Is crime rising? Yes, about 5% if you look at the past two years (2021 and 2022), but there is the pandemic effect as well so it's dangerous to assume it's a long-term trend.
Here is the actual long-term trend from StatCan. You can see that property crime is down about 60% over the past 30 years, with a bit of an uptick before the pandemic. Violent crime is down about 15% over the same time period.
