Episode Details

Ottawa’s stabbing numbers are down this year—but experts warn it might just be luck, not progress. While 96 stabbings have been reported so far (down from 124 last year and 153 the year before), the national trend shows a decade-long rise in fatal stabbings across Canada. With nearly all of Ottawa’s homicides this year involving stabbings, the real solution lies in tackling root causes—like education and employment—not just policing. Cities like Toronto and the UK show what works: proactive intervention over reactive enforcement. Ottawa has some efforts underway, but more is urgently needed to break the cycle of violence.
