British Columbia Premier David Eby has labeled a surge in extortion crimes as a "terror attack in slow motion," citing their severe psychological, economic, and social impact on communities, particularly in urban areas.
He emphasized that organized crime groups are increasingly using threats and coercion to target businesses and individuals, calling for stronger cooperation between law enforcement, federal agencies, and communities.
Eby noted existing resources and legal tools are inadequate and said the province is exploring new legislation and increased funding for specialized units to combat the growing threat, urging residents to report suspicious activity.
