From Global News.

British Columbia’s attorney general is calling on the Canadian federal government to regulate and restrict the sale of machetes as a response to street crime.

Niki Sharma has penned a letter to Ottawa, asking her federal counterpart to consider classifying machetes as restricted weapons, as the UK does, which would allow police to seize and destroy them.

The move follows a number of recent machete attacks on people and animals.

Global’s Angela Jung reports.
