On October 25 Conversations Live with Stuart McNish will explore the issue of crime on the streets of cities across BC.
There is a sense that random violence and gangland shootings are increasingly common on our streets. Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna, and Langley have all witnessed high-profile incidents in recent days. Some, however, are arguing crime is on the decline. What perception is the reality? What role is mental health playing? Is the toxic drug epidemic a factor? The COVID pandemic, housing? It’s a complex issue, and one to which we must find solutions.
To get to the bottom of the critical issue and start talking solutions we have brought together a panel of people who have spent a career working in crime prevention – or with the businesses and individuals suffering the consequences. They are:
- Brian Sauvé, President of the National Police Federation
- Steve Rai, VPD Deputy Chief Constable
- Anita Huberman, CEO of the Surrey Board of Trade
- John Neate, founder of JJ Bean
- Doug LePard, Principal of Doug LePard Consulting and co-author of BC report on repeat offending

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
