They can't be more right. I grew up in the East part of Montreal and that's exactly the same problem. I can even pinpoint 3 or 4 specific streets where they can work with social workers and the police 24/7 to improve the life the these young kids and cut by half the crime in Montreal. First thing to adress is the role of these young men in our society not just their their communittee. Give them hope by promoting education, craftmanship, skills, passion or even fate. If not, they will gravitate by default around gang culture by the lack of inspiration. The pattern come from our US neighbour and were not the same on that level. Demographic disparity and segragation is something I feel the most when I visit cities in the US but here its different. We can improve life of everyone by giving a chance to the one who need more. And, yep guns smuggling add salt to the injuries. Please correct the bill by giving some slack to the legal gun owners and increase penality lot more for gun smuggling.

Yeah that's not happening. If an average person like you can point a problem out and offer a solution, you think the government hasn't thought of it already? They dont care.
