TAKE CRIME DOWN!
This rise to the top of the issues poll in BC is a dramatic and significant change. It is clear crime is an election issue. This issue has to be treated as a national emergency and new and substantial emergency funding is required. A TEN FIGURE injection of funds by the province, equally split between: prevention, addictions and mental illness treatment AND police, prisons and prosecutors is required. And, it is needed now. Suggest it be considered a stimulus measure for 3 years then funded as a small fractional increase in PST, if necessary. Should be matched next budget by the feds.
