B.C. calls on Ottawa to restrict sale of machetes in bid to curb street crime
British Columbia’s attorney general is calling on the federal government to regulate and restrict the sale of machetes as a response to street crime.
Machete attacks in the Downtown Eastside and downtown Vancouver in 2022 and in 2020 also left multiple people injured, and earlier this year a Vancouver Island man said someone used a machete to slash his dog.
