Try going to downtown Rochester or Buffalo after 8 pm without being raped or mugged several times. That is not a problem here in Toronto, Vancouver (although Hastings street is a mess) or Calgary.
Wet Grunt we are somehow different from "them".

Wow. I was in Dallas not even 6 mos ago and I tell you what I‘ve NEVER been to a cleaner city with nicer people. When is the last time you were south of the border. And dont say "them" because Im both and I wouldnt have it any other way. Heres a quick Canadian test- in your head of course. Name the first 4 canadian prime ministers? Dont reply to this thread about it. You could easily "google" it. Bet you cant do it. Thats because your pride for being a Canadian comes from not being American.
Than compare Toronto‘s 30 homicide deaths with Chicago‘s 600...
And Chicago is only slightly larger than TO, so do not use that as an argument. Also, we here in Canada have a larger ratio of guns per capita than you Yanks. Where does that come from?

Im not a yank. I grew up here. In Canada. Ill die in Canada(God willing). No more leftist liberal crap for you. You are now restricted to 2 viewings of Bowling for Columbine a week. It couldnt possibly stem from a greater disparity between economic classes and education levels could it? Give it time. We will all get there soon enough.

Anyways there is no way you or I will convince each other otherwise right? So cheers mate. Just keep in mind that this is a military board and most guys in the military will defend other militarys out of respect. (if they are worth their salt they will) Carry on.
My opinion about poor security in some US cities comes from my relatives reaction (they‘re from Rochester NY), who were shocked when I invited them for a night downtown (here in TO), and were even more astonished when I suggested that we take the subway.
Never been to Dallas, so I‘ll have to take your word for it.

I had a huge long post written about how Canadians and Americans really aren‘t that different but instead I thought I‘d do this:
"Try going to downtown Rochester or Buffalo after 8 pm without being raped or mugged several times. That is not a problem here in Toronto, Vancouver (although Hastings street is a mess) or Calgary."
Rochester Crime Rate: 7414.5/100,000
Buffalo Crime Rate: 6868.6/100,000
Various Ontario City Crime-Rate (per 100,000):
Thunder Bay ( 10,379 ), London ( 8,284 ), Windsor ( 7,892 ), Ottawa ( 7,672 ), St. Catharines ( 7,465 ), Sudbury ( 7,102 ), Hamilton ( 7,074 ) and Kitchener ( 6,849 )
Toronto: 5,839
So you‘re more likely to be raped or mugged in which Ontario Cities? ... ..

You can dig statistics like that up on many local news agencies. Local Universities often carry the statistics for various reasons
eg:
www.rit.edu/~jmkgcj/research/chart%20of%20the%20week/CrmRateComps.pdf
statscan.ca is a great place for canadian statistics, the toronto star had good numbers for the across ontario #‘s but they were just pulled from stats canada (those #‘s may be a year old). Sorry I‘d go look up the exact URL I got it from but my computer is being slow as molasses.
Anyway I just hate to see people say Americans are more prone to violence, or stereo-type them. I‘ve got far too many great American friends.
Proud to be a Canadian, but proud to have our neighbours to the South as well.

I feel so proud :blotto:
*tries to steal message board for drug money and shoots Mr Bobbit*
The crime rate number may be equal, but the character of the crimes is probably totally different. Those numbers in Thunder Bay probably account for littering, loitering, walking on freshly planted grass and ignoring to clean dog excriments.

Yeah...probably, eh? That ranks just as low as "assume" and "most likely" in my book of highly accurate statistical phrases. Keep diggin, stud.

Actually, we had the highest homicide rate in Canada for a while (not sure we still do) - per capita, for a region of 120 000 people.
The police also make a heck of a lot of drug busts, and have a Tri-force unit set up to deal with them.
