Violent crime at the highest rate in 30 years - all on the uprise in the last 8 years - since we had a Liberal government. Funny how virtue signalling that you are getting hard on guns is only aimed at law-abiding gun owners and the criminals run amock. This hurts all the population - hope it isn;t your family that is affected.

The uptick in violent crime in 2022 was primarily driven by the rise in homicides as well as an increase in armed robbery (15 per cent) and extortion (39 per cent).
The data, released Thursday, show crimes involving the use of firearms in a threatening or violent manner in 2022 were up for the eighth consecutive year, four-per-cent higher than 2021, and are 60 per cent higher than they were 2013. Firearms crimes related to possession, storage and handling were stable last year, the statistics agency said, after several prior years of increases.
