More Montrealers using private security in their neighbourhoods. Plus: Canada’s border guards are looking for missing criminals.

from The Big Five Podcast · host CJAD 800

Elias Makos welcomes back Akil Alleyne, Reporter and commentator with extensive experience analysing legal, political, and social issues and Manager of the GemStar Circle of Excellence Scholarship Program, and Anne Lagace-Dowson, political analyst. Faced with what they say is a growing sense of insecurity, wealthy neighbourhoods around the city are pooling their resources to hire security guards for their protection. Canadian border agents are searching for nearly 600 foreign nationals with criminal records who were set to be deported — but have vanished. A 140-year-old downtown building went up in flames yesterday - and the owner of the building is furious with the city of Montreal.
