Vancouver, BC – Today, Marie Rogers, Conservative Party Candidate for Vancouver-Granville, issued the following statement:

“The attack on frontline Vancouver Police officers was horrific. I am glad that the two officers involved were not seriously hurt.

“The criminal who attacked these officers was out on bail and had 10 outstanding charges against him.

“Mark Carney and his failed Liberal hug-a-thug team are not going to stop the crime after the lost Liberal decade of unleashing a wave of crime and chaos with their soft-on-crime, catch and release policies.

“Only a new Conservative Government will stop the crime. We will pass a three strikes and you’re out law to keep repeat and violent criminals behind bars. We will put the worst of the worst—drug, human and gun traffickers—behind bars for life. And we will always support our front-line police officers and give them the tools to do their job and stay safe.”
