>The mayor of Surrey, B.C., is urging Ottawa to “take immediate action and implement a full-scale national initiative” against extortion violence in Canada amid a rash of shootings linked to attempted blackmail in her city.
>Brenda Locke says in a statement that her city has seen 34 cases of reported extortion in the last three weeks, and residents are in “constant fear.”
>Locke says in a letter to federal Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree that Ottawa should appoint a “national extortion commissioner” to create a co-ordinated, countrywide approach to such crimes.
>Locke says police are “working hard” on the cases, but a more co-ordinated national front against extortion violence is needed, and a commissioner would address that issue.
>“This role should have the authority to examine the obvious gaps in our criminal, immigration, and citizenship systems and lead a national response that actually stops these crimes from happening,” she says, adding that she thinks current laws are “too weak.”
>“This is unlike anything Surrey has faced before,” Locke says.
>Data released by the task force on Wednesday showed that seven people had been charged, while nine people had been removed from Canada from among 111 investigations into the admissibility of foreign nationals.
We need to confiscate more hunting rifles immediately.
BC cops can’t solve their extortion problem so it’s is a National issue that Ottawa needs to solve?
Ottawa: „We already confiscating and threaten 2.3 million law abiding citizens with jail time for our buyback program, what could you possible want us to do anything else?“
BC: „Fight the actual criminals with us“
Ottawa (Looking at provided script): „Well, we always put public safety as top priority that’s why we are buying back all the legal guns…“
This mayor is a major failure. The city of Surrey already has 2 police forces.
Thanks Trudeau
These are the guns and criminals that the feds **should** be targeting. But nope, gotta waste hundreds of millions to try to confiscate a bunch of „scary-looking“ .22s (of which have many legal alternatives that are functionally the same) from legal gun owners.
Im sorry. But ottawa simply has no time for that. They are focusing all of their energy on confiscating law-abiding people’s legally purchased property. The very same program of which is not open to people who have guns illegally and / or criminals. So, actual public safety is not a real concern to them.
I think mayor needs to be patient, the gun confiscation program only started on Monday, if we let chipmunk Gary just finish collecting 22lr plinkers from vetted law abiding citizens, the extortion shootings will stop! Just you wait.
If that doesn’t work, it’s because we haven’t banned the SKS yet, then for sure it’ll stop.
Have no fear, BC police are investigating the extortion victim who returned fire when his home was fired upon in case he did so *recklessly*
We’re not the wild West after all.
Didn’t a police chief in BC just say these shootings are not a crisis? Why would the feds give a damn if it’s not a crisis? Clearly the crisis is hunters and target shooters, hence using OIC’s instead of parliamentary process to ban their property.
Sounds like a „Surrey“ kind of problem, not really an overall Canada problem.
This is rich coming from a mayor in BC. Guess you have been asleep at the wheel for the last decade in what you have been doing and voting for provincially and federally. That or spent to much time on shooting up from their safe drug supply and wandering on playgrounds. Sorry BC actions have consequences now live with yours. Like learning to live in your new world of constant fear and issues this is 100% on your voters, provincial and federal support. This is exactly what need to happen en mass and ramp up to teach people why not to support virtue singling and stupid policy.
It’s almost like mass un-checked immigration with zero screening was a terrible fucking idea, thanks Trudeau!
A prominent and well renowned radio host in Surrey has suggested bringing national guard to maintain safety. Its not a bad idea.
They won’t do it though. Its only a crisis in Canada when white or indigenous people are harmed. Brown people don’t really matter to them except on voting day for their token MP back benchers.
