Gun-related homicides in Canada have risen almost 90 percent over the past ten years, a trend authorities attribute to the influx of illegally sourced firearms from the United States. Data from the Toronto Police indicates that 88 percent of guns seized in crimes within the city last year were traced back to the US. This escalating situation has prompted calls from Canadian law enforcement and political leaders for strengthened border security measures to curb the flow of illegal weapons. The continuous supply of firearms across the border is identified as the primary driver of the increasing gun violence within Canada. FRANCE 24’s reporting, featuring contributions from Francois Rihouay, Joanne Profeta, and Fraser Jackson, highlights the severity of the issue and the growing concerns surrounding it. The issue underscores the challenges Canada faces in controlling gun violence independently, given the porous border and readily available firearms in the US.
