Highly unlikely. Where are you getting this bullshit fact from? Or did you just make it up.

I don`t have a source but shootings are so rare that pretty much every single one is reported here, even if there's no victim. I follow local news very close and can say there have been very few shootings this year.

Your city on the other hand is a shooting range in comparison.

I bet on the word liar being used at least 3 times in J.Wills next post. Any takers?

I'm quite certain that you're lying. You can prove me wrong if you choose to though.

Good call Suburbanite.

I never used the word liar. Nice try though

When people are clearly lying, I call them out on it. Like the guy who said downtown L.A.'s population has increased more than 400% since 2000. It hasn't.

You truly are a beacon of shining light on these forums full of lying liars.

your grasp of English may require some tuning up. in adult company, the term lying is typically used for situations in which the speaker KNOWS that what they are stating is false. the term you may have been looking for is 'being mistaken.' it is far from the same thing.

Anyone with even a modicum of intelligence knows that the claim he made (less than 10 shootings in the city of Montreal all year) cannot possibly be true. There's been 8 murders, and the number of shootings is always several times the number of murders.

Besides, I'm not the one who started the idiotic Toronto-Montreal comparisons. He did by responding to me saying that Toronto's had 80 shootings this year. If you don't believe me, just read the posts in order. I didn't say anything about Montreal prior to that. I said that Toronto has 80 shootings this year. He replied that that's "a lot" (which is not true, compare it to other N.A. cities of similar population), and made the claim that Montreal probably has less than 10. I'm not even the one who brought up the comparison to begin with.

Toronto has a much larger gun and gang culture than Montreal, especially street gangs. So im not sure why you're so shocked that there could be so few shootings in this city. Even with Toronto`s bigger population and even if Montreal had 20 shootings this year (which it clearly hasn't if you follow the news closely like I do) it would mean that you are more than twice as likely to get shot in Toronto than in Montreal.

I'm by no means trying to bash Toronto, just pointing out some facts.

you have completely missed the point. it is unnecessary, impolite, and incorrect to call someone a liar when they are most likely just mistaken.

And I'm pointing out the fact that your assertion that Montreal has less than 10 shootings on the year is so obviously wrong, that you cannot possibly believe it to be true. If you look at the shootings:murders rate for any city it is several to 1. Not even you can possibly believe that Montreal has less than 10 shootings on the entire year.

and even if Montreal had 20 shootings this year (which it clearly hasn't if you follow the news closely like I do)

It likely has more than 20. I've given you an opportunity to prove that your statements are accurate, but you haven't responded with a source. I take that as an admission that you are just making things up.
