Trickle down economics. Deregulation. Shifting public funds to the private sector. More police. These conservative policies have never worked and they won't work under Carney either.
Things that will reduce crime.

- Better mental health supports
- Decriminalization/Legalization of drug
- Addiction support and safe supply
