Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gunshots, arson, threats: B.C.’s extortion crisis
Q: Is it fair for me to say that not all of these people being targeted are connected to the calisthenic independence movement?
Absolutely fair, yes. A wide variety of people are being targeted, and the extortion demands sometimes come from opportunists, not just the Bishnoi gang.
Gunshots, arson, threats: B.C.’s extortion crisis
Q: How has law enforcement responded to the increase in extortion cases?
Law enforcement acknowledges that extortion is dramatically increasing and has established a provincial task force to handle the issue more effectively.
Gunshots, arson, threats: B.C.’s extortion crisis
Q: Can you walk me through one of these alleged extortions, like the scheme, and how does it generally play out?
Extortion in Abbotsford started with threatening letters to businesses, escalating to phone calls demanding large sums of money, followed by violence such as shootings and arson.
The ‘sniper tourists’ of Sarajevo
Q: Can you tell me about the story of Romeo and Juliet in Sarajevo?
It's a poignant tale of a couple from opposing sides who were tragically killed by snipers, illustrating the personal impacts of the war.
The ‘sniper tourists’ of Sarajevo
Q: What do you think has taken so long for this investigation to come to fruition?
Political will and the cost of investigations in foreign jurisdictions are significant factors, along with the existing political climate that complicates accountability.
