Public Safety

Ferreri’s remarks in part focused on justice and public safety. She condemned current bail laws, saying the changes brought in under Bill C-75 in 2019 allowed overly lenient bail conditions and a society in which criminals are not sufficiently punished. Other recent laws and policies in Canada also amount to “tolerating” undesired behaviour in society, she said.

“I don’t care where you sit on the political spectrum. What I care about is that you understand that this law impacts your life and your family’s safety,” she said, adding that there are “obscene things happening in our country.”

Ferreri cited a recent visit to the federal medium-security Drumheller Institution in Alberta, where she was shown an area where inmates are allowed to use drugs. She was told it is necessary for their wellbeing.

“This is insane. … Ideology shapes policy,” Ferreri said, urging respectful but firm opposition from Canadians. “If we don’t push back, nothing changes. But how we push back is everything.”

Ferreri was among a number of speakers at the three-day conference, being held Sept. 18 to 21 at the BMO Centre in Calgary’s Stampede Park.
