How tragic! Condolences to the family! 🙁
“This level of violence is concerning”? “Concerning”? How about “outrageous”?, “savage”?, “unforgivable”?, “intolerable”? … there are many appropriate ways to react, but the cool and detached “concerning” is not one of them! If this is the strongest approbation our public officials can reach for, we have truly become jaded!
Condolences to the family 😢! We can all thank Trudeau for this increase of crime
I hope they actually keep their word and put Police on public transit, unlike here in Toronto recently where we were promised the same thing and got about a month of police presence and then they said sorry guys to expensive have fun on your own.
My heart breaks for his parents and family 😔🙏
