Anti-extortion chief must demonstrate urgency in fight against blackmailers or step down, B.C. Premier says
January 21, 2026
British Columbia Premier David Eby has warned the head of a police anti-extortion task force to step aside if he cannot demonstrate “a sense of urgency” in the fight against blackmailers who have been shooting up homes and businesses in the Lower Mainland.
Eby’s remarks about RCMP Assistant Commissioner John Brewer came a day after Brewer repeatedly declined to characterize the wave of extortion-related shootings as a crisis.
