Really? Toronto's only 57 on that list? The hipsters up there are a force to be reckoned with, they'll hit you so hard you'll just burst into coins. XD

i'm sorry, in particular, to read this about one of my favorite cities, victoria, but i think the data here, while not to be pooh-poohed, is displayed in such a way as to escape comparison with its truly lethal neighbor to the south. it is not easy to get side by side figures but i can find a murder rate for victoria of 1.44 per 100,000 here:
http://www.kelowna.com/2009/10/28/kelow ... n-centres/
& for dallas (where i live) it's 15 per 100,000:
http://www.areaconnect.com/crime/compar ... llas&s2=TX
in other words, 10 times higher.
i think that accurately reflects the difference between the two countries.

I thought the same thing. The most dangerous city in the U.S. is New Orleans, which had a rate of 52/100,000 in 2009, making Dallas rather peaceable in comparison. But a ranking of most dangerous Candian cities is like a ranking of most dangerous fluffy kittens.

I'm just going to say this, you totally missed the joke I was going for. But you are right, that is weird... not that I consider myself an expert on Canadian cities, however.

Well, MacLean's is a Canadian publication, after all. It's no wonder it's only ranking Canadian cities. I can respect what you're saying, though. I used to live in North Georgia. Even walking through the worst part of East Hastings (which is the slum neighbourhood of Vancouver) pales in comparison to Atlanta.
Oddly the most dangerous cities in Canada are also the "whitest" I notice. There is an underclass of whites here that are stirring up trouble. It's funny how most of the non white immigrants here are industrious workers with generally crime free areas while whites are creating their own ghettos (east side of Vancouver, Hamilton, Prince George)

Think of it this way:
One year, Toronto had 50 homicides--and there was a BIG uproar!
New York City, about 2.5 times the population of Toronto, had about 400 homicides last year--and that was the LEAST amount of homicides in NYC in about 50 years. It was considered a very low total, indeed.
About 20 years ago, NYC routinely topped 2,000 homicides.
