Montreal (17)
Vancouver (17)
Calgary (24)
Ottawa (12)
Edmonton (40)

It's pretty much on par with most years. I think the lowest I've seen in this decade was 20. But, as the population grows, the homicide rate has actually decreased from where we were in the 1990s and 2000s.

And the reality is that most of these homicides are confined to one, small part of the city: North End-Point Douglas area. It's really no different than Jane and Finch in Toronto.
