I’m not a Conservative and think that the conservative obsession with crime is overblown and borders on hysterical but it’s incorrect to say that Canadians are as safe as they were 10 years ago. Violent crime has been on the rise every year since 2014 after a sustained period of reduction. We’re now at roughly the same crime rate we were in 2002.

Feelings are fine. But facts are facts.

Having to create a user account to see the stats can source seemed wrong:

There is 35% of that increase in violent crime that is due to extortion. That's not the kind of crime you would see "in the streets"
