SWAT team called in Longueuil last night, 12 hour standoff, 30 people evacuated, one homicide.

Not sure how many homicides there have been on Longueuil territory this year.

Still over 2 years murder free here in Windsor.

New study out now that measures crime in Canadian municipalities with over 10,000 people, finds 5 of the top 10 safest cities and towns are located right here in Essex County! Pretty impressive considering Detroit is less than half an hour away.

I suppose. But it is also separated by an international border, and of course in a different country, so I think the comparison is shaky at best.

Sorta like the cities on either side of the US and Mexico borders... just a slight difference in crime rates...

^ Impressive in that 5 of the top 10 in all of Canada were in our county alone (which is very impressive) The fact that our neighbour Detroit is so close is secondary.

The demographic history of Detroit is very different from Windsor, even though they're just across the river. You can't really compare the two.

What is going on in Edmonton? they are setting a record high and we might have a record low (in recent history anyway, Calgary is at 6 or 7 right now).

Two Killed in Shooting at Gloucester Centre: Citizen
Lauren Davis with Phil Gaudreau
Wednesday, October 26, 2011

Police are investigating a shooting at Gloucester Centre around 8:30 this evening.

According to the Ottawa Citizen, two people have been killed, but police will only confirm two have been taken to hospital.

Officers confirm they have no one in custody.

If you've seen anything suspicious in the Blair and Ogilvie Road area this evening, you're asked to call police.

Real good point. El Paso, Texas has one of the lowest murder rates in all of the U.S., yet Ciudad Juarez across the river is probably the murder capital of the entire world.

caltrane74 · #**1255** Posted **Oct 27, 2011, 1:25 PM**

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.....

Rusty van Reddick · #**1256** Posted **Oct 27, 2011, 2:47 PM**

Of course you can "compare" Windsor and Detroit- in fact it's absolutely enlightening and even essential at understanding the vital differences between the US and Canada, particularly to shut up the morons who insist that the two countries are the same. Detroit and Windsor have a lot in common and anybody who insists that crime in the US is about class and not race has to confront the examples of both cities. Race, racism, and race politics are the Leitmotifs of American history and Detroit vs Windsor is a great opportunity to witness that history- and the history of Canada too. You can and should "compare" Detroit proper to the murder rates of its vastly white suburbs. Windsor isn't monolithically white but the richest of Detroit's suburbs are. We learn nothing about murder without confronting and problematizing these comparisons.

And yes there are very few murders in El Paso- it's one of the lowest rates in the Americas among major cities in fact- but DOZENS of El Paseños are murdered in Juarez. Very different situation from that in Windsor.

Been lots of gang activity in Edmonton. They're going through the stuff Calgary went through in past years.

Tarsus · #**1258** Posted **Oct 27, 2011, 2:54 PM**

I'm curious to what the actual numbers are for all the cities over 500k. This is what it looks like so far.

Edmonton 43
Toronto 39
Montreal 31
Vancouver ?
Winnipeg ?
Ottawa 9
Calgary 6
Hamilton ?
Quebec ?

drizzo_613 · #**1259** Posted **Oct 27, 2011, 4:45 PM**
