Canada’s Organized Crime Crisis: A Nation Run by Criminals for Criminals
Violent crime in Canada has increased 30 percent in the last decade of recorded incidents - The Hub
During a recent parliamentary meeting, the RCMP made a stunning admission: there are over 4,000 organized crime groups operating in Canada. According to a public safety report, the average organized crime group consists of 20 to 50 members. If we take the median estimate of 35 members per group, that means Canada has approximately 140,000 gangsters and mobsters operating within its borders. These are not petty criminals struggling to make ends meet, they are professionals.

This explosion of organized crime is staggering. In 2011, a National Security report estimated there were around 800 organized crime groups in Canada. Fast forward 14 years, and that number has ballooned by 400%. Even in just the last four years, organized crime has doubled, with a 2021 RCMP report estimating 2,000 groups, compared to today’s 4,000. Worse still, these groups are not just growing in number—they are deeply embedded in Canadian society. The RCMP has admitted that 73% of assessed organized crime groups are involved in violent activities, including assaults, extortion, shootings, and homicides. More than half have interprovincial and international connections across 77 countries. Many members of organized crime groups are involved in the public sector, leveraging family connections, romantic relationships, and monetary gain to further corruption within government institutions.

Canada has become a nation run by criminals, for criminals. Our own government openly admits that organized crime has infiltrated the public sector, yet continues to implement policies that enable criminal enterprises to thrive. Consider the actions of the Trudeau government: soft-on-crime laws, including the rollback of mandatory minimum sentences for violent offenders; “safe supply” policies, where taxpayers fund the distribution of narcotics that often end up on the black market; mass migration with minimal fraud prevention measures, allowing international criminals to exploit Canada’s weak enforcement mechanisms; the RCMP disbanding its financial crimes unit, even as Canada is recognized as a global money laundering hub; Liberal cabinet ministers sharing addresses with known international drug smugglers, raising serious concerns about corruption at the highest levels; Cameron Ortis, a former senior RCMP intelligence official, being found guilty of leaking state secrets to organized crime.

This isn’t a new problem, but it’s getting worse. In 2009, a former senior engineer at Quebec’s Transport Ministry claimed that the Mafia controlled 80% of government contracts. If that was the state of affairs 15 years ago, and crime has only skyrocketed since then, what does that say about Canada today? There is little distinction left between Canada’s government and its criminal underworld. At this point, the two are intertwined, operating in tandem to the detriment of ordinary Canadians. With Canada at a crossroads for leadership and a potential election looming, the stakes could not be higher. Any leader who does not place corruption and crime at the top of their agenda must be assumed to have a vested interest in seeing Canada remain a lawless playground for criminals
