Random stranger attacks have Canadians feeling unsafe, on edge
About this episode
You’ve seen the headlines: Teen fatally stabbed on Transit in B.C., a man seriously injured after being knifed while waiting for a bus in Edmonton, a woman dying after being set on fire in Toronto.
From coast to coast, Canada has seen an uptick in what police are calling unprovoked stranger attacks. They’re not just happening in big cities either.
National Post reporter Tristin Hopper joins the show to discuss what’s driving these sometimes deadly assaults, what it has meant to how safe Canadians feel, and what can be done to address the issue.
