Re: Canada's most dangerous cities
Interesting article, thanks for sharing. It has to be said that there are good and bad parts of every city, so this should be taken in context. Don't be scared to pop into a local Police office and ask about the area you are interested in....they know which are the better areas to live in within their city.

Re: Canada's most dangerous cities
I can't really think of anything less useful to a potential immigrant.
People who want to go to Vancouver want to go to Vancouver, they do it despite the job market and would do it if the crime levels were those of Fort Wayne IN. People who don't move to Regina or Winnipeg or Saskatoon or Edmonton, don't do so because they're brutally ugly places in the middle of the steppes, the natives killing each other doesn't deter them and harmony wouldn't encourage them.
I suppose someone might choose between Guelph and Kitchener based on the relative crime levels but am surrounded by people who live in one or the other and don't know which is worse so I suppose it's not such a difference that people talk about it.

Re: Canada's most dangerous cities
Always got me thinking why they called it the Wild West as opposed to the
Wild East, South or North. Now we know.
Obviously some smart ass will refer to the Wild West as being in the USA and not Canada but eh who cares
Let the fun begin

Interesting to note that the Vancouver Sun seems to suggest that the police that are responsible for Prince George are incompetent. Why hasn't Mr. Legebokoff been charged with the 4 murders the police allege he has committed

I see Belleville made it as #11
There are rough parts, but Id say the statistics really dont match up with the reality of living here in the most part. I suspect a few high profile homicides here have pushed it up the chart, but the reality is that in the preceeding 13 years there was nothing to report. Rus Williams was probably responsible single handed for half the murders and many of the reported sexual assualts and B&Es, and it seems unlikely he will be out again any time soon.

But given the money that lives here, I'm sure we have billions in tax fraud, insider dealings, and copius amounts of white collar crime, just all clean and above board and not recorded, caught, and well they play golf with the commisoner and mayor

Re: Canada's most dangerous cities
Not sure if they are including Trenton or not but TBH no one who can afford it stays near the base in Trenton, it smells cos of the paper mill. I figure most of the non "grow op" people moving into the $250k new sub division houses in Belleville are probably military, so yes, Belleville does suffer the typical problems that tend to be found in garrison towns. Roll on JTF2 moving in, thats bound to help right

Great. That will be another 30 minutes of news time wasted on navel gazing this evening.

Re: Canada's most dangerous cities
My wife has completed the university part of her Midwifery assimilation program and will now be assigned to a hospital in Ontario to complete her first year registration. After 12 months she can apply to any hospital in Ontario but she's pulled Belleville out of the hat so Belleville it is for the next 12 months. We've rented a place in East Belleville so we've got to roll up our sleeves and get on with it. I hear bin tag theft is rife around here
