Canada Global(Web News)Conservative leader Pierre Polivore has called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to end his policies of releasing criminals immediately after they are caught. Such policies have led to a significant increase in car theft incidents.
When people get up and look out their windows today, they’re not looking at the weather, they’re looking to see if their cars are still parked in their driveways, Polivor said. Toronto saw a 300 percent increase and Ottawa and Montreal 100 percent. .
In a press release last week, even Trudeau acknowledged that was not the case. Since the Liberal government took office in 2015, car thefts across Canada have increased by 34 per cent. New Brunswick saw a 120 percent increase in car thefts, while Ontario and Quebec saw increases of 122 percent and 59 percent, respectively. For the first time in 2022, the insurance industry was hit with a billion dollar burden due to car theft. Time
Polivor said the Trudeau government’s catch-and-release policies are behind it. Bill C-75 also provides for the release on bail of criminals who commit such thefts one hour after their arrest. Such criminals go back to the society and commit theft. Even the police cannot do anything to stop such professional car thieves. Even after being found guilty, the Trudeau government’s Bill C-5 provides for house arrest for such offenders. Despite the long list of crimes, there is a provision to detain such criminals. Organized crime thrives because of these kinds of thieves’ lairs.
