Because this is Canadian news, and you'd be surprised how little happens in a country with gun controls, Police who take protect and serve seriously regardless of your skin color, and a tenth of the population of our neighbors to the south. The bar is pretty low for news in Canada, and that's the way we like it.
- JoeAltmaier 9y agoI have great respect for Canadian law enforcement. But its not all roses. Canadian native women have a shameful unsolved murder rate - the 2nd worst in the developed world. So some room to improve.
- Kluny 9y agoWell there ain't been anything new on that front for quite some time.
- slededit 9y agoCanada's native population has suffered. But it's important to put things in perspective. In 2016 there were 142 female aboriginal homicides total in all of Canada [1]. In comparison it takes Chicago alone only 2 months to hit that number. http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/85-002-x/2017001/article/54879/tbl/tbl07-eng.htm http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/85-002-x/2017001/article/54879/...
- hackerman12345 9y agoWhat a strange comparison - apples to gang war zones.
- slededit 9y agoIf Chicago is too violent then it's equivalent to 6 months in NYC which most people consider safe these days.
- gaadd33 9y agoThere seem to only be 718500 Aboriginal females in Canada and there are 8.5 million people in NYC and in 2017 there were 334 murders. So 1 murder per 5000 Aboriginal females in Canada and 1 murder per 25000 people in NYC. With those numbers it sounds like Canada's police force needs a lot of help in lowering that murder rate.
- Smoofer 9y agoEver hear of the Highway of Tears? Canada has its own racial issues.
- refurb 9y agoAs a fellow Canadian, you're way overstating things. Canada might not have the same problems as the US, but oh boy, do they have problems.
