Don't you just love all these world governments...when something goes wrong, dont accept responsibility just blame America.It is kind of interesting that Canada's violent crime rate is soaring. Anyone remember Michael Moore's documentary "Bowling for Columbine" where he basically surmised that Canada has less crime because their leadership and their culture are just less violent. So much for that theory.By the way, you guys might be missing one of the key causes of Canada's increase in crime: violent youth gangs. Even this article briefly mentioned them at the end. It might not be politically correct to discuss this though because you will be called racist. But let's be honest, immigrants from abroad are commiting the overwhelming majority of these crimes. As Canada becomes more diverse it will only get worse.

I was watching the news last night, and they compared the number of murders in TO, to the number of murders in Chicago (both cities are about the same size). Tornto had like 78 last year and Chicago had like 430. And Chicago isn't even known for being a dangerous place. For a city of 4-5 million like Toronto, I think it's numbers are still safe.some people here and on other message boards make tdot sound like new york back in 92, 78 murders thats nothing78 murders is a lot, it's 78 too many in my opinion.

New york city had 560 murders this year and everyone is making a big deal about how great it is b/c its the lowest amount since they started recording these statistics in 1960.

Canada has no clue of how to deal with this problem. I mean, our PM's brilliant idea to solve this problem is to "ban" handguns.

A better way of summing up my thought would be to compare it to one's house being robbed when the front door was left wide open.

I don't blame America for our gun problem, but I do feel the americans that are selling the guns or bringing them in should be punished. I still think the main blame falls on the soft sentencing of those caught with guns, and the media representation of blacks as well as the lack of male role models contributes greatly to the behaviour. Native Americans had it much worse than Blacks in this country and while they have their own set of major issues, gun murder isn't one of them. Asians had it pretty bad here for a while too. Arabs, Sri Lankans, Eastern Europeans, and Africans as well. The major problem is with Jamaican and other Carribean immigrants. The lifestyle they came from which is in the home and the lifestyle they see growing up on TV and in music has to have an effect. Look at all the blacks in Nova Scotia who came with the Underground Railroad; Crime is low, murder is low, productivity is on par wih the rest of Canada. The Carribean black on average is way more likely to fall through the cracks than any other black in this country because of a lot of factors. Media may not be the main one but it has to count for something.
God America is awesome, the rest of the world even envies our negative traits. It's beautiful how we're the number one country in the world.
