It's only March and we may have a winner for most ignorant post of the year.

Cold weather: explains why generally more crime occurs in summer months
Desolation and boredom: care to explain the causation here? I'm sure all the boredom in New Orleans is to blame for the crime problems there.
We could all go on about your absurd generalizations but what would the point be?

It's funny after how Vid so rightly pointed out the ignorance of much of Canada toward the Aboriginal reality we have a post like this. You mention it in the end, but it's certainly not an "in addition to" factor, it is THE factor. Again, as Vid pointed out, until there's a better understanding of the nuances of this issue we're going to see continued ignorance with regards to the higher crime rates in this region.

At least you might be on to something regarding Abbotsford, unless you're into bible thumping or raspberry farming the place is boring as hell. Although you might want to learn the difference between capitol and capital.
