Can you imagine anyone doing this in Canada?
 

Just been doing my daily scan of the UK news and was amazed by this story.

Can't imagine anyone (but the seriously dim) doing this in Canada. What is happening in the UK? Its no wonder more police are getting out of the Job and heading over here.

Re: Can you imagine anyone doing this in Canada?
 

Yes. Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Re: Can you imagine anyone doing this in Canada?
 

Well maybe not here in the GTA

But given the recent crime stats released today then yes out west.........

I was thinking of Caledonia or perhaps Malvern Heights.

What in the crime stats would lead you to that assumption?:confused:

Still like to know what you see in the stats that makes you come to your assumption?

Re: Can you imagine anyone doing this in Canada?
 

It says

"Western provinces continued to have the highest crime rates, while Ontario and Quebec were at the lower end."

Re: Can you imagine anyone doing this in Canada?
 

I know what it says but that doesn't mean that the sort of attack discussed in the original post is any more likely to occur in western Canada than it is in eastern Canada.

Shakes head and walk away muttering...:confused:

Re: Can you imagine anyone doing this in Canada?
 

Oh agreed. Of course it's not likely to happen in the UK either, otherwise it wouldn't be a topic of discussion.

Re: Can you imagine anyone doing this in Canada?
 

But do we beleive everything we read in the media?

1 big difference though here is the cops are packing!

Re: Can you imagine anyone doing this in Canada?
 

But the crime, unlikely as it is, illustrates the lack of respect certain aspects of society have for the police and the law in this country, which is surely a growing phenomenon. Is it the same in Canada?
