I'll read 9 articles showing data that the rate of ALL crimes per capita are going down, almost across the board, and then I'll see one opinion piece that claims "rates are going up and it's the non-conservative's fault".
That's like how 9/10 dentists say you should brush your teeth.
And the tenth dentist is a conspiracy quack who was hired on as an advisor for Danielle Smith.

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