Let's focus on the here and now, late 2011. I don't agree with the liberties you take with what you generally think "Americans think" or what 307 million Americans are. I mean like a whole lot. Probably the only offensive/upsetting thing you could say about America, in my opinion, is that it is monolithic. But, I digress. I came onto this board to learn about my good neighbor to the north. I'm also glad that you have been exposed to different experiences and points of view in Canada. I wish many more Americans would at least visit Canadian cities more often. |

God dammit, London. 7th so far this year. All we know is someone was found dead at 466 Adelaide St. North, and some bloke was arrested. Police are being very tight-lipped.

7 is not that bad compared to Halifax's 17.
|
It's worse than Thunder Bay (on a per 100,000 rate), and we were the murder capital last year. We've actually done surprisingly well compared to the last few years. Not only is the number of actual homicides down to two, but the number of violent assaults that result in hospitalization is down, though the few that we had were pretty bad compared to previous years.
Our Christmas housefire season has started, though. Pretty much every night, something is catching fire up here. One guy's house got hit twice in a week, first because of a faulty lamp, and then he apparently got hit with arson (total coincidence). Not a very happy Christmas for him. |
It looks like Halifax will be the homicide capital. Even higher than Winnipeg and Edmonton. That leaves a rate of 5.9/100 000. Winnipeg and Edmonton both sit at 5.4. 17 in a city sounds like it belongs out west.
|
Toronto still sits at 44 with only two weeks left in the year. The CBC has an up to date interactive map you can track the locations and descriptions of the homicides.
http://www.cbc.ca/toronto/features/homicide2011/ Last year we had 60, and in 2009 we had 61. I think as more people are moving into the core and areas gentrify and become more 24/7, neighborhoods in the city become safer. |
Wow, Edmonton is tied with Toronto at 44 murders - http://www.cbc.ca/edmonton/features/homicide/
|
How are Regina and Saskatoon doing?

As I said before, the single largest government office in Thunder Bay belongs to INAC. Whatever they're doing isn't show many decent results, and yet Harper has allowed this government waste, and a lack of accountability at the level of First Nations governments, to exist for almost 6 years. When is he going to do what he promised? |
7 is too high for London, need to get that down. I think the long term average is 5 or less.

Toronto's murders were never really concentrated in the core areas, and in fact the murders are pretty much spread across the city, with a slightly higher number in the suburban districts. |
I'm surprised by London as well. Still very low by Western Canadian standards.
Still, considering London has 370,000 that still is a rate of only about 1.8/100,000. |

Is there any way of getting numbers for past years for homicides in Canada? Like past yearly leaders? Maybe in a nice shiny graph or table? :haha:
