Nine Dead After SUV Plows Into Vancouver Festival Crowd, Raising Election-Eve Concerns Over Public Safety

Sam Cooper
In Vancouver, concern about public safety ā particularly assaults and violent incidents involving suspects previously known to police ā has been a longstanding civic and political flashpoint
In an evolving mass-death investigation that could have profound psychological and emotional impacts on Canadaās federal election, Vancouver police confirmed Sunday that nine people were killed Saturday night when a young man plowed a luxury SUV through a festival block party in South Vancouver, leaving a trail of instant deaths and horrific injuries, with witnesses describing convulsing bodies and wounded toddlers in the aftermath.
The driver, a 30-year-old Vancouver resident known to police, appeared to be shaken and apologetic, according to eyewitness accounts and video from the scene. Authorities stated the case is not being treated as terrorism.
Late Saturday night, Vancouver police confirmed at a news conference that the man, who was known to police āin certain circumstances,ā had been arrested.
The incident occurred around 8:14 p.m. during the annual Lapu Lapu Festival, a celebration of Filipino Canadian culture held near East 41st Avenue and Fraser Street. Thousands of attendees had packed the area for cultural performances, food stalls, and community events when the luxury SUV entered the closed-off area and accelerated into the crowd. Photos of the vehicle, with its doors ajar and a crumpled front end, indicate it was an Audi Q7 with black tinted windows.
In Vancouver, concern about public safety ā particularly assaults and violent incidents involving suspects previously known to police ā has been a longstanding civic and political flashpoint. Saturdayās tragedy sharpened those anxieties, potentially influencing the attitudes of undecided voters in a federal election that has focused on social disorder and crime framed by the Conservative side, with the Liberal frontrunners countering that firmer sentencing laws would undermine Canadaās Charter of Rights.
Witnesses to Saturdayās tragedy described scenes of chaos and terror as the SUV slammed into festival-goers, accelerating through the crowd.
āI thought it was fireworks at first ā the sounds, the screams ā then I saw people flying,ā one witness told reporters on the scene.
Authorities have launched a full criminal investigation into the suspectās background, including previous interactions with law enforcement.
The tragedy unfolded during the final, high-stakes weekend of Canada’s federal election campaign, throwing public safety and political leadership into sharp relief.
On Saturday night, before news of the Vancouver incident broke, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre posted a message on X at about 10 p.m., declaring, “This election comes down to one word. Change. Our Conservative plan will bring home an affordable life and safe streets ā For a Change.”
Meanwhile, Liberal leader Mark Carney, campaigning in the Greater Toronto Area, posted at roughly the same time, “Dropped in on dim sum today in Markham. The best part of this campaign has been meeting Canadians in their communities ā and hearing how excited they are about our future.”
As the scale of the tragedy became clear, both leaders shifted sharply in tone.
Poilievre posted again around 1 a.m. Sunday, writing, “I am shocked by the horrific news emerging from Vancouver’s Lapu Lapu Day Festival tonight. My thoughts are with the Filipino community and all the victims targeted by this senseless attack. Thank you to the first responders who are at the scene as we wait to hear more.”
Carney, who had posted shortly before midnight that, “We don’t need anger. We need to build,” followed with a direct statement on the Vancouver attack around 2 a.m. Sunday morning, writing, “I am devastated to hear about the horrific events at the Lapu Lapu festival in Vancouver earlier this evening. I offer my deepest condolences to the loved ones of those killed and injured, to the Filipino Canadian community, and to everyone in Vancouver. We are all mourning with you.”
Online, the tragedy quickly reignited concerns about violent crime, bail, and the rights of offenders ā issues that have increasingly polarized Canadian political debate.
In response to Carneyās statement, a comment from an account named Willy Balters reflected the growing anger: “Heāll be out on bail by morning right?”
Another commenter, referencing past political controversies over judicial reform, posted to Carney, “You stood behind a podium and declared murderers’ Charter Rights canāt be violated.”
The raw public sentiment mirrored broader criticisms that Canada’s criminal justice system ā and its perceived leniency toward repeat offenders ā has failed to keep Canadians safe.
Just days prior, a different incident tapped into similar public anger. B.C. Conservative MLA Elenore Sturko posted, “A visitor to Vancouver was brutally attacked by a man only hours after he was released on bail for assaulting police and uttering threats. @Dave_Eby ā is this the kind of welcome visitors to FIFA will have to look forward to? BTW, this violent man is out on bail AGAIN!”
That incident continued to draw heated social media on Sunday, with David Jacobs, a well-known conservative-leaning commenter, posting, “A man, while out on bail for assaulting a peace officer, violently assaulted a woman. He’s out on bail again. The Liberals put criminal rights far ahead of victim rights and community safety. Stop the insanity. Vote for change!”

Police Associations Endorse Conservatives. Poilievre Will Shut Down Tent Cities

From Conservative Party Communications
Under the Lost Liberal decade, homelessness has surgedĀ by 20% since 2018Ā and chronic homelessness hasĀ spiked 38%. In cities likeĀ Nanaimo,Ā VictoriaĀ andĀ London, the number of people living in tents and makeshift shelters has exploded. In Toronto alone, there were 82 encampments in early 2023ānowĀ there are over 200, with an estimatedĀ 1,400 in Ontario.
Yesterday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre received the endorsement of the Toronto Police Association,Ā the largest single association of its kind in Canada, representing approximately 8,000 civilian and uniformed members.
This follows the endorsement by the police associations of Durham, Peel, Barrie, and Sault Ste. Marie of the Conservative plan to stop the crime and keep Canadians safe, after the Liberal governmentās easy bail and soft-on-crime policies unleashed a wave of violent crime.
āThese men and women put their lives on the line every day to keep our streets safe,ā Poilievre said. āOur Conservative team is honoured to have their support and will back them up with laws to help them protect all Canadians.ā
Poilievre also announced that a new Conservative government will ensure that police have the legal power to remove dangerous encampments to end the homelessness and the mental health and addiction crisis that has trapped thousands in dangerous tent cities and make life unsafe for law-abiding Canadians who live near them.
“Parks where children played are now littered with needles. Small businesses are boarded up and whole blocks of storefronts are shuttered because their owners can’t afford to deal with constant break-ins and vandalism,” Pierre Poilievre said. “Public spaces belong to everyone, but law-abiding citizens, especially families and seniors, are being pushed out to accommodate chaos and violence.”
Canadian cities have a mixed record of dealing with encampments in public places, with some not acting because they donāt believe they have the legal authority to remove the camps. Conservatives will work with provinces and ensure law enforcement has the clear legal tools they need to remove encampments and give Canadians back the safe streets and public spaces they deserve.
A Poilievre-led government will do this by reversing the Liberalsā radical pro-drug policies and by:
- Amending the Criminal CodeĀ to give police the tools to charge individuals when they endanger public safety or discourage the public from using, moving through, or otherwise accessing public spaces by setting up temporary structures, including tents.
- Clarifying in law that police can dismantle illegal encampmentsĀ and ensure individuals living in them who need help are connected with housing, addiction treatment, and mental health services.
- Giving judges the power to order peopleĀ charged for illegally occupying public spaces with a temporary structure and simple possession of illegal drugs to mandatory drug treatment.
- Returning to a housing first approach to homelessness, ensuring people get off the streets into a stable place to live with the support they need to rebuild their lives.
Under the Lost Liberal decade, homelessness has surgedĀ by 20% since 2018Ā and chronic homelessness hasĀ spiked 38%. In cities likeĀ Nanaimo,Ā VictoriaĀ andĀ London, the number of people living in tents and makeshift shelters has exploded. In Toronto alone, there were 82 encampments in early 2023ānowĀ there are over 200, with an estimatedĀ 1,400 in Ontario.
These encampments are a direct result of radical Liberal policies such as drug decriminalization and unsafe supply. They are extremely dangerous for the people trapped in them, who endure overdoses, assaults, including sexual assaults, human trafficking, and even homicide, as well as the community around them.
Under the Poilievre plan, tent cities will no longer be an optionābut recovery will be. Conservatives will give law enforcement the tools they need to help clean up our streets, deal with chronic offenders, and provide truly compassionate recovery and treatment where it is needed.
āInstead of getting people the help they need, the Liberals abandoned our communities to chaos,” Poilievre said. “Leaving people trapped by their addictions to live outdoors through Canadian winters, sick, malnourished, cold, wet and vulnerable is the furthest thing from compassionate.ā
A Conservative government will also overhaul the Liberalsā dangerous pro-drug policies that have led to over 50,000 overdose deaths over the Lost Liberal Decade. Instead of flooding our streets with taxpayer-funded hard drugs, we will invest in recovery to break the cycle of despair and offer real hope.
Conservatives will allow judges to sentence offenders to mandatory treatment for addiction, and we will fund 50,000 addiction treatment spaces, ensuring that those struggling with substance use get the support they need to recoverābecause real compassion means helping people get better, not enabling their suffering.
In addition to these measures, Poilievre has a plan to end the soft-on-crime approach of the Lost Liberal Decade, end the chaos, and restore order and safety across Canada:ā
- Three-Strikes-and-You’re-Out Law: Individuals convicted of three serious offences will face a minimum prison term of 10 years and up to a life sentence, with no eligibility for bail, probation, parole, or house arrest.
- Mandatory Life Sentences:Ā Life imprisonment for those convicted of five or more counts of human trafficking, importing or exporting ten or more illegal firearms, or trafficking fentanyl.
- Repeal of Bill C-75: Ending the Liberalsā catch-and-release policies to restore jail, not bail, for repeat violent offenders.
- New Offense for Intimate Partner Assault:Ā Creation of a specific offense for assault of an intimate partner, with the strictest bail conditions for those accused, and ensuring that murder of an intimate partner, one’s own child, or a partner’s child is treated as first-degree murder.
- Consecutive Sentences for Repeat Violent Offenders:Ā So there will no longer be sentencing discounts for multiple murderers.
Canadians canāt afford a fourth Liberal term of rising crime and chaos in our streets. We need a new Conservative government that will end the chaos, restore order on our streets and bring our loved ones home drug-free.
