Canada’s Crime Problem Is Getting Harder to Ignore

Threats against leaders, violence on public transit, shootings and sophisticated scams are raising serious questions about public safety.

From a viral GO Train incident to a deadly Toronto shooting, Jim Lang and Paul Micucci examine what is happening and what needs to change.

In this episode, we break down:

• The Calgary man charged after allegedly threatening Canada’s prime minister online
• The viral GO Train confrontation involving teenagers, an elderly couple and a Good Samaritan
• Why safety concerns on public transit could affect commuters, businesses and the economy
• The fatal daylight shooting of a 17-year-old student near Jane and Finch
• Illegal guns, youth crime and the debate over consequences for serious offences
• An alleged fake auto insurance scam that could leave unsuspecting drivers financially exposed
• A highly coordinated fraud scheme targeting homeowners in Toronto’s Rosedale neighbourhood
• Why seniors and previous fraud victims are increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated scams
• Practical ways Canadians can verify contractors, insurance policies and people claiming to be investigators
