Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre sparred in the House of Commons on March 28 over rising rates of violent crime across Canada, with Poilievre blaming Liberal policies and Trudeau pointing the finger at Tory opposition to Liberal gun control measures.
Poilievre made reference to a recent fatal stabbing that happened in a downtown Vancouver Starbucks on March 26, for which the city’s police department has charged a 32-year-old man with murder.
