A recent attack at an Alberta law firm has left staff shaken and renewed calls for the federal government to revisit its approach to crime and bail reform. It comes amid increased anxiety about public safety and ongoing concerns from various policing advocates and premiers regarding how bail is granted for those accused of crimes.

On May 1, Cold Lake RCMP responded to a call about a masked man breaking windows at a business, Cpl. Mathew Howell, an Alberta RCMP public information officer, said in a statement provided to The Epoch Times. The man is also accused of throwing stones at a security guard who approached him before getting into a taxi to flee the scene.
