Just as I predicted years ago that crime would increase up there - I am also predicting that Canadians will someday feel the need to arm themselves - from the riots that were going on down here and the lack of police protection citizens felt they better get prepared to defend themselves - you wait - it will happen up there too - you are just a couple years behindQuote:

What's normal? - what was normal 10 - 20 -30 years ago ain't normal today - Gilroy - old buddy - you are living in the past - your not aware what is going on in some of our big cities - it won't be long and it will spill out into the suburbs and spill up into your neck of the woods - get ready
Most of us here will be feeding dew worms long before that ever happens. This ain't the States and our mentality just isn't what yours is when it comes to guns. Besides, we don't have the population or the poverty needed to fuel rampant gun crime that you folks enjoy.
Lots of gun crime in our cities. Shootings are pretty much a daily occurrence in Toronto.Quote:

It's nowhere on the scale it is in most American cities. As I seem to recall, they have 10 times our population but 50 times the firearms related deaths.Quote:

You got to look at the big picture - the definite trend is that things are getting worse with regard to crime, morals, - cheating, stealing, killing and just about everything - what will drastically change this trend - I don't see anything coming along - just as you would look at trends when you evaluate a stock on the stock market - you look at trends to guess what the future will be like - all the bad stuff will continue to grow until you are faced with it up in Canada -
That is because your news came from the maritimes.Quote:
