Gun Crime Rises in Canada

Gun crime, we are told, proves that we must give up self-defense for the sake of our personal safety. Yet people are decreasingly safe up in Canada, where the progressive ruling class doesn’t have the Second Amendment in its way:

Canada’s national homicide rate last year was the highest it’s been in a decade, Statistics Canada says, because of a spike in gang-related violence and shootings. …

Not only was that an increase of nearly eight per cent from 2016, it also pushed up the homicide rate to 1.8 victims for every 100,000 people — the highest since 2009.

The rate is climbing especially high on the Left Coast:

“With 2.45 homicides per 100,000 population, the homicide rate in British Columbia was up 32 per cent, making it the province’s highest rate since 2009,” the agency said.

This has far more to do with immigration policy than it does with gun control.

Looks like someone was lying yet again, as he attempted to exploit a mass shooting for authoritarian political gain:

BHO is invited to tell that to the victims of mass shooter Faisal Hussain in Toronto.
