Toronto is at 40, looks like Toronto could end up with a record low since the early 80's.

That's a different way of looking at it but either way, it's a weird situation..... If you only compare Detroit to US cities, it nearly has the highest rate. If you only compare Windsor to Canadian cities, it has the lowest rate. So what are the odds that those two rates would be found in cities located 1 km apart? It's the same situation in Juarez/El Paso, it's just strange when you think about it. Quote:
People on SSP are more educated but the average Canadian still has inaccurate preconceived notions about Windsor just because of our neighbour. Any news like this helps. |

Man Shot in the Exchange District at 2am. This shooting ends a really impressive streak for any city in terms of length without a homicide. Winnipeg's last homicide was over a month ago. But unfortunately this brings us one closer to tying our record for homicides in a year. And with a man lying in critical condition after a shooting on Selkirk it isn't looking good.
Neighbourhood Perspective: North Central Winnipeg: North Point Douglas (Pop. 2 225) = 7 Centennial (Pop. 2 225) = 1 Total (Pop. 4 450) = 8 North End: Lord Selkirk Park (Pop. 1 365) = 3 William Whyte (Pop. 6 220) = 2 Dufferin (Pop. 2 090) = 1 St. Johns (Pop. 7 725) = 2 Total (Pop. 17 400) = 8 Downtown: Portage-Ellice (Pop 1 105) = 3 Central Park (Pop 3 555) = 2 Exchange Dist. (Pop 420) = 3 Total (Pop. 5080) = 8 South Winnipeg: River-Osbourne (Pop. 4 880) = 2 Fort Richmond (Pop. 11 610) = 1 Munroe East (Pop 8 460) = 1 Niakwa Place (Pop. 2 385) = 1 Total (Pop. 27 335) = 5 West End: Daniel Mcintyre (Pop. 9 750) = 2 St. Mathews (Pop. 5 575) = 1 Total (Pop. 15 325) = 3 North East Winnipeg: Beaumont (Pop. 2 360) = 1 Total (Pop. 2 360) = 1 This date: Winnipeg (Pop. 693 200) = 33 Winnipeg (2010) = 21 Winnipeg (2009) = 25 |
London stands at 1.8 per 100,000 for 2010. If Windsor can do zero we ought to be able to as well. Last year and this year there have also been plenty of violent crimes, including one where a couple of people were beaten on Thanksgiving and left for dead in the city's East End. Windsorites have had just as hard a time as Londoners, so high unemployment rates are no excuse, these are just scum with no civic pride.
Here is a handy map from the Glob&Fail, forgive me if it's a repost. Note that Nunavut has the highest crime rate in the country: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/...rticle2214149/ |
The population is so low in Nunavut, any amount of crime is going to put the crime rate per capita through the roof.
St. John's homicide rate is probably sitting somewhere around 1.5 per 100,000 people at the moment, the second highest on record, though still quite low. A close call last week with a drug shooting downtown, would have been the fourth homicide of the year. |
Winnipeg now at a record 34 (tied with 2004).
|
Thunder Bay is now at three. This is half of the rate in 2009 but still above average. I don't know stats for the region but it is lower than previous years. (It was 12 / 250,000 in 2009.)
It occurred in a social housing development, the victim (21) and the accused (22) were friends who had been drinking on Saturday and somehow got into a fight that led to injuries resulting in death on Sunday night. Also, the first homicide of this year, involving four youths (one who has since died in jail) who killed a 54 year old man in January, has hit a snag as one of the suspects seeks a new lawyer. After my uncle was killed several years ago, it took about two years for the murder trial to work its way through the courts. We recently wrapped up a murder trial involving a murder that happened in the 1990s... |
Calgary had its seventh homicide this last weekend.

Winnipeg Reaches Record high with North End Shooting at McPhillips Hotel. This puts the city at 34 homicides this year. This is the second shooting death in two days. One shooting death in The North End on Saturday, and one on Sunday. That is also three shootings in two days, two of which in the North End. as one man still lies in critical condition, from a Lord Selkirk Park Shooting.
Map of Homicides: http://www.cbc.ca/manitoba/features/homicides/ Note that the majority of the killings occur in one region of the city. While three quarters of the map is virtually homicide free. Neighbourhood Perspective: North End: Lord Selkirk Park (Pop. 1 365) = 3 William Whyte (Pop. 6 220) = 2 Dufferin (Pop. 2 090) = 1 St. Johns (Pop. 7 725) = 2 Robertson (Pop. 4 205) = 1 Total (Pop. 21 605) = 9 North Central Winnipeg: North Point Douglas (Pop. 2 225) = 7 Centennial (Pop. 2 225) = 1 Total (Pop. 4 450) = 8 Downtown: Portage-Ellice (Pop 1 105) = 3 Central Park (Pop 3 555) = 2 Exchange Dist. (Pop 420) = 3 Total (Pop. 5080) = 8 South Winnipeg: River-Osbourne (Pop. 4 880) = 2 Fort Richmond (Pop. 11 610) = 1 Munroe East (Pop 8 460) = 1 Niakwa Place (Pop. 2 385) = 1 Total (Pop. 27 335) = 5 West End: Daniel Mcintyre (Pop. 9 750) = 2 St. Mathews (Pop. 5 575) = 1 Total (Pop. 15 325) = 3 North East Winnipeg: Beaumont (Pop. 2 360) = 1 Total (Pop. 2 360) = 1 This date: Winnipeg (Pop. 693 200) = 34 Winnipeg (2010) = 21 Winnipeg (2009) = 25 |
/\ Sure. Just like the majority of social assistance services can be found in one area of a city. It isn't really much to say it is restricted to one geographic area. Yes it means less affluent people are killing each other, but that is a pretty general stat across the board in Canadian cities.

PEI has 140,000 people and consistently reports 0, 1 or 2 murders per year. NL has 500,000 people and murders are typically much less than 10, usually less than 5 and some years there are none. |
A double-homicide in Longueuil early this morning. #3 and #4 if I am not mistaken.

Two men were found dead in apartment above a strip club in Longueuil... Their deaths are being treated as suspicious.

Wow, I thought the strip club in Thunder Bay was dumpy...
