This incident, which occurred the summer of 2022, is bizarre for Canadians and impossible for Americans to understand that this level of violence can occur in their tranquil province.
This article details the results of months of investigations into the behavior of the shooters.
"Brothers aimed to kill police, didn’t expect to survive Saanich bank shootout."
My first thought is who indoctrinated them into their hate? "The investigation concurred the suspects held antigovernmental, anti-police and anti-authority views."
I hadn't seen the article Jackson. Thanks. I think your question is one for sociologists as I doubt Canadian LEOs can compare. I suspect they can tell you that they are experiencing an uptake in violent crime particularly with firearms.
