Cop: "Again these are targeted instances.." Yes targeting any person in the GTA with a nice car/house. This police strategy of downplaying issues by saying they were targeted is wreckless and needs to stop. Targeted means they specifically went after an individual for personal reasons. These criminals are treating our province like a loot bag and are opportunistic in thier attacks. What are we doing to make this stop? These people should be sent out of the country first offence.
They dont make it like a vacation i dont know why you idiots be saying that...there is more crime in canada because there is more people its that simple..there has always been crime in canada
@@captaincanada5139you get arrested if you use pepperspray. Theres no right to self defense. There is a right to "mano a mano fisticuffs" with a bodybuilder home invader.
@@terminsane Self-defense under the law provides people with the legal justification to protect themselves if attacked, or if under the threat of attack - that is, it allows people to legally commit violent acts that would otherwise be illegal. In some situations, this right extends to protecting property.
@@Eusantdac you can do whatever you like really, it's whatever you're ready for. I'm not "waiting for help" if 3 violent teen agers enter my home with a hammer...there would be 3 dead children and a media firestorm
Agreed. Home defense laws are pathetic and need to be changed. You literally have to flee, call 911 and hope for the best. If you fight back to defend you and your loved ones, it's you who'll most likely get in trouble with the law. That's insane imo.
@@SuperStrik9 that's against your human rights. The govt dosnt get to decide when my life is in danger....3 people break into my house with a hammer meets MY threshold of personal safety
@MoreYouKnow-d8h That's the problem. You CAN'T defend yourself,or you will be the one sitting in a jail cell while the "NEW CANADIAN'S" get a pat on the back and personally rewarded by Justin Trudeau to go and do it all over again.
@1ABNDT Yeah, it’s complete crap. There have been instances where people have shot and killed intruders only to end up in jail fighting court cases and although they typically win they spend a lot of money defending themselves. Then they have a hard time getting their firearms back from the government. Something needs to change. We need castle laws enshrined in our charter and carry laws implemented nation wide.
@@JohnDoe-ef6wu And there have been many many more incidents of your teenager using that gun to commit suicide and you are about 97% more likely to kill an innocent person than an intruder! You never hear much about the guy that accidentally shoots their own kid sneaking back into the house in the states although that happens much more frequently. Instead you get the gun lovers whining about needing to protect THEMSELVES and caring NOTHING about the children killed in 36 school shootings so far this year. Whereas in countries with good gun control, we go twenty or thirty years without such an incident. Maybe look at the REAL facts of a situation before concluding you are being oppressed by having good laws.
@@judyives1832you want some facts? Toronto is on pace to have the highest number of shootings/deaths in the last 5 years? How is that possible if hand g*ns were banned?! The police have already confirmed that 99% of these crimes are committed with firearms smuggled from the USA… punishing law abiding Canadians will do and has done nothing but make the problem worse… you can’t compare us to the USA as we have a far different g*n culture and licensing process… when seconds count police are only minutes away…. I know two people personally. One stabbed to death in front of his wife and children. The other robbed at g*n point in his own home…. This will only end when criminal know they’ll face consequences… either in the courts or by the hand of the home owner… unfortunately our current gov isn’t allowing either and have only made the problem worse with bail reform/soft on crime…
The government needs to do something to protect the country. The people in this country are not like before, please review the laws and update accordingly with serious punishment.
It is random. the criminals see a car they like and then they go to the person's house to steal it. it is NOT a " Targeted Incident ". Just do your jobs. And stop downplaying the severity of the circumstances.
Not quite random. These guys are just thugs working for a much larger organization. They will be told what kinds of cars to go after and when they find one they steal it.
Justin won't. He rewards bad behavior. Then he lie's to your face and says "Oh, it's just a small percentage of New Canadians causing problems". Nothing to see here. Get used to it, it's only going to get WORSE.
Funny story Pierre as it turns out is good friends with the people who run tennet the uber far right media company that just got caught for being Russian assets
@@parkerbohnn Crime rates remain relatively low by historical standards, and several kinds of crime have declined greatly - something that gets almost no coverage. Overall crime rates in Canada are still lower than they have been in nearly 50 years, and about 40% lower than they were at the peak in about 1990
Crime rates don’t tell the whole story though. The absolute number of crimes need to be taken into account. A lower crime rate can just mean you’re less likely to be a victim of a random attack. More neighbourhoods where most are just your average working family bring the crime rate down by doing nothing.
Why does police say targent and not a concern for public. Where is the proof this was targeted? How does the rest of the neighbourhood prevent themselves from being targeted? And public announcement like this is no different from just saying "yeah, yeah, don't worry".
Every Canadian has the right to defend themselves, to safeguard their person and their property from threats. However, with how self-defense is written into law in Canada, this right is upheld solely when the defensive actions taken are reasonable and proportional to the circumstances.
Good idea. Let's take away their RRSP too..because I'm sure the 15 year olds doing this have a license. I'd bet they have never and will never go to the doctor's office either.
Canadian Penal code needs to be overhauled extensively and amended with castle law and CCW, not to mention repeal C21 to allow the citizen to have a more defensive position and the total revamp of justice in it’s softened position againdt criminals and repeat offenders.
Interviewer: “Are you confident we can keep the public safe and prevent this from happening again?” The answer here should be no, the criminals know the occupants are defenceless and the consequences are light. So where’s the deterrent?
The Liberals don't want people to have guns. Then there is no way a totally PO'ed public can rise up again a tyrannical government hell bent on total government control over every aspect of your life.

@@captaincanada5139no they do not. They have a right to engage in "honorable fisticuffs" with their attacker, but they're not allowed to end the situation with the least risk to themselves. They must honor their attacker's comfort level, and go no further than the attacker desires. You may not use the quickest method of defense, because the attacker might not wish to engage at that level.
@@terminsane The Legal Framework Of Self-Defence In Canada Self-defence is referred to under Section 34 of the Criminal Code which states plainly a person is permitted to carry out reasonable action to protect themselves and/or others without being guilty of a criminal offence. In order to establish self-defence, you must raise an air of reality that the following is true: A force or threat of force was being used against them or another person. You acted for the purposes of defending yourself or others from that force or threat of force. Your act was reasonable in the circumstances.
@@captaincanada5139 I am aware of that right but "reasonable use of force" is very subjective. With society's current ideological shift to the left where the criminals are seen as victims I am not confident I could defend myself without being charged myself. How does one assess reasonable uses of force when a gang is breaking the door down with a hammer. Do we give up our right to defend our property and leave the keys at the door as one police chief suggested? Someone defending their family could easily be charged because he was deemed to use too much force, he/she would then become the accused and the perpetrator(s) the victims. If the state cannot provide protection then we need the ability to defend ourselves without limits or fear of repercussions. These predators know they will not suffer any consequences and this is why they are so bold. I will leave you with Steve Paikin's opening monologue from tonight's Agenda: "The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area is seeing a surge in violent crimes. Homicides, shootings, and carjackings are all on the rise. This past Labour Day weekend, three people were killed in Ontario's capital city, including a 15-year-old boy." I think we have had enough with Liberal idology ruining this country.
Criminals don't respect or fear the law. What they will respect are Castle laws. Give homeowners and citizens the right to use leathal force self-defense, and watch crime drop instantly!

@@captaincanada5139no, because what they claim is "reasonable" is actually "absurd". I should not be required to risk my life to ensure the safety of the person attacking me. They forfeited that when they chose to jeapordize my life. I did not consent to that game of roulette. I dont want to be fair and risk my health
@@captaincanada5139 but i have to defend "honorably" and only go as far as the attacker is comfortable with. If I put an end to the situation asap with as little risk to myself as possible, I'm now guilty, and not the person forcing me to risk my life.
Elm Street in Stouffville has had dozen of cars, pickup trucks and SUV's stolen in the past couple of years. My brother got his house broken into and he lives next-door to a policeman. I have two other brothers and a sister.
The Cop fails to advise what the “Target” is. The “Target” is anyone with an expensive vehicle in the driveway. If you have an expensive vehicle, YOU are the TARGET
The only solution is to loosen the laws specifically pertaining to defending against a home intrusion. That accompanied by no bail until the case is finalized. Stiffer penalties would prevent the perpetrators from being released, only to go back and aid their syndicate.
My brother teaches school just south west of there at Pierre Elliot Trudeau high school. He's the oldest teacher and he says its his last year. I live about a mile away and he lives about a mile and a half away.
Government need to install MORE cameras in the community, streets , strict laws to punish the criminals. Canada's merciful human rights had been abused!
Unfortunately we have enough Big Brother. We need more rights for self defense and a strong punishment system. Our laws and system are a joke. Average citizens shouldn't have to live in a surveillance state.
Time people started to fight back when your home is invaded. Time police said that no charges will be laid against anyone who fights back even if the intruder is killed! The status quo will not stop these invasions.
Markham is a target, they see the east asians as soft and rich. Please enact new self defence laws and reward the freedom and self preservation to lawful gun owners
Just like it was mandatory to have your plates renewed every 1 or 2 years, make it compulsory to have a receipt to show that your car is equipped with a 'kill switch' or some type of security APPROVED by the police. But hey, if crime goes down, cops can't ask for a bigger budget next year and hire more cops. It's a profession where crime pays...both cops and criminals.
Wouldn't happen if people had training and the ability to defend themselves like Florida or Texas. We as Canadians deserve the right to defend ourselves when in mortal danger. It should be in our Charter.
