There are a few solutions to this problem that would work if our politicians and judges would do their jobs.

One is stiffer prison sentences for gang-related violence including truth-in-sentencing laws ie. a 10 year prison sentence means you spend 10 years locked in prison. This will never happen as it is not politically correct to hold a person responsible for his crimes.

Two is legalize drugs, sell them in government liquor stores, take the profit and apply it toward our health care system. This will never happen because it would make the government look bad, even though it is the right thing to do.

Three is use civil litigation and income tax enforcement to aggressively go after all of the assets and income of organized criminals.

Four is fix our immigration system to mandate balanced and proportional immigration from various countries of the world. Ie. 5% of our immigrants come from China, 5% from Japan, 5% from India, 5% from the Netherlands, 5% from Austria etc. etc. etc. The politically incorrect truth is that gang violence is concentrated among four particular ethnic groups: East Indians in the Vancouver area, Vietnamese in Vancouver and Calgary, Jamaicans in Toronto, and white trash biker types across Canada. When we have 10 million people coming here from one single country they remain isolated in their own little communities, don't integrate, and are more likely to fall into the gang culture. In order to better assimilate immigrants into the Canadian culture we need to limit the number of people coming from any one country. As politically incorrect as this sounds, it is true.
