For Canadians

Heres a question, is Canada really as safe as that film made out, you know Bowling for Columbine.

I think canada is safe! I saw that film. I saw surprised by the crime rate, how low it was in canada compared to USA

Bah! You're not Canadian so how do you know?

In my area in the last month, 2 shootings. and a woman threw her 3 year old child off an overpass into highway traffic and then jumped off herself.

You be the judge.

Pfft....that's the Toronto area, so of course that's gonna happen there.

As for the rest of Canada, yes, it is true Alfheim. Granted , we still have crime, but relative to the US, we're a crime free Utopia.

Can't we swap positions for a little while? It gets a little tiring.

Well that was another thing I was thinking it will depend on the area. In all honesty I think crime is increasing in London. Unfortuantely the Uk likes to take all bad habits from the US.

I was thinking that of course you have to know which areas to avoid in Canada.

No I do not live in canada yet! 🙂 But i know things about canada as canada is my country at heart! I know these things also because my cousin lives in canada! I also know where high crime rates are. I just do not hear canadian news.From what i hear i know toronto is fairly crimy but not as bad as US cities, a lot of people know that.

Ok fair enough.

Oh of course i am not so great at knowing the crime rates properly as we do not have canada news LOL! But i just generally know and probably am right over that, when i say that the us would be a lot more crimer.
London england areyou taling about?
That is not extremly crimy at all. Maybe was last year. Oh yea i love BC😛

✅ Any large metropolitan area will see an increase of course, it stands to reason. Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal....all have higher crime rates, than say, Moose Jaw (yes, I had to use that example) or Regina. Compared to the States though, we have very little crime.

I live in a nice city called London, Ontario.

twice in the last month someone has gone to the downtown and opened fire into a crowd.

Vancouver??? 😖

That is why i could never live right in a city. I mean compare europe with england, theyre both different! In europe, I think cities are generally safer.
