No news to see here. The Ministry of Truth does this all the time. Too bad the left keeps using Orwell as a "how to" manual.

Kinda cool. Bring crime down by the simple bureaucratic trick of not reporting crime at all. Not recognized by the government = doesn't exist.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if this was true but Breitbart is not a remotely credible source.

The police have been playing this game for years now.
No one hardly reports break ins because the police will not respond.
Other crimes have been just eliminated by race or gender.
Caledonia being the forerunner of this type of fudging numbers.
I remember 1994 as the year police stopped making stealing bikes legal by no action.

Statistics will be whatever activists in any cause want them to be. Government propaganda is always the leader in any cause simply because they have the deepest pockets (yours and mine) and whole departments dedicated to the cause.

What ! You don't mean to tell me that the criminals didn't also turn in their guns when everyone else did, wow that's a shocking revelation.

Because Breitbart has proven to be not credible?
Just because you wish it and say it, does not make it true.
Breitbart is not credible the same way that Ezra is not credible..... as in they are completely credible, you just don't like what it that they are saying.

Was visiting friends in Hastings, U.K. last May for two days and just happened to catch the BBC local news for the area one evening (a small part of south England - and I do mean it was a local station). A shooting in the neighbouring village with a handgun. Two wounded, one dead.

I turned to my friend and said - "I thought the British had banned all handguns in the U.K.?"

His reply - "We did."

It seems that if you are a criminal in the U.K. there is little problem in obtaining modern, high capacity hand guns - and hand grenades! If you are a law-abiding citizen - not so much.

Have been saying this for years on SDA, the UK gun bans failed! Meanwhile violent crime per capita is higher in the UK than either Canada or the US.

The criminals have always had access to guns, gangs, and other weapons, while the law abiding citizen has been left unarmed and helpless.

"...Breitbart is not a remotely credible source."

Wrong yet again.

Now on the factual side, you are not a remotly credible opinion.

Canada does the very same thing by ongoing revisions to what used to be called the DBS reporting system.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
