So they caught a gun trafficker

You got to look at the big picture - the definite trend is that things are getting worse with regard to crime, morals, - cheating, stealing, killing and just about everything - what will drastically change this trend - I don't see anything coming along - just as you would look at trends when you evaluate a stock on the stock market - you look at trends to guess what the future will be like - all the bad stuff will continue to grow until you are faced with it up in Canada -

That is where you are wrong, the numbers prove that you are wrong, serious crimes are not going up.

Not in NB, My Dad knew several Cops and yes it all Changed sometime around 1990.

That is because your news came from the maritimes.

The fact is that gun crime is significantly lower than it was in the 70s, the problem is that if there is one gun crime anywhere in the country we see it 18000 times and hear about it about as many.

After many years with law enforcement in Ontario,as a general rule of thumb,we saw that what was happening in the US always migrated north,but,it usually took about 10 years. That hasn't changed,in fact,it appears to be accelerating at an alarming rate to about half that. The gang banger/gun issue we're seeing in Canada's large cities has been occurring for the last 5 years in American big cities. Chicago and Baltimore comes to mind.

Right on Trimmer - right on - that's exactly what is happening

Seems to coincide with the relaxation of the immigration laws.

.........and liberalization of the justice system to be more "politically correct".

We have had so called gang banger activity in Toronto since about 1988, after our first crack house WAS RAIDED IN MY OLD DIVISION by 5 district drug's squad. It was never allowed to get out of control because we did not abandon or surrender whole public housing project's to the bad guy's, BUT IN THE USA they had no problem doing that decades ago and making no go area's. Of course we did not know at the time that Ronald Regan was actually facilitating the flow of cocaine into places like Compton, while the CIA was using the profit's to fund illegal wars.

So Joe Pa we are no where near like America which is a country in decay because of internal corruption. Your America is a war mongering country and like Rome will keep declining caused by your greed Worldwide.

They tried 3 strikes and your out in the USA for decades and it was a costly colossal failure with the largest prison population in the World.

American and Canada is composed of immigrant's unless your aboriginal. They all committed crime, there were plenty of Irish gangsters in Toronto and Boston and New York. There is an ebb and flow through history Italian gangsters, Russian gangsters,
Triad's...
