The only crime that’s going up is sexual assaults and that’s because people are finally reporting them. Overall based on your own source, we have the same total crime level in 2022 as in 2019. Every chart shows us in a massive downward trend since the 80’s. You’d have to zoom in pretty far to pretend crime is going up. Don’t start with that “police reported crime severity index” that number is just there to justify bloated police budgets.

Funny, this Stats Canada data shows rates going up, not down.
