TPL Media Crime Update: Crime On The Rise
Canada is facing a growing crime crisis. This week on the TPL Media Crime Update, hosts Mike Wixson and Bradie Whetham break down the biggest crime stories from across Canada and examine the troubling trends connecting them.
The episode begins with a discussion on the recent police killings in Toronto and Montreal, including the emerging details surrounding the Montreal attack and what investigators have revealed about the suspect's manifesto. Mike and Bradie explore the dangers of online radicalization, grievance-based violence, and why recognizing warning signs before violence occurs is becoming increasingly important.
The conversation then shifts to organized crime, with major contraband tobacco seizures in Winnipeg, Kingston, and Brandon revealing how illegal cigarettes, drug trafficking, weapons, and money laundering are all connected. The hosts examine why organized crime networks continue to expand and ask whether Canada should begin treating these criminal organizations as a national security threat.
This week's deep dive focuses on Canada's growing extortion epidemic, fentanyl trafficking, illegal firearms, vehicle theft, cybercrime, and the increasing violence targeting businesses and communities across the country. Mike and Bradie discuss policing, bail reform, criminal justice policy, and what governments can do to better protect frontline officers and Canadian communities.
The episode also covers a recent immigration fraud case involving false job offers in Saskatchewan, offering an important warning for anyone considering immigrating to Canada through employment opportunities.
If you care about public safety, policing, organized crime, and the future of crime prevention in Canada, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
